Going for Two hits theaters across Nebraska on Friday, Oct. 23, and it was filmed right here in Omaha. We talked with writer and director Kathleen Welch Markel, an Omaha native, about turning Tom Osborne’s decision to go for two in the 1984 Orange Bowl into a coming-of-age comedy set in 1983 Omaha, starring Matthew Lamb and featuring Julianne Hough. It took 12 years to get from the page to the screen, and Markel calls it a love letter to Nebraskans. 🏈

Some flower shops sell bouquets, and some sell a little comfort. In downtown Bennington, Flora + Fern Design Co. does both. Owner Mia Eckhardt brings more than 35 years of experience to every arrangement, from QVC to the Nebraska Governor’s Mansion, and she designs with life’s joys and its hardest days in mind. 
 
Designer Lindsey Nickel is right beside her with 30+ years of her own, and together they create weddings, events, sympathy pieces, plants, gifts, and landscapes with a vintage touch and a modern twist. 
 
It’s a calm, welcoming stop for anyone in the Omaha metro who wants flowers made with care, or just a minute of quiet beauty in the day.

What happens to your hair after a haircut? At one Omaha salon, it eventually becomes soil.

Trio Salon near 144th and West Maple is finding creative ways to reduce waste, including composting hair clippings and recycling everything from hair-color foils to product containers.

They’re also using special shampoo-station showerheads that the salon says have reduced water usage by 65% while improving water pressure.

Who knew a haircut could be this environmentally friendly?
