Rockin' Retro

2008-08-14T15:15:00Z

I'm usually not into contemporary furniture, but I think this rocking, lounge chair is a nice accent piece. The red, faux leather upholstery gives it a retro flair--a nice touch. Plus, the seller is letting it go for only $15!

"Packing Peanuts for Sale"

2008-08-05T22:22:00Z

If we had an "Ad of the Week" feature, this ad would be this week's winner. I love the seller's short, emphatic statements. Plus, the line arrangement reminds me of poetry. Mostly, though, I love the picture posted with the ad! The strange and the practical--we have it all! --Olivia

Who Gets Top Bunk?

2008-07-30T19:50:00Z

I LOVED sleeping on the top bunk when I was a kid, so I've been checking out this trendy hybrid "bunk-ton" for sale by Reinier. A black one exactly like it just sold on Onow.com for $100. The one in the pic comes with an extra bonus though: Both the top twin mattress and the full futon mattress are included in the deal ! Check out the ad for more details. --Olivia

Hey Man...Nice Car!

2008-07-28T21:06:00Z

Wow! I forgot how quickly our autos section is growing until I began browsing the car ads today. People from Omaha and surrounding areas have posted everything from an old-school Jaguar to a 2008 Kia mini-van. Personally, I like this little silver sports car. The only problem is I don't think I know how to drive a 6-speed manual. (As a matter of fact, if anybody knows what a 6-speed manual even is, click "View the blog" below and post a comment!) Sure looks fast, whatever it is. Vroom-Vroom! -- Olivia

On the Road

2008-07-22T19:29:00Z

The trucking industry amazes me: Imagine having the grit and skill to drive a big rig thousands of miles across the country--negotiating narrow interstate lanes and eating and sleeping at truck stops--all to deliver the shipment and get right back on the road again! If you're one of those rare, experienced individuals who does have what it takes, this job ad by Jim Bender, Inc. should interest you. If sitting behind a desk is more your speed, don't worry--Onow.com has Administrative job listings too. Happy job hunting! --Olivia

ODM Gives Hope to Local Homeless

2008-07-18T19:38:00Z

It's easy to think about the homeless when blustery, below-zero temperatures make us wonder: How do people survive without shelter? But agencies that serve the homeless experience sharp decreases in donations and volunteers during the summer. Candace of the the Open Door Mission reminds us that--due to ailments like dehydration and heat exhaustion--summertime is NOT necessarily the "right time" to have to live on the streets. Check the Onow.com Community Events Calendar regularly to find out about community events at the Mission and witness how the dedicated folks there bring hope and relief to homeless men, women, and children every season.

For Sale: Cute Puppies

2008-07-13T11:34:00Z

At first I was disappointed to discover that the ad for three Pavillion puppies I saw the other day was gone--they must have been sold. But then I found this puppy: part Maltese, part Toy
Poodle, part Ihasa Apso--completely adorable. The seller has two females and one male available. Check out the ad in our Dogs section. If big dogs are more your speed, there are some pretty cute Great Dane puppies also advertised on Onow.com.

Jazz and Rock and Funk (and Beer), Oh My!

2008-07-08T20:46:00Z

So...maybe you don't have what it takes to be in a band, but this Friday at the Waiting Room Lounge you can at least be in a band video. July 11 at 9 p.m., Omaha-based jazz-rock-funk fusion band Polydypsia will be performing an all ages show at the Waiting Room AND recording this very special LIVE performance for future DVD production! Not likely to be any bikinis or Moet in this music video; just a multisensory bag of groove and rad visuals and probably some Pabst, if you want it. Click on Poly’s band poster above to find information on this and other music events on Onow.com’s Community Events Calendar. Follow the link in Polydypsia's event listing to the band's Website for a free sample of the “funk goulash” they plan to serve up hot this Friday.
