Hey Chris,? ?
To keep your driving directions simpler, you can exit off of I-80 directly onto Q Street and just head west out to 180th street.? You'll be exiting I-80 at about the equivalent of 116th Street, so it's about 5.5 miles west of there to Sam & Louie's.
Now, here's the tricky part.......
To be able to exit I-80 onto Q Street, you have to be in one of the right two lanes after you pass the 84th Street exit.? The junction of I-80 and I-480 has one exit, those right two lanes, that allow traffic to exit for Center Street, I Street, L Street and Q Street all from the one same main exit.? This isn't a real obvious fact as you approach this junction; although there is signage, most newcomers aren't expecting it because you're still over a mile away from Q street at this location.
? Miss this one and you can't get off of I-80 as you cruise right past Q Street.? But don't worry, it's about a mile and a half from 84th Street to the I-80 / I-480 / Center-I-L-Q Streets split, so you should have plenty of time to get into one of those right two lanes.?
Once in those lanes, just hang to the left as you exit, it will basically parallel I-80 but you'll see the exits for these streets.? Q will be the last one and it's a trumpet-style of exit, albeit one without any of the other ramps that make up a normal trumpet-style exit.? Turn left onto Q at the traffic light.
In any event, you can certainly follow the instructions previously posted should you miss this one, it's just a bit longer drive.? Omaha is laid out pretty much on a grid, numbered streets run North-South and named streets (such as Q) go East-West, so in any event you should be able to find it easy enough.
See ya tomorrow!? ?
