Yea, I'm sorry to say this, but you couldn't have picked a worst time weather wise. Hopefully you can check out the holiday lights at the lahey mall and all around downtown Omaha. Just remember what Jeff said, Omaha looks a million times better in the spring.

I'd be against a Borders at VP. All it is currently is a bunch of weird stores not really found in shopping malls. It needs shopping which it really lacks currently. As far as resteraunts goes, they need to stop adding them there, at this rate, it could end up as just a bunch of resteraunts.

The thing about having a Cheesecake Factory is if we get one here, its not like I'm going to eat there more than once a year. So the way I see it, I'm perfectly fine with eating at one once a year in another city.

Well also you have to figure in the cost of the project. It would add a huge chunck to the project cost. Also, I don't thing the bridge can be build high enough to go over 120 becasue the expressway ends around 124, so that wouldn't a very good idea to keep that.

Why don't they just keep it green all year round? There are lots of buildings in bigger cities that have colored lights all year round. I think green would be a great fit as well (as seen last Christmas).
