I work in the FNB Plaza building and there have been rumors for quite awhile as the strip mall began losing tenant en masse. As Cowboy noted, rumors have swirled with regards to redevelopment. There was an article in the paper a month or so ago regarding Kohlls having legal actions brought against i...

This little area has really taken off. My wife and I lived in Hanigan Square about ten years ago and to see the whole stretch from the car wash and Leavenworth St to this building and the one to the South of OKeefe really makes we wish we didn't "need" *cough*kids*cough* a yard. But yeah, ...

I heard from a friend that works at HDR they DO NOT want retail in the building...they don't want to mess around with being a landlord

Isn't HDR going to be technically a leasee?

Here's an article from a few weeks ago. Good examples of well designed BRT stations. Looking at these vs. the MAXX down in KC it's like night and day. I made my first impression of BRT off the system in KC but if they funded anything remotely like these stations I think it would go along way in figh...

While not as clear as Collin's picture (didn't notice the bar in the way). Â But here's a view from the 6th level suite North of the Press Box. Â I can say this is going to be massive! Â I can only image how those outdoor seat patrons are going to feel up there. Â From the Westside even with the abi...

Speaking of Leo's, they must have the best eggs benedict in town which to my dismay isn't all that challenging.

Lest we recall a 22 year old was shot less than three blocks from this location awaiting a bus not more than a week ago. . . At 11:30 in the morning. Â Granted, gang violence here in Omaha is 99% of the time a targeted crime, but the store will certainly serve a purpose for the community. To gloss o...

Thanks Brad, the previous owner's (a recalled mayor's son), did a great job of keeping the house fairly up to date, especially for having six kids grow up in it. We looked at a house in Fieldclub, however the only one in our range didn't have a driveway or off street parking. Kind of Â a deal killer...

Well it looks as if the fate has been sealed for the golf course. Â After living in a loft at 14th & Jones for a few years, we bought a house a block south of Holy Name. Â Me personally, I'm excited that I'll have a frolf course in the area, hopefully. But, I also see the benefits of urban golf ...

Well, I'm officially in my new office. Â And, as it turns out I might have the best view of some of the development yet. Â My windows over look the Zone 5 construction and BCBS. Â Here's a couple quick pics. Â Excuse the boxes in the view and poor quality as I took this from a year old G1 cell phone...

I just bought the Aspire 1one 10.1 from NFM last weekend. Â So far it's what I expected. Â Don't let the no optical drive scare you, you can pretty easily set up drive sharing on your existing machine. Â A few of the things to make it easier was the over 5 hour battery life. Â to make reading on the...

Well how things change in a day. Â I've lived in Hanighan Square on 14th and Jones just behind Macaroni APartments and yesterday they took down the construction elevator and so I'm guessing that moves are still on schedule for May.

mchine73

My girlfriend works for Wells in their mortgage division and they've been working on the building since September 07 and were suppose to move back in July 08. Â Now they're shooting for February. Â It's a complete gutting with everyone moving to the Farm Credit Building except for the true consumer ...

A nice story about Lambert Bartak the organist for the CWS Most major league teams do not employ organists anymore. Even the Omaha Royals, Rosenblatt’s primary tenants, stopped using Bartak a few seasons ago. It is possible that none of the players on the eight teams that made this year’s College Wo...

Wow! I'm impressed, should definitely be a great addition to the area.

I was just showing quickly that real take home pay is greater in Omaha due to the decreased cost of living even taking into account the increased state tax rate.

mchine73

Me persnally, I don't see any different challenges than faced by the Qwest Center regarding the Super Fund Site. Â What's the cap now? Â 12 foot? If it is, I personally believe that may be the deal breaker for the Daub challenge. Â The Swanson Site, do we really need to discuss this? Â I, personally...

Yeah I'm a geek, I'll try and be there. Â As Lizard said, Dinos are big so any ticket should be of quality.

Just a few things. parking-as previously mentioned through the thread, parking is and will be a pain in future taking the public's investment in a vacuum. Â That however isn't the case. Â The best example I have is getting to the qwest. Â Does it take an hour to get to and enter a lot? (true questio...

mchine73

While Straight Shooters does have problems, we should remember that it's the only bar open Mondays on Farnam. Â Plus they have free pool. Â Thursday's are a whole different story, lest we forget the free pool?

TO me it has less to do with the concern for traffic but rather pedestrian traffic and specifically the continuation of the public space.

mchine73

While I appreciate the irony, I would hope they wouldn't close 12th street. Â The powers at be would looking at another Double Tree type situation completely closing off Cuming St. from the rest of NDT.

mchine73

Well it's well on it's way

mchine73

what if they're doing the demo just to keep the sale out of the public records and thus once an announcement is made construction can start right away limiting the time between announcement and completion?

mchine73

As a VERY recent Creighton grad (as of about 8 hours ago), I will say this game is great for the state. Â If the 'Skers can continue to bring in top 20 teams to the Qwest then I'll be thrilled. Â Two strong programs helps both teams. Â As the old saying goes high tide raises all ships. Â This of cou...

Good call back Coyote, Other than the Music Hall and other than regular tenants what has been at the Civic the last year. Â heck, even the mega church Christmas extravaganza has moved to the Qwest. While the long term viability may be questioned, the city continues to spend money(the new press lot),...

What do you think the chances are that the city/county put there money where there mouth is and bring some jobs to areas like 24th and Lake or 30th and Ames? Â To me this makes sense for a number of reasons: 1)investments in struggling areas to bring a little sense of community security 2)bring peop...

I know this will probably jinx it, but what a mature and informative thread this has turned into. Kumbaya, y'all. completely agree; almost scary. The question now becomes were do you keep you dollars; east or west of 72nd :;): With the roth you also have to consider, in addition to increased tax r...

mchine73

Stargazer brings up a point on the roth IRA vs. traditional IRA. Â When considering there is definitely a give and take. Â Use a roth with tax taken on withdraw and you have a larger amount to receive interest on which can be sizable. Â But, the big thing when considering what IRA to use is taxes ar...

Two things I've been doing for my grandma(I have no money, just finishing up a degree in Econ/Finance, set to graduate in Dec) since around February is divesting her stock market holding in financials into indexed bonds and various forex(mainly peso, pounds, and euros) I personally expect this slump...

Don't "get involved" much with this site, but I'm down.

Don't forget the money multiplier effect on $38m. Â That 38m roughly turns into 340m single dollars spent with a multiplier effect of 165(at a 10% a savings rate). Â Of course this assumes the initial 38m stays local. Â In that case lets assume half or 19m is immediately exported to superpose Joe's ...

It's in the Creightonian today. Basically north of the stadium. will house 2,500 seat gym for women's volleyball and basketball, offices, and locker rooms for the soccer stadium. so I would guess Creighton maybe hosting a few NCAA soccer games in the future.
