There has been a tornado warned storm east of Columbus for quite a while now. However in the past hour, a whole line of storms has fired south of that storm all the way to the Kansas Border. Also an isolated cell popping up on the south side of Lincoln. LOL, and just like the the lines breaks up so...

I thought you got to parking in the parking garage at work?

I got the same, and was also hoping for at least an inch. But also thankful we didn't get the hail...

I used to use that ramp all the time on my way from 80 East to Pacific Street. For at least 10 years they have had “Temporary” barrels blocking anyone from using that small stretch of pavement. I could resort to an earthy colloquialism to indicate that the State Department of Transportation should,...

Speaking of "kinks". I was a little concerned over where that was heading... I've always wondered what the heck the story is around the Center I80 off and on ramps. Why is this little thing there and never used? https://i.postimg.cc/S2tPr1qz/Untitled2.png It was used when it first opened,...

it takes a slight turn about 10 or 20 degrees right. Its only 2.7 Degrees to the right. Well, I just never saw the need for it. The terrain there certainly isn't unstable. Its not about the stability of the terrane, its about the maintainability. Don't want the tractor mowing the grass rolling down...

It this where I think it is, some where that you and I have been to before? Yes, by the house with the St Bernard. Is this right off I-80? There a couple big barn situations full of cars like this along it. Its probably 2 miles south and 2 miles east of the nearest I80 exit. There's an old falling ...

Really cool old cars on a farm in Central Nebraska. All taken from the public road. There's a lot more to photograph in there if someone had permission to enter the property. https://twitter.com/bradwphoto/status/1779336349797040448 https://twitter.com/bradwphoto/status/1779336419237843143 202403228...

You know how just after entering Douglas County and Omaha, I-80 veers north up towards L Street? Well, just as it descends toward Q, it takes a slight turn about 10 or 20 degrees right. Before it was widened in the late 90's, that section used to be straight. Why they added that little turn I don't...

The slight risk has shifted further north and we are in the middle of it.

I wonder, does the ground-to-first-ceiling count as one garage level, or does the garage really start on the first slab above ground and ground-level be office space or whatever, or why is the first level so high? Completely wild guesses, but I'm guessing loading docks and trash service will need s...

Thanks!

I realize that not every single pizzeria in the metro can be featured, but it’s unfortunate that Pizza King and Pitch were not included in the competition. They might not have won out but they are solid pizza places. Pitch was the 2 seed in Region Two, Pizza King was the 3 seed in Region 3. He's ta...

A Beer Channel that Omaha Cowboy and I both follow did a nice Eclipse Video:

I forget that place is even down there. Usually only take F street along there when trying to photograph a train on the tracks behind it.

Quite a bit different than the Pizza Bracket Sarah Baker Hansen did back in 2021 https://sarahbakerhansen.com/pizza/ Completely different final 4. Also the Winner of Sarah's (Mangia) lost in the 3rd round in this bracket and the winner of this bracket lost in the second round in Sarah's. Also never ...

Looks like RS Holdings (same address as Megasaver's corporate offices) purchased the property a long time ago, 12/28/2018.

Unfortunately when that area was platted 30-40 years ago, the didn't leave any connections to the new neighborhood and the only way out is on to Fort Street. That said, I can't imagine a senior living community adding that much traffic during peak rush hour periods... Looks like a decent infill proj...

Very nice. Cool to see the solar flares. I caught some back in 2017 and I was totally not expecting that.

Back to the earlier discussion about the trees, there is still a line of trees along the back property line between this development and the sub station. Looks like they are on the sub station side of the property line.

Nice! Glad you were able to see it.

Quick shot from the patio at work in Omaha.

An arcade is opening in the old Nobbies building Fall 2024. Tom Kelley's Bowling Pro Shop is moving here. (Their commercials are very good). Yeah, I thought the old Nobbies was going to turn into some type of "adult" putt putt place... with beer, etc. Is it no longer the case and simply t...

I agree,. We have had several fires the last two years and there is plenty more left.

Tom Kelley's Bowling Pro Shop is moving here. (Their commercials are very good). Interesting, says 12100 W Center Road, Suite 901, which puts it in that building immediately north of the Arcade. Also interesting that I still haven't seen a name for the arcade. It was announced back in September.

Brad I am no photographer but Vincent Bluff in CB looks like a great place for some downton shots. Yeah, it’s a nice place, been up there many times. It’s nice because it doesn’t have all the activities going in the parking lot like fairmount park does… It is quite far though, you really need a cle...

Still a decent line of showers moving our way, but all the warnings have gone away.

I saw three of them this evening, all on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. The Biggest was east of the zoo, next was east of Eppley, and the third and smallest was just north of the Bob Kerry Bridge. The one North of the Bob Kerry bridge might be the same fire that was going on a few days ago too.
