Great point, could feel like being under a magnifying glass on hot days without a vent.

And venting of exhaust gases from the vehicles.

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...

It seemed every other bay was a themed dance club. But its not like all those clubs move, its more like the dance club fad faded and they closed. What ever happened to the plan of converting Miracle Hills golf course into a park with mixed-use commercial district? I take it the golf course changed ...

This evening. Even at just 11 floors it’s already looking pretty impressive. Probably more like 12 or 13 at the top of the yellow. In your photo, floor 9 is just below the walkway, 10 is behind the walkway, 11 is just above the walkway, just blow the yellow, so 12 and possibly 13 are under the yell...

Legislation in Utah has provided financing for upgrading the Delta center to be hockey compliant and also provide funding to overhaul and upgrade a nearby entertainment district. The article I read said they could remodel the delta center or build a new arena. Not sure how you remodel the delta cen...

I guess that takes SLC out as an expansion city competitor. Yes but Phoenix just takes their place for now. Phoenix has been a massive failure, why would they take their place? SLC will suck for a few years until the new hockey arena is built. The Delta Center is not a hockey arena, but they will b...

I'm old enough to remember when 114th was a popular late night area. I seem to remember there being a Lone Star Steakhouse in Miracle Hills Square along with Funny Bone Comedy Club. Am I remembering that correctly? Yep, Where Sand Point is now. It was Julios for a min, before that Lone Star, and be...

Looks like the same helicopter used to put the HAVC on top of the Desert Dome at the zoo too.

I think Jeff mentioned on a recent Grow Omaha that they were looking for another location in that general area.

Padre wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 1:42 pm The Applebees at Oak view has closed.

I just went back and looked at the other thread and this was announced back in November. Seem odd to announce a closing so far in advance of the actual closing. Its not like a retail location that has lots of inventory to liquidate.

Hopefully, they’re taking that ugly |expletive| sign straight to the scrapyard…

I disagree, the shopping center across the street to the east does very well and I'm sure this one will too when the remodeling is finished. It looks way better after the remodel.

Do they have an arena yet?

I saw the Ralston Arena promoting this news so I’m guessing they might be playing there?

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...

They paid 3.7 Million for it.

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 ...

Grow Omaha wrote:Lego will open its first and only Nebraska store late this summer in a 3,500 sq. ft. space next to Vineyard Vines in Nebraska Crossing. The interior is already under construction!

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...

Contractor put out an update video.

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