Still wish the Flagship parking lot could be redone. It's an actual insurance liability.

The interior is simple and nice, and stores are spaced out well. There are maps around, and escalators, elevators, and stairs they rarely get too crowded. There's a wide variety of shops, as well as restaurants within and surrounding the mall. If I had one complaint about West roads, I feel the flagships common area is very crowded. This is a little tricky to navigate in and out, depending on the time of day you come. But I do appreciate that they have so many options within this small space! If I was going to any mall in Omaha, it would almost always be Westroads. They do a much better job at selecting and retaining businesses!

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. :-)

I love coming here! I've lived close for years and enjoyed the variety of shops and restaurants…read more This mall seems to be growing in popularity with new and trending places every year! 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!

The people working at the shops are very friendly and kind!

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.

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!

However, I was in the area for a meeting and was pleased to see how this place has filled in. This remind me of a very small scale Plaza in KC. It's truly an outdoor mall, featuring a lot of national brands on the main strip. There are big box stores outlining the mall, like Dicks, TJMaxx, Jc Penny etc. I like the offering. There is also some gyms, activities, esthetics, and more. My only complaint is the parking is less than desirable with a lot of one way parking strips.

For example, your Dad and I did a lot of moving around in the dark last night. Absolutely amazing Mall in the Omaha area about 10 miles south of downtown, which is an outdoor mall that has a little shopping-street type area and then has some massive strip mall type huge big box stores as well. It's very well done, and even though traffic is bad here and parking can be tricky, it's still easily the best mall in Nebraska, and is one of the major destinations for the whole area. I've been told that I'm stealthy and nearly invisible at night. This center is named after me then: "Shadow-Like." Oh that's not what it's called? Oops. I guess I put the DOH in Shadow.

If you're looking for something to any night of the week (even mondays) Blackstone is where to go. They recently had a construction project hurt a lot of business so it's more important than ever now to get out and support all these awesome beloved businesses.

The Blackstone District, as a neighborhood, is a nice little area of businesses, eateries, and…read morebars. I love that everything is so close together, so that it is easily walkable once you find a parking place (which speaking of that, can be a little hard to come upon a parking spot!) But once you DO find a parking spot or get dropped off, there are so many places to go and eat and drink and hang out. Our favorites are Nite Owl, Crescent Moon, First Round, Scriptown, and Mula. I do think there is a premium on food and drinks, when it comes to Blackstone. Could you get a cheaper drink elsewhere in town? I think so, but you're paying that extra cost, I think, to be in a district with lots of different places to check out instead of staying in one place with one menu. I have a few friends who live in the Blackstone District, and that's also not an inexpensive housing area to look at when house hunting. But they do love the easy access to a lot of businesses. Right now it's HEAVILY under construction and it can be very hard to find a place to park and then walk to your destination. Some places have even CLOSED because of the construction messing up the access to their buildings, unfortunately. Overall, I think Blackstone is a nice little spot with some good businesses. I hope it doesn't go the way of Midtown Crossing where they added a bunch of business and then it kind of went downhill and places ended up closed (aside from the construction woes) and it ends up kind of a ghost town. But for now, Blackstone is a hip little area to check out, definitely!

The prior commercial property management didn't address the panhandlers in the area to control…read moretheir loitering. The panhandlers had once loitered inside the marsh, leaving massive piles of trash, and unopened cans of food and other food and beverage items, all unopened. One man tried to clean up the mess by himself, and he was overwhelmed by the large amount of trash, which included disposed panhandling signs. The previous management ended up having to bring in a large pink hauling dumpster and it was filled past overflowing with the panhandlers' garbage. The panhandlers have since moved across the street to the other berm, and they have begun to leave behind trash and disposed panhandling signs behind the berm, and down by the drain. Sometimes the panhandlers leave personal trash on the berm just under the trees, in full view of passing traffic. I know the current commercial management, Lee and Associates have gotten calls to put up no loitering signs on the opposite berm and in the area close by the drain. They have yet to do anything to help curb the large amount of trash the panhandlers leave behind.
