Business Ins and outs

By: Mr. Wilson on November 5, 2010
Trader Joe's may not plan to open until December 3, but its sign went up recently on its building at SouthPointe. I'm pretty sure I saw a line starting to form on the sidewalk outside. I guess folks are giddy. To the north and east Clocktower (70th and A) is getting a new restaurant that specializes in breakfast and lunch. Gee, that sounds familiar. The Egg and I is a smallish chain with a lone Nebraska location in Kearney. Ever since Clocktower started its renaissance I knew another restaurant was probably on the way. I held out hope that Garden Cafe might make a return. Oh well. So that's the good news. The bad news is Junior Shoe World is closing after a couple decades in business. We didn't shop there much but my sister did, as did many families we know.

I’ve been to the Egg and I in Boulder, CO, and it was both very good and the prices were reasonable. I believe it was a Saturday or Sunday morning, and it was packed.

This place will do well in Lincoln.

We tried to go to the new Picklemen’s Cafe downtown this week.  If you’re planning on going with children and anticipate some kind of regular sandwich that is appropriate for a child, this isn’t the place to go.  They don’t have a kids menu.. and when I asked if they could make a plain ham and cheese sandwich for a 3 year old, I was told no.  We ended up going to Doozy’s instead, that does have a very nice kids menu.

Thanks Stacy, that’s a great tip. Now that I have three boys I’ve noticed that I get pretty complacent about taking them out because almost every place DOES have some version of a kids’ menu. When I stumble across a place that doesn’t it always catches me by surprise.
