Friday Five

Today's Friday Five is a simple game. I will name the features at (or near) each corner of an intersection except one. Your job is to tell me (1) what's at the remaining corner, and (2) which intersection it is. I will go clockwise around the intersection, but I won't necessarily start at the same corner every time. Example:furniture / bulls eye / chicken Answer: Best Buy (48th and R)
  1. burritos / onion rings / groceries
  2. movies / campers / pancakes
  3. dirt / barber / bank
  4. yoga / gas / popcorn
  5. phones / cars / insurance

Uhh, oops. On second thought, #2 isn’t right. You’re in the right area, though.

It isn’t supersaver on #2?

Actually that should be 27th and Cornhusker, not superior.

Good catch DMB!

It’s probably time for some hints.

3) It would have been easier had I said “dirt / jeweler / bank”

5) Phones and cars and insurance, O my!

Yep, that’s the one!

(How long has that building sat unoccupied? Five years?)

Doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but I’ll bet you’re right.  I’ve always thought that would be a nice place for some office space.  Lots of windows, it has its own parking.  Just a lot of road noise to deal with.
