If you visit any of the recommended places below, please be very sure to use restrooms appropriately. Use public restrooms only if absolutely needed, discreetly, and individually. Rule of thumb is to never, never ever, go to a public ladies room in groups, even if you think it is ok to do so. If you must use a public restroom, get in (by yourself), do your thing, wash up, and get out. Please do not linger, loiter or horse around within a restroom. Please help to make a positive impression of the TG community. Thanks. |
This is a non-inclusive list of the recommended (and not-so-recommended) places to go in the Omaha area.
Thanks to all who have recently submitted additions, updates, ratings and comments to this project. Your efforts help keep this listing current and accurate.
Pains have been taken to eliminate out of date and inaccurate information. Updates and additional recommendations are appreciated.
One point of clarification, to eliminate misunderstandings. This is not a list of places where members of the TG community are known to hang out. This is a list of firms that have been known to give good (or bad) service to the members of the TG community. There are no guarantees that you will encounter any members of the TG community at any of these places at any time.
This list is now automatically regenerated when an addition or change is made. Customer ratings and comments are now included. You may add additional ratings and/or comments if you desire. (Comments that imply that illegal products or services, such as drugs, prostitution, etc., are available will not be posted.)
Firms having no customer/user ratings are indicated "(not rated yet)" and those having less than three customer/user ratings are indicated "Ratings Pending" in the listings below.
Stoplights indicate the following:
|
Personal reports that this is t-friendly (or at least t-oblivious) and people have received good service. |
|
Proceed with Caution. People have reported good service, but other factors exist. |
|
It is recommended you take your business elsewhere. |
Please keep in mind that doodoo happens, and nothing is without risk. Venturing out in public, especially in an unfamiliar area, has its own risks, as well as rewards. You have to be willing to accept those risks, as well as reap the rewards. If something bad should happen, please don't blame us, but please pass on the information so others may know.
All firms listed have a physical storefront which is open to the public during their normal business hours.
