It should be prefaced that before arriving at the restaurant, it was a completely ordinary day. The Midwestern sun did not lecture me too harshly, nor were the children I had just worked with any sort of trouble beyond what was usual. As such, I was not too tired, nor was my stomach demanding food. It was perfect for an honest review of a new restaurant. Well, except I did not do my research and went to Shiki right after my job with children and wore my work shirt and shorts with my beat-up “play tag with me Mr. Austin” shoes. 

This year's four inductees into the Commercial Real Estate Seminar's Hall of Fame have nearly 150 years of experience in the industry.

Deb Graeve-Morrison, Doug Nodgaard, Ember Grummons and Michael Moylan will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during the CRE Summit at CHI Health Center Omaha on Aug. 21, 2026.

"These four individuals are outstanding in their respective fields, and are very deserving of their induction into the CRE Summit Hall of Fame," said Jerry Slusky, CRE Summit founder and co-chair.

On a hot, overcast Saturday at Ralston High School, with rain dripping from the clouds, the Omaha Stockmen dismantled the Albert Lea (Minnesota) Grizzlies 42-7. 

The Stockmen, 5-1 and champions of the Frontier Conference of the Southern Plains Football League, are Omaha's answer to summer football. 

The Stockmen have played semi-professional football since 2015. They're Omaha's latest incarnation of minor league football.

Imperial tablecloths with gold etchings lay on maroon tables, which themselves stood upon dark floors. Surrounded by broad mirrors, the restaurant's atmosphere was both quaint and regal. Pink and red orchids stood in slim vases just to the side of my menu – a menu with too many options for an overthinker like me, but perhaps just perfect for the rapidly growing metro.
