Re: Lincoln Convention Center
Thanks for posting that. The best location would be on the canopy site or post office by the arena (highly doubt this could be pulled off). However, this Gold’s proposal looks so good I hope that it gets chosen and brings some momentum back to the O street area.

Re: Miracle Hills Park (NW Corner 114 & Dodge)
I wonder how many restaurants have been in and out of Miracle Hills Park? I can think of Stokes, Taj, Boston Market, HuHot, Cilantro's, Hong Kong Cafe, DJ's Dugout (wasn't there a dueling piano bar inside DJ's?)... Yes, and before DJ's it was called "The Scorecard". There was also a subwa...

Not saying that it won't do well, but I don't think Great Wolf will be happy about it. For sure. Interesting timing that this gets announced pretty soon after Bellevue's. Are indoor waterparks the next car washes? I feel like indoor recreation has seen a revival even in Omaha. Now this is a trend I...

Re: Lincoln: NCAA Basketball Tournament Bid

Re: Downtown Development Update from City Hall on 3/14/24
Still pretty impressive that they will add over 700 units. And the city is building a parking garage on the west side of the block and NuStyle will build apts on top of that. They said a 500-ish parking garage. On that small space, plus that 150 apartments, it should be in the 8-10 range based on t...
