Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield

This is a beautiful design. Stunning.
…. The drop off/pick up sitch will still be stupid af- but the design of the new terminal is top-notch.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield

IND it was 65 to hotel downtown on Monday.
Last time I landed at CMH it was 70! But to Dublin.

I guess I would have just paid for the Uber like I do in other cities rather than stand in the cold???

Re: CHI Health Center (Century Link Center) Omaha Remodel

I love the new sign.

14 years, 4 month, 6 days until the other sign comes down. The non-profit Catholic hospital system that paid 23-million to have naming rights is still stunningly insulting and inappropriate.

I call it Qwest Center still and pretend I don’t hear people when they correct me.
