Re: Hy-Vee
As I have mentioned before, I don't go to Hyvee anymore, wonder if this is a good thing for them. They just seem to get their hands into too many things as once.

Re: Kiewit Luminarium (Riverfront Science Museum)
Looking at some of the articles from the OWH on this and it is amazing how much better that area looks now. Whoever had the idea to have the playground right next to the museum is genius. It really has helped to activate that area so much more. It used to be that you would see a few runners or biker...

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion
What really facinates me is how much care they put into replacing the Farnam and Harney bridges. Each bridge will probably be a 5-10 million investment and is needed to handle the weight of a streetcar. I would love to see wider pedestrian sidewalks and some kind of protected bike lane so bikers fe...

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)
It has been a great pace! I think it'll slow down a little as it gets taller though. I mean, just the physical action of transporting workers and materials from the base to the tip will be a longer period of time. I was thinking it might be the exact opposite. At least for the building as a whole. ...

More than one of the comments stated that it should be moved back to Omaha. This is how I feel with the CWS. Sure, they could move it to a major league park, but it wouldn't have the same feel.
