I have loved coming to OPP since I was a teenager. There are many stores that you can't find at the…read moremall, but are still nationally known. Until recently it was mostly shopping, and now of course you have the "been around forever" Wheatfields, another Popp eatery, Andres, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Red Mango, 801 Chophouse, and the belle of the ball, Trader Joes. It's funny to think most Omaha millennials might remember Trader Joes as the only Abercrombie and Fitch in town for awhile. How fitting it became another millennial destination! The parking is kind of a mess, it's very cramped and most parking is for TJ's. One bright spot is Zen Coffee has a drive through there so you can grab a delicious matcha latte before your weekly shopping. I'm glad to see new life and staples stay in this plaza.

I used to avoid this shopping center thinking it "snooty" - at least until Trader Joe's moved in…read more Now I make regular visits to shop there and frequent several other businesses. I get my hair cut at Five Salon which specializes in Aveda products. Next door is L'Occitane which is a line of beauty products and fragrances from Provence in the South of France. Kinda pricey but it's the real deal. Fun just to look at their beautiful packaging. Last year I started buying dress pants for work at Talbots. Again, not cheap but high quality (and they have frequent sales). There's a Bath & Body Works, Sur la Table for high end kitchen ware, Wheatfield's and Andres Tortillery for dining options, and other small boutiques. Last but not least, I absolutely cannot visit One Pacific Place without stopping at Nothing Bundt Cakes and picking up a couple of bundtlets - one chocolate chocolate chip and one Flavor of the Month!! Truth be told, sometimes I make up an excuse to stop at One Pacific Place just to go there. :-)

Popped over to Oakview on my lunch break. It's been awhile since I've visited and it's definitely…read morein a transition era, but you can feel little sparks of life coming back. They've cycled through a few food vendors and projects, and I'm hoping it helps bring some real traffic through again. I think JCP and the sewing shop may be the strongest parts right now and, of course, Sarku Japan is still out here thriving. Overall, I'm hopeful for Oakview, you can see the effort, but it'll be tough to find its footing with Village Pointe, not far away, and the Westroads trending in the right direction.

There are a lot of great local food spots in the food court, and Sarku Japan of course. It's a great place to meet to work or study and get a bite to eat. I looked into JCPenny and VS, I miss American Eagle, but I do think there are still a random variety of stores to check out, and a new kids play place coming this spring,

Miracle Hills is a unique shopping/eating center located right in the heart of the sprawling…read moreMiracle Hills area. There are dated 80's clothing store signs, which still remain vacant, but then also up and coming restaurants and popular eaterings and trendy sports bars. It's become more of a foodie area than what was once Crystals Closet, and other older stores. There is tons of parking, but the lot itself could be resurfaced. My son attended the martial arts place in the square and it was hard onthe tires to get there. If you're heading this way I would research some of the options in the plaza itself before going out the door.

The first visit was very…read moreunorganized and apparently the administrative staff recognized this because this time, the coordination and efficiency was greatly improved from 4 weeks prior. The wait time was cut in half from the doors opening on time to being seen at all staffed tables. The last visit, only half of the tables were operational due to the staffers not fully understanding the software system and how to access and input the data. There was none of that being heard or witnessed this morning. Hopefully, this site will funnel more residents through the doors in the next few months.

New life is being breathed into Regency! I like the mix of the stores here. From Borsheims, (I love…read moretheir free ring cleaning), to Anthropologie, Kinarra, PB Kids, and now Lululemon? There are many reasons to revisit this mall. Also included is Flemmings, a nice higher-end steak house is included and I would recommend them to anyone in town or visiting. I like stores like the Learning Express that bring in mascots of popular shows that bring kids out. The new wellness spa Valo is really well liked, and their bridal store is beautiful. Most recently I came to Regency for a pop up boutique shopping event, and then for a Yelp Blow-out event. It seems there is a lot more to come, like other mini-pop up vendors, dining, and newer stores. If you don't like the crowds of Westroads, this might be the place for you!

There's plenty of parking. Bathrooms towards the back between Pottery Barn Kids and Borsheims. Lots of live pants in the mall.

Rockbrook Village is truly one of my favorite spots in town--it has such a unique and welcoming…read morevibe. What I love most is the variety; you can find everything from cozy coffee shops and delicious local restaurants to boutiques and specialty stores you won't see anywhere else. It's the kind of place where you can spend an afternoon wandering, discovering something new, and supporting local businesses all at the same time. The atmosphere feels warm and community-driven, and every shop and restaurant has its own personality, which makes each visit special. Whether I'm meeting friends for a meal, browsing for gifts, or just enjoying the charm of the area, Rockbrook always delivers a great experience. It's a true gem and one of those places that makes you appreciate shopping and dining local.

I think the food and shopping scene are a good match for this area--higher end places focused on quality, and with higher price points to match the west Omaha/Elkhorn clientele. There is also a strong focus on athletic stores--probably because Scheels draws that crowd here. Parking is always an issue so plan accordingly! There are several lots, but you will often find yourself driving around for a few minutes and walking a bit more, so plan ahead. All in all the variety of stores makes for a fun outdoor shopping day, and there are plenty of quick or fancy dine in spots to choose from as you fuel up in between stores!

I was told that the new way…read moreto get your groceries is to tap on the app " I'm here/ on my way " instead of calling the number that's clearly on the drive up post. If these changes are to be known by customers the corporate office has to make changes to the signs outside. The store employee came out and tapped on my window asking " are you here hanging out or picking up groceries?" LOL - I was a bit confused when he said that. My first thought was " no I just got off work to park in this spot!" I refrained and told him I called the number on the post in front of me and he told me that's no longer the process. Well the number worked and took me through the whole process of my parking spot number and the groceries would be out in a few minutes if not call the number in 10 minutes. These corporations are a bit more clueless than the common everyday folks. We like to be notified of change prior to the immediate corporate shift in change.

I did expect the prices to be a little more competitive--the kids shoes I bought were $45 with tax which I didn't feel was an amazing deal for a store like this.
