‘Ooh De Lally’ is Culinary Excellence with a Noble Cause

A beautiful mural decorates the wall facing the front door to Ooh De Lally on Underwood Avenue in Dundee. The mural was created by self-taught painter and artist Eduardo Gardea, who has experience as a specialist providing support to formerly incarcerated Nebraskans seeking employment. The mural is a representation of the Sherwood Forest with a prominent orange fox that has a strong semblance to the title character in Disney’s animated Robin Hood.

Knowing this, the mural takes on special meaning as it greets your journey into both fine dining excellence and a restaurant with an inspiring mission.

The name Ooh De Lally also pays homage to a song sung by Robin Hood and his Merry Men in the Disney film. There’s clearly a prominent, fitting theme that stems from Omaha’s Sherwood Foundation, the nonprofit organization that started this project. It’s also a victory call that bears significant meaning in Ooh De Lally’s mission to help incarcerated and rehabilitated adults win their lives back.

I talked with Ben Dabney, general manager at Ooh De Lally, to get some perspective on the restaurant and the inspired mission behind it. Dabney has noteworthy restaurant experience. Prior to Ooh De Lally, his first general manager role was at the original Jams followed by six years at Herb Sainte.

UNMC Announces Name of New West Saddle Creek Campus

A 30-acre district that seeks to cultivate collaboration, innovation and economic development just west of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has a new name – EDGE District.

“EDGE District will become a dynamic hub for health-focused scientific discovery, entrepreneurship and commercialization, some of the key items needed to ensure the state of Nebraska remains competitive on the national stage,” said H. Dele Davies, interim chancellor at UNMC. “Not only that, the district will also become a premier destination within the city — a place where individuals want to work, live and experience vibrant entertainment. In essence, EDGE will not only elevate the university’s role as a leader in innovation and research but also strengthen the city’s economic vitality and enhance the state’s reputation as a center of excellence and opportunity.”

UNMC owns much of the property of the triangle-shaped district, which is bordered roughly by Saddle Creek Road on the east; 48th Street on the west; and Farnam Street on the north. Already, several structures that will buoy the research discovery within the neighborhood are in various stages of development. They include:

Catalyst, a building that will bring UNMC’s UNeMed and UNeTech branches closer, to facilitate the growth of research and innovation and allow entrepreneurs, investors and businesses to collaborate in the renovated 1906 Omaha Steel Castings industrial tract. The 170,000 sq. ft. structure is being developed by Koelbel & Co. and GreenSlate Development. Catalyst plans to begin hosting several events later this fall and open in early 2025. In addition to the UNMC Innovation Hub within the facility, it will include 130,000 sq. ft. for businesses, a food hall, beer taproom and restaurant.

The CORE (Campus Operations and Research Excellence) Building, which will support computer-based research and wet lab-based research for drug discovery, oncology and other strategic areas. The shelled research floors are designed to provide essential lab and office environments, promoting collaboration among startup founders, industry leaders, scientists and inventors. In addition, the incubator lab space – tailored for startups – is outfitted with features and shared equipment to facilitate safe experimentation and expedite research endeavors.

A 750-stall parking garage that will be owned by the city of Omaha. Several possibilities of how to “wrap” the parking structure with amenities such as dining, retail, residences and green spaces are under consideration, and details would need approval from the University of Nebraska Board of Regents before moving forward.

Jeffrey P. Gold, president of the University of Nebraska System, said the EDGE District will be a game-changer for the state of Nebraska.

“UNMC recognizes an opportunity to expand its entrepreneurial investments and develop new programs, addressing needs both within the community and the institution. The pressing needs of the evolving health care landscape, such as the health care workforce crisis and regulatory challenges, highlight the urgency for such initiatives,” said Gold, who served as chancellor at UNMC from 2014 until earlier this year. “EDGE District will not only be a place where innovation and discovery take place, it also will provide infrastructure so that we’re able to take those developments to market right here, instead of losing start-up companies to the coasts or other locations. EDGE is not just a local or regional asset but a significant player on the global stage, poised to lead in health care transformation.”

UNMC also revealed EDGE District’s logo on Thursday. The logo is a triangular shape that subtly nods to both the district and the “E” for EDGE. The kaleidoscope of colors represents the many perspectives within the district – community members, startup founders, corporate partners, district residents, faculty, students or others.

Anne Barnes, vice chancellor for business, finance and business development at UNMC, said the EDGE District strives to grow new businesses, incubate ideas and foster collaborations, advancing research, tech transfer partnerships and community development.

Barnes notes that UNMC has engaged several stakeholder groups over the past few years in developing the district. Those viewpoints have been synthesized into various plans to move the district forward for optimal benefit to the university, city, state and beyond.

Omaha is the seventh most competitive apartment rental market in America, according to the New York Times. A recent study ranked 137 U.S. rental markets based on competitiveness across five metrics. In Omaha, an average of 13 prospective renters compete for each available rental unit. Here are the top 10 markets: 1. Suburban Chicago; 2. Miami-Dade County; 3. Milwaukee; 4. Bridgeport-New Haven; 5. Chicago; 6. North Jersey; 7. Omaha; 8. Suburban Philadelphia; 9. Manhattan, N.Y.; 10. Brooklyn, N.Y.

Omaha Christian Academy and Lifegate Christian School are joining forces to open a Christian high school in The Emerald Building at 2425 North 108th Street just southwest of Interstate 680 & West Maple Road. The schools also buying an adjoining 20 acres for athletic fields, according to Bill Black of NP Dodge, who represents the school. The new school should be open for the 2025 academic year with about 200 students, eventually growing to 600, staying a class B school.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved an amendment to the tri-party agreement between the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Kiewit Building Group and HDR Architecture regarding the massive Project Health development. The amendment increases some of the contract amounts, and more importantly, allows the parties to move forward to the validation phase. This phase of the project will establish an accurate estimation of the costs and scope. The Board also approved an auditing contract with KPMG for accounting services related to Project Health. Funding for this early phase of Project Health are derived strictly from donations, not allocated state or budgetary funding.

The Omaha City Council approved an ordinance allowing the city to purchase land for the Beltline Trail Project in North Omaha. The project is led by the Papio-Missouri River NRD. The phased project will eventually have a trailhead at Military Avenue & Hamilton Street and create a multimodal corridor north to the Metro North Omaha Transit Center. There the Beltline Trail will connect with the North Omaha Trail. The ordinance grants authority to the city to negotiate with property owners along Phase 3 of the project. If needed, the city is authorized to initiate condemnation actions to acquire the needed land.

Demolition is taking place at two Midtown sites southwest of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Workers have demolished a vacant laundromat on the southeast corner of 50th & Leavenworth Street. That makes way for construction of Walter Apartments, a 4-story building with 53 units. Near Saddle Creek Road & Pacific Street, demolition is underway today on a couple commercial buildings, which will make way for a large apartment project with some commercial space.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

Fast Company recently shared six traits visionary leaders need to shape the modern world: 1. Creative innovation; 2. Vision; 3. A desire to change society; 4. Tenacity; 5. Ability to evaluate people; 6. Confidence to take calculated risks.

Home Depot will require corporate office employees to work one, 8-hour shift per quarter in one of its stores, so they understand what it’s actually like on the retail floor. Perhaps non-retail companies could learn from this.

The buzziest buzz term in the tech world is suddenly “founder mode,” coined just recently and fast propagating into business worldwide, according to Fortune. Founder mode is a way of running a company—the way a founder would run it—as distinct from manager mode, the way it would be run by “merely a professional manager.”

SALES

The best sales managers have a willingness to construct and commit to a sales process, according to Zach Drollinger, writing for HubSpot. If you can establish, monitor, and facilitate an effective sequence for your reps to follow when conducting their sales efforts, you can make both your and their jobs easier. There should always be some rhyme and reason to your team’s sales efforts — and the best managers know it’s on them to define and enforce what that will look like.

Sales Advice – “When times are good, you’ve got to get your fair share of the business,” writes sales author Mike Weinberg, “but when business is tough, we got to go get an unfair share!”

It’s not enough to have a relationship with one contact in a client company; you need “corporate rapport.” Build rapport with other people within the client company, says Colleen Francis, founder Engage Selling Solutions. With the amount of turnover that most companies have, it’s a mistake to assume that a loyal contact within the organization will necessarily lend itself to a secure relationship with the client itself.

My introduction to the smoke-and-mirrors world of economics came during my freshman year in college. The Professor was Joe McClintock, a down-to-earth farm boy from Missouri. The class I took was the last he would reign over before retiring. What I learned from Joe was good old common-sense stuff you can use in the real world. Not the high-falutin, theoretical bull crap my grandson learned in the econ class he just finished.

Joe taught me two important life and business lessons; “Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs” and “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

To understand the free lunch thing, consider the following example; Suppose a life insurance guy offers you a free lunch. Is it really free? No, you have to drive there. You give up time on the pickleball ball court and listen to his boring 45-minute sales pitch.

When I was a young, wet-behind-the-ears broker, clients would sometimes request a no-load (free) mutual fund. I would snap back with great indignation, “Yeah, its free but what do you get? You don’t get me and the advice and expertise of a cracker jack Wall Street professional. Translation; If you want to play, you gotta pay.

Also, during my broker years, there were many occasions when I heard Buffett opine that “whenever an investor and his money come together with a Wall Street money manager, it’s the money manage who walks away the winner.”

To reinforce his position, in 2017, Buffett invited Jack Bogle – the Godfather of low-cost index funds – to the Berkshire Annual Meeting. While introducing Bogle, Buffett boldly proclaimed that, “Jack has saved investors tens of billions of dollars, and going forward he will save them hundreds of billions more.”

Given the roller coaster ride the market has been on for the last few years, I decided to put pen to paper, and finger to calculator, to reconcile this free-lunch conundrum. In doing so, I recognized that in the mix was another fee – inflation. It reduces the value of our money, and is thus a cost of investing.

Drum roll please…During the past five years, inflation rose 28.3 percent. During the same five years, the S&P 500 rose 77.8 percent. Adjust the growth of an invested dollar for the cost of inflation, and during the past five years, the real value of an invested dollar grew at its historical average of 10.5 percent.

Bottom line – Investors with self-directed accounts at a discount broker can purchase S&P 500 index funds with no sales charge and no fee to the brokerage firm. The only fee they pay is a .02% maintenance fee to the fund company. Not totally free, but I think good old Professor Joe would approve.
