We're starting to discover that Omahans just love any excuse to be outdoors. That's probably because winters here are rough. Personally I plan on subsisting on pizza delivery, not shaving to help maintain body heat and not leaving my house until April. But I've been known to be a tad dramatic at times.
This weekend we strolled to a friend's house for some drinks and sparkling conversation before heading down the block for to a great free (free! yay!) concert in Memorial Park. The band: Gomez, a British group with a folksy rock sound and a love of dirty Levis. (click here to check them out - c'mon, broaden your musical horizons a bit!)
Good times!
Earlier in the day we discovered a great salvage shop called A&R Salvage. From old clawfoot tubs to stained glass church windows and enough colored toilets and sinks to make your head spin, this place is very cool. Think of it like a big version of your grandpa's attic + the dump + that sketchy empty lot you used to play in as a kid even though your mom told you to stay away. (or was that just me?)
Look, Mr. P discovered the grill section:
Not to be confused with the GRILLZ section which sells these:
Ha! I kid! (but I wouldn't be surprised if these A&R guys had a bucket of these somewhere)
We bought a grill to replace one that was missing and hiding behind an old built-in and we went on our merry way. What a great weekend!
Omaha, you're my favorite!
