Westroads, Crossroads, Southroads, Oak View. There was a time when Omaha had 4 shopping malls. Was The Center still an active mall during that time period? Heck, isn't it still crawling along now? It's mostly office space now. I'd consider it an active mall until the time Younker's left - maybe the...

odd. felt like that was about all that strip mall had going for it. I think on the West side it was more office like.

I have only been to Stella's 1-2 times, but I didn't care for it b/c it was overpriced and came out on a napkin. The bun and burger were both stuck to it. Ok. pick any other local bar. Dinkers, Hyde's Slydes. You can get a better burger and support a non-chain restaurant for about the same price.

No way I'd frequent this place. So many better options at similar price points at bars and other restaurants. I'd rather go to Stellas anyway.

Had they torn down Wrigley in the 60's and moved out to the suburbs or to a multi use facility with the Bears, as so many did during that time frame (Philly, St. Louis, Cincy, Pittsburgh), the cultural significance of that facility that mostly hit its stride in the WGN era of the 1980's would never...

And, that could be taken as anecdotal, but the market spoke yesterday and the stadium and associated cost, is proving wildly unpopular. Most just want them to renovate the K. If you can have a 100 year old stadium in Chicago and another in Boston, you can make the K workable for another 50 years ea...

Does something like this give new life to a North KC stadium? Or are the Royals just not gonna move? They have flat out said they will not be playing in Kauffman after 2030. So, expect a ton more saber rattling about them leaving KC entirely. Expect another ballot initiative for KC voters to vote o...

Lansky's Gretna posted this on their Facbook page about an hour ago. Sometime this summer, they are changing names to 5 Thirty-One Pizza and Phillies. Same ownership, management, and staff.

Agreed, this seems like a big win for the plaza. Cake Shop gets a shiny new store (it's currently pretty dirty and rundown, which the owner lady explains) and Ace Hardware, assumedly, get's a bigger spot with better parking. Cake lady should be hyping up the move. "We're going to have the newe...

Almost 55% of my property tax goes to OPS. The school property tax credit brings a big piece of that back at tax time. But, they haven't publicized that well.

While I feel bad that they are getting evicted, it's just business.

I don't necessarily see it being a regional draw in and of itself in a bubble. But, it would probably be more of a regional draw when combined with the other things Omaha has to offer.

Wasn't there some concern that Papillion Commons at 84th & 370 would cannibalize the customers and brands of Shadow Lake Towne Center? Yeah there was. I think that's going to be much more on the residential side of things. Papillion Commons probably wasn't on the radar of the stores that have g...

The rebound of Shadow Lake is almost shocking.

But, my comment about Cletus and Ethel is how it makes people look like hicks with nothing else to do when you get that excited over fast casual food just because it's something new.
