This is omaha's flag. It's the same as our nation's flag as well: http://www.trbimg.com/img-52362ebc/turbine/chi-nebraska-northwestern-notre-dame-polls-013-001/600/600x369.jpg Husker Nation, that is http://i.imgur.com/dbKvPus.gif http://i.imgur.com/dbKvPus.gif http://i.imgur.com/GIbt94N.gif

Do we really not have a Tommy Hilfiger store here? Its everywhere, but here... even in places like South Dakota. That's not a good thing Is TH that big of a brand to be called major? Isn't it French? :P Seriously though, I'm not a fashionista and all, but TH? Yes, its the 12th most popular brand o...

In this state it definitely is. As edsas said, a lot of people who read the article probably though of a different zach wiegart and not the one who played on the huskers. I'm going to guess there aren't too many Zach Wiegerts out in the world, let alone Nebraska. Every Husker fan knew exactly who i...

koberaptor

Correct, not when it comes to city development. Including that information in the report isn't about whether his athletic career relates to city development. WOWT correctly surmised that many readers in Omaha would instantly wonder if Zach Wiegert the developer and Zach Wiegert the former Husker ar...

koberaptor

Typical WOWT work... A. Get the name of the company wrong B. Connect it to the Huskers Mayor Jean Stothert announced the develop partnership with DETRAD Development. The project is being headed by former Husker football player Zach Wiegert. Playing football at Nebraska is a big deal. On top of th...

since we are averaging 26k per game do you think we should start expaning TD ameritrade?

looks like a nice view. dont think ive ever seen anyone take a picture from there (Pacific St in the middle of 11th st and 13th st)

i have a good idea: put a large blanket over it. such as the ones used for pools

Thanks for all the Lincoln shots, very appreciated. Also it looks like Omaha and Lincoln are going to share the ugly power lines on the skyline problem. dont think omaha has any power lines in its skyline http://www.creighton.edu/fileadmin/user/ministry/campusministry/images/omahaskyline.jpg http:...

wow OWH released an uglier version

Just to kind of add to this the recent Forbes magazine has the World's 2000 largest companies (market value) and Omaha is represented very well. 1. Bershire Hathaway - 15 2. Union Pacific - 288 3. ConAgra Foods - 354 4. Ameritrade - 1099 5. Westcorp - 1465 Now the odd thing is that Mutual of Omaha,...

to anyone that lives around the millard area I find it funny how millard citizens, who are die-hard conservatives, will be the first in line to vote for a tax increasing bond (which i have no problem with) but complain about Suttle's taxes which helped Omaha get out of debt. Lots of folks here wante...

Uh, we're not talking about GDP's. But just a little tid-bit for ya, most of those metropolises you mentioned, were built in an era when the KKK was ran by democrats. Just giving you an idea of what an antiquated metric you are using. Not to mention, completely unrelated to a city's current fiscal ...

Is it just me or does this building just scream too busy?? I enjoy the newer modern architecture but this building seems like they just threw as many elements of modern architecture at it as they could fit and called it good. I could be wrong but architects these days seem to just whip these things...

On http://maps.google.com most of omaha's pictures were taken in 2008, 2009.... anyone wanna update them? Also if you zoom in far enough with 45° view off, the pictures are pretty recent. I think they were updated around the same time as Google Earth. I've seen them. It's pretty cool. They only h...

is there a time that this will be completed? im guessing by fall?

how about save all the millions we are spending on arenas and use the money for a skyscraper

Not a huge upgrade on the seating, only 14,970.... might be the smallest arena in the country

This is such an awesome development, I am glad it's continuing to progress in a quick and timely manner. Deep down I really wish Village Pointe would have been the same, along with Shadow Lake Something Something. Seems like the trend for development has always been in west omaha. Glad the trend is...

How about berkshire hathaway or kiewit? Have they thought of relocating and building a tower downtown?

That greenspace behind memorial stadium is really needed! Would be perfect for an ESPN college gameday, unlike inside the stadium

Would you guys prefer if we had light gray tiles for sidewalks: http://goo.gl/maps/6Y6OK as opposed to the brick ones we currently use:
