EAR Airport and Inclement Weather

Hey gang, My family and I are scheduled to fly in to EAR tomorrow via Denver (to visit family down in Harlan County). Does the airport deal with snow and ice well or do they just cancel flights at the first sign of it? Just trying to figure out if I'm going to need to plan on taking Amtrak from DEN to Holdrege....

Thanks.

Internet providers

Right now I have spectrum, which is good service but I went from like $45 a month to now $75 a month.

I was wondering who here has experience with frontier and how you like their service, which is my only other option for Internet right now.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Missing boxer Dog From Country Club Lane and 35th

My childhood dog is missing.

Mosely is almost 13 years old. She has a brown and white coat with lots of grey hair. She has tumors on her body and other medical issues. She has had many surgeries and is nearing the end of her life. She has declined lately and has become confused and disoriented. We love her and need to locate her as soon as possible. Please message me if you have seen her or know where she is at. We are very worried and don’t want her life to end this way. Thank you!

A neighbor said they saw an older couple (white), in a mid-size sedan, trying to take a dog on Saturday from their front yard - the dog belonged to the person next door to that neighbor. The very next night my dog went missing.

If anyone hears or sees anything, please DM me or contact KPD.

Questions about Kearney

Sorry for the text wall but I am moving to Kearney in a few weeks and had some questions. Feel free to throw any additional information out here too!

Early 30s couple with a toddler for background.

  1. Mechanic recommendation. Honest work being rated higher than prices.

  2. Internet options/quality. Residential high speed (100Mbps+) anyone to stay away from if consistent speed and uptime are priority?

  3. Best local (non chain) restaurants. Sit down places that aren't Applebee's.

  4. Favorite bar for a mixed drink that isn't super popular with students if possible because UNK faculty job.

  5. Any good hidden or less advertised local deals? (milk Mondays, coupon double Tuesday, cheap movie night)

  6. Things to do with kids on the cheap. Basically anything we can do as a family for under $20.

  7. Does Kearney have fluoride in the water? Moving from a place that doesn't and all the kids end up getting put on a fluoride multivitamin.

  8. Antenna reception. We get most of our content from Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix subscriptions but have had an antenna for the past 7 years and are wondering approximately how many channels we can expect.

  9. Best cell phone provider. Have ATT currently and had issues with service on this last trip to town.

Nebraska Roots Migration Survey - hoping to reach as many Nebraskans as possible!

Hey all! I was told Reddit would be a great place to share a survey I'm conducting for school. I shared the survey yesterday in the Nebraska group and I hope it has the same success here. I'm hoping to reach as many Nebraskans as possible and would appreciate any help I can get. Please consider taking the survey yourselves and sharing it with family and friends. The purpose of the Nebraska Roots Migration Survey research is to better understand the factors that influence Nebraskans to stay, leave, or move back to Nebraska. This survey is for anyone over the age of 19 who was a resident of Nebraska when they attended high school. Thanks everyone! https://survey.uvm.edu/index.php/291667?lang=en

Competitive swimming groups in Kearney, NE

I will be attending UNK next semester and I swam 3 years in High School. I won't be swimming at the college level but I want to continue my swimming career and compete in meets. I know that there isn't Masters swimming in Kearney, but are there any other kind of competitive swim groups there?

Heavy Metal Scene???

Is there any kind of metal scene in Kearney and surrounding areas? Anything from old school thrash metal to technical death metal and progressive metal. I just moved here from down south and music in general is a love of mine. I'm looking to network with amateur musicians, unsigned bands and even small touring bands and venue owners. Below is a representation of what I'm into at the moment.

Has anyone ever been to the store 'Game On'? Did you like it?

I used to work at Donna's Book Nook and I wondered what the Kearney people thought of this store vs. Donna's or a Game Stop.
