I wonder how many people out there are have been actually named John Galt.

  Good question!
  
  We do know that they would have to be younger than 57, though!

I get some stuff from Omaha Steaks every now and then. I noticed their address a number of years ago and was tempted to reach out to an official of the company, but thought better of it when I realized that the company may have had nothing to do with the address or that the person I might talk to was actually a nit-wit. Anyhow, the food was good.

  I'm pretty big on Omaha, and spotted the
  address some time ago, but ignored the
  temptation to check it out. And yes Herb, the
  food is good!!

    I'm especially fond of the rib steaks and the bacon wrapped filets. On the Barbie with our special seasoning, mm-mm good!

      If you are from the South, you need to try Omaha's country fried steak (sometimes called chicken fried steak), with some McCormick country gravy mix.
      
      Comfort food at its finest!

        Done that. Loved it. However, the wife eschews fried foods. Too bad. More for me.

    Wife and I subscribed to Omaha for quite some time before discovering that the best grades of beef available locally tasted better.
    Now that we're in NC, even Harris Teeter has better filet mignons from Angus grass-fed beef and many friends rave about the taste and quality of Costco's rig-eyes... Heck, until a year or so ago, I found that Chile's rib-eyes tasted better than most of what the high-end restaurants around Raleigh offered! And we've got a boat-load of good restaurants around here! (sorry... accidental mixed-metaphor...)

  Unfortunately, the above historical link doesn't have any clue just how the street got the John Galt name. The street naming would had to have happened sometime after 1957, to have any chance of being connected to AS.
  
  You would think that there would be some records about this...!

    I choose to believe that the owner of O.S. is a big fan of A.S. and also A.R. If I'm wrong...who cares?

      Be nice to see more street names changed to honor Rand and her writings.

Surely there must be a historical character named John Galt. A city naming a street after Rand's John Galt? Hard to believe.

Nice, but hardly justification to buy horribly overpriced meat.

  I always negotiate over the phone, which is why I never noticed the street address.
  
  The bison filets are better than any beef I have ever eaten...! My local store only carries ground bison on occasion.
