I rarely leave negative reviews, but after my experience with Clear Eyes in North Platte, I feel…read moreit's important to share what happened. I spent over $700 on a pair of prescription glasses using a prescription I brought with me from another eye doctor. When the glasses came in, the bifocal was positioned incorrectly, and they also had a yellow reflective coating that I never requested. I returned to have them corrected, but instead of listening to my concerns, the optician who manages the optical department immediately became argumentative. She repeatedly told me she had 10 years of experience and insisted the glasses weren't wrong. To the doctor's credit, he came out personally and tried to help by ordering replacement lenses. I truly appreciated his effort. Unfortunately, after wearing the replacement glasses, it became clear that the prescription I had brought in was not the correct prescription for my eyes. Now, I was now left with a pair of glasses that I couldn't wear. Because I was leaving town to care for a sick family member, I didn't have the time to start the entire process over again. I returned to the office simply asking for a refund. Instead, I was told that refunds are not given on prescription glasses and that I just needed to keep wearing them. If you can't see through your glasses, continuing to wear them isn't a solution. As a single mom, losing over $700 is a significant financial hit. What should have been a simple, compassionate conversation became another stressful situation during an already difficult time. The lack of professionalism from the optician and the unwillingness to work with me left me feeling completely dismissed. I understand businesses have policies, but good customer service is about how you treat people when things don't go as planned. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. If you're considering purchasing glasses from Clear Eyes, I encourage you to reconsider.

Great people and service with care! Would recommend to everyone whether local or onlineread more

I was still charged a delivery charge! I called the florist and they were rude and not customer focused. I would not recommend this business for quality flowers or customer service.

Just Go (#39) This…read morewas the latest "new" state we visited during our road trip to America's heartland visiting the Dakotas. It was a day trip that we included in our itinerary since we were already 'nearby'. On July 7, 2024 we were able to visit: * Scott's Bluff National Monument, Gering NE After stopping by the Visitor Center we drove a 1.6 mile scenic drive on Summit Road and did the short walk at the South Overlook Trail (one of two overlook trails) We skipped the longer hike to the Saddle Rock Trail due to time constraints. The paved trail included educational interpretive signs... the views of the prairie land were vast and amazing. Can't even imagine what the early pioneers endured during their journey to their westward expansion. The Visitor Center has displays of life-size prairie wagons towards the entrance to the park. Entrance is free. * Chimney Rock, Bayard NE We did not make it inside the Visitor Center because they closed at 4:00p (we were an hour late). We drove to another area called "Walk to the Rock" where we could see the Chimney Rock closer. The volunteer who welcomed us gave us the lowdown on "pathway rules" including "... if you encounter a rattle snake." We chose Trail "A" from the four different trails and the path that took us closest to the rock. It was a pleasant hike and we did not see any rattlesnakes シ * Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Harrison NE This was way out in the middle of nowhere in western Nebraska. TIP: make sure to gas up your car and bring snacks before heading out to the monument because the closest gas station is 30 miles out on Highway 29 heading either north or south. No vending machines at the Visitor Center. We watched a short film inside the small theater and checked out the interesting exhibits including a life-size display of ancient mammals. We had to drive to the open prairie where the fossils can be found on quarries where digs were conducted. Unfortunately, we were on a tight schedule and were not able to do the hike. We had dinner at the Flyover Brewing Company in Scottsbluff. We shared a Chicken Artichoke Pizza and a Burnt End Brisket Brat. There was live music entertainment. It was a busy venue. Thank you, Great State of Nebraska, for sharing your national monuments and landmarks,... learned so much about the emigrants as they progressed West on the Oregon Trail. Review #3595

My Beloved is a fan of astronomical curiosities…read more We've driven hours towards the desert to watch the Perseid meteor shower, and we're planning a 2018 European trip, probably to northern Norway, to watch the aurora borealis. For this year's Christmas and Valentine's gifts, I gave her a total solar eclipse. To be more precise, I gave her a weekend in Denver, and then a week-long road trip that began with eclipse-watching at a spot in western Nebraska that was in the "path of totality", followed by a week of driving around the prairie, looking for good steak and corn, nice people, and whatever interesting things we might find. ********** Several small Nebraska towns, some partnering with larger neighbors, formed the 2017 Nebraska Eclipse Coalition to attract and entertain tourists like us with events, speakers and promotional materials that guided our decision to visit. We left Denver at 4 a.m., stopped in Scottsbluff for breakfast at Shari's Café & Pies - a sort of mashup of Denny's and Marie Calendar's - then crossed the highway to wait for darkness in the parking lot of the local Target store. I must thank Target's management for allowing our group of 30-or-so cars to tie up space for the couple of hours it took for the eclipse to happen. Not only that, Target was good to their employees, allowing them to step outside during totality so they wouldn't miss the remarkable event. The topper: their group took a staff photo, all wearing their eclipse glasses. ********** Some other notes: - We discovered a couple making very drinkable wines in north-central Nebraska, at Niobrara Valley Vineyards. - I'd previously swapped email with Robert Joseph, owner of the Peppermill & E.K. Valentine Lounge in Valentine. He's a smart, funny businessman whose understanding of social media is effective and entertaining. We made it a point of stopping to visit with Robert and to enjoy a steak dinner - one of the two best I had in a week that featured five such meals. What's more, as I told people in other parts of the state that we'd eaten at the Peppermill, located in a town of 2000 people in north-central Nebraska, several of them knew the place, and had eaten there. If I thought I had anything better to offer Robert, I'd ask him to come help me with marketing, but frankly, though we have better winters, I think he's got the better gig. - Omaha was cool. Seriously. Like Buffalo, Baltimore and Milwaukee, it's an older, formerly industrial city that has been revitalized by "clean" business, and, along the way, its architecture, dining and other social markers have improved, even as the locals have preserved the best of the old stuff. I particularly enjoyed a great cortado at Culprit Cafe and Bakery, where I was happy to meet pastry chef/owner Luke Mabie and especially his chef, Ben Jordan, formerly of San Diego's Prepkitchen, a coincidence that opened the door to a nice chat about here and there. - I'd gone to the prairie expecting lots of Trump-related nonsense, but found little public idiocy. The most offensive thing I saw all week was at the Nebraska State Fair, where the right-to-life whackjob exhibit at the Expo Center covered a table with plastic models of fetuses. This was done in a way that children would see, which went beyond inappropriate, edging into disgusting. But 1A, so whatayagonnado? - The Nebraska State Fair is a no-carry event, a fact that earned it a spot on the "Unfriendly Business List" compiled by the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association. These are the same armed dickheads who gripe when they can't take a gun into their endoscopy appointment. It's ok with me that they boycotted the Fair. It made the event feel less 'Murica and much more American. - Finally, surprisingly, we played hell finding sweet corn, in the country's third-largest producer of corn. I finally found what I wanted at the Nebraska State Fair, at a stand called "Manny's Sweet Corn On-A-Stick". Manny sold elotes, which is comfort food for me, and which, I imagine, must seem a very strange and magical thing to Nebraskans. ********** Shari's Café & Pies: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sharis-restaurant-scottsbluff Target (Scottsbluff): https://www.yelp.com/biz/target-stores-scottsbluff Niobrara Valley Vineyards: https://www.yelp.com/biz/niobrara-valley-vineyards-nenzel Peppermill & E.K.

We have been ordering flowers from Westfield Floral for 7 years now. We are 4 siblings scattered…read morethroughout the country and our one sister will place an order to have flowers delivered to our father's gravesite out at Fort McPherson National Cemetery. She does this at least 5-6 times a year. They always go above and beyond of making sure our dad get's his flowers. Just last week we ordered a Christmas wreath and they went out during a really bad snow/wind storm to make sure his wreath was on his grave in time for Christmas! I didn't expect that and was a little concerned when I found out they made that delivery, because I was on Interstate 80 during that storm and I know just how bad it was. This is truly a company who cares and will take care of you and your love ones. Their arrangements are always beautiful. They will take a picture and sent it to us so we can see the arrangement on his grave. This makes us feel closer to our father, since be are unable to visit his grave very often. Thank you Kristine, we appreciate all that all of you do for us!
