We love it when our sponsors get the press they deserve. Like Ameripride. They’ve been one of our partners from the beginning of our show, and they were just featured in the money section of the Omaha World Herald. So now you can all read how great of a company they are.
Like this fun fact: They were actually started in Lincoln in 1889. Making them the oldest company in the uniforms and linens industry.
Thanks again, Ameripride, for your continued support of the Weekly Grind.

If you missed our show on Saturday, you missed the first official launch of The United Way Give 5 campaign. Ladies and gentlemen, the United Way has made it so easy (and so affordable) to make a difference in our community. All we’re asking for is $5. That’s right. 5 measly dollars. But if we all tell 5 friends, and they give $5…now we’re making a difference.
And it’s so easy! All you have to do is visit give5midlands.org and fill out a tiny bit of information. It’ll take you less than 5 minutes. So let’s make this happen. Visit the website, make a small donation and send the message to 5 friends. The website will also help you find other ways to get involved around the community.
If you’d like more details, you can listen to our interview with Kathy O’Hara from the United Way. She breaks down the importance of this push and tells us how awesome our local United Way is.
And feel free to download the entire Saturday show. > It was a funny one.
Thanks to everyone, and remember to spread the word about the Give 5 campaign!

According to Omaha.com, the office of Jim Suttle has recently released a new plan for snow removal in Omaha. We at the Weekly Grind want to hear what you think.
1. Sure, hiring private snow removal companies would help with the speed and efficiency of getting snow off the streets, but given the current budget crisis and the forecast for a mild winter, do you think this should happen NOW?
2. The plan also details the removal process. One of the highlights is plowing snow into the middle of the streets, as to leave sidewalks and parking stalls snow-free. This is what Lincoln does…and if you’ve ever driven in downtown Lincoln in the winter, it’s a nightmare. The problem with plowing snow into the middle of the streets is on one-ways, it makes it much, much more difficult to change lanes. What do you think? Does this plan make any sense?
We’d love to hear your comments.
