Top Dogs was the name of the park I was thinking about. I don't know why we always called it funworld. I had a lot of good childhood memories their, but had no idea where it was located.

This is somewhat off subject, but does anyone remember a waterpark in the Omaha area named Funworld? I remember going there as a kid, but I cannot seem to find anything about where it was or what happened to it. Perhaps it had a different name.

If the 22 floor masonic manor is 320 feet, isn't likely that this building will be taller?

I think the addition to the old headquarters looks terrible. As for the original part of the building, I would be sad to see it go. If only there is a efficient way to get rid of the addition while preserving the rest. Also, Until I found this website, I had no idea that we had lost so many beatiful...

You are already making me drool. If this amusement park truly comes to pass, it will definately bring Omaha out of its doldrums. I know many people who have traveled to Des Moines just for the reason of going to Adventureland. Also, think of the many coaster enthusiasts out there that will travel th...

I don't know how long ago this was, but I thought he had redesigned it since that picture and took off the ugly legs at the bottom.

One place that I really enjoyed that I went to years back was la esmaralda which is somewhere around 30th and Q. It is authentic Mexican, but I don't think many Americans go there because of its unusual menu items. If you go, just make sure what you know what your ordering because i don't remember t...

I like the design of the buildings as well, but I do not think that they look well placed right next to the creek. If they were in more of an urban setting, I think they would look much better.

I agree with you all. I think it would be a huge mistake to put a casino near the qwest center. Personally, I don't think expanded gambling is going to do any good for Nebraska. More casinos=more competition among casinos=more advertising=more gamblers (at least thats how I see it) However, if they ...
