A lighter week for new development news, but there's plenty moving around town. A new credit union branch just opened west of downtown, the ballclub plays out its final homestand of the year, and this week's Council meeting comes paired with a Voter Registration Day at the library as the fall campaign season gets underway. Here's what's new.
I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.
Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
🏗️ Development & Business
GreenState Credit Union has opened its second Nebraska branch, in Papillion. The Iowa-based credit union held a ribbon cutting with the Sarpy Chamber of Commerce on September 1 at its new office, 14915 Crest Road. It's GreenState's 33rd location across Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska. Sarpy Chamber · Branch info & hours
🏛️ Local Politics & Civic News
We still can't independently confirm the outcome of three items from the September 1 Council meeting covered in past issues: the "Schram 84" rezoning near S 84th St and Schram Rd (ORD. 2098), the final vote on the animal care ordinance (ORD. 2095), and the preliminary plat for "Dowd's Business Park" near S 150th St and Shepard St (RES. R26-0165). We ran into access problems with the city's own records this week and couldn't verify results well enough to report them as fact. We'll keep after it and report the outcomes once we can confirm them.
The Council's next regular meeting is Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Papillion City Hall, 122 E. 3rd St. As always, public hearings mean you can speak at the podium on any posted item, written comment goes through the City Clerk ahead of time, and there's a Comments from the Floor period for anything else. City's Agenda Center
That same Tuesday, you can also register to vote at the library. The League of Women Voters of Greater Omaha will be at Sump Memorial Library, 222 N. Jefferson St., from 10 a.m. to noon for Voter Registration Day. The timing matters this year: Mayor David Black isn't seeking re-election after 17 years in office, so Papillion voters will pick a new mayor on the November 3 general election ballot for the first time since he took office. If you've moved, turned 18, or just aren't sure you're registered, this is a low-effort way to check. Sump Library calendar · Sarpy County election info
