30 feels like a lot of parking stalls for a bank branch. But what do I know. Financial services require 1 space per 300 square feet, so its about double the minimum city requirement. I have never worked with Bank of America, but some but national companies have their own requirements that exceed lo...

Also, Macadoodles will be opening soon at 72 and Grover.

There would be 30 parking stalls to serve the bank as w...

This was mentioned on Grow Omaha a while back, but a new restaurant is under construction at 2502 S 130th Ave where Stoysich was located. The Stoysich building was removed last fall and the shell of the new building is up. Project Description: Parcel ID (PIN) - 1907782522 Hot Pot 88 Restaurant New 4...

I liked Beertopia, but when the Casual Pint opened 7 blocks from my house, I just never really went back to Beertopia.

The latest update just came out and the 10% / Hatched area area has been extended a little further west

Oh, that's sad. I really don't get there much anymore but its sad to see a local store close.

Guess I better use my gift card ASAP!

They were talking about CU's new ballpark on 1620 the other day, basically talking like it was a done deal.

my worry is straight line winds and hail. Is this gonna be more of a rain maker and thunder (aside from tornado risk) or will we have possible large hail There will definitely be the potential for damaging wind and large/very large hail - especially with any supercells that develop. I was noticing ...

Blair Executive Airport (2785 State Highway 133)

Noticed a lot of work going on at the north end of the Blair Airport. Apparently they are extending the runway an additional 1300' for a total length of 5500'

However, they are receiving incentives that under "normal" circumstances other developers wouldn't receive. For example if someone wants to redevelop some farm land along 220th & Dodge they likely would never qualify for TIF, correct? Or, Village Pointe, etc? I do understand no one is...

Just a reminder how TIF Actually works.... No Money is ever handed out. The city is not writing checks to deveopers. Also, if the developer doesn't do anything, they don't get any of the TIF Benefit. In Omaha, TIF is developer-financed. This means that the project owner/developer secures the funding...

Also, here is a video that you can watch that should help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztrDMo6f0Ls I have watched a lot of skew-t videos over the years and this one is still the best out there. Also, for those of you that liked his video, that was only part 1 of a 17 video series. That said, as...

No, I meant are Rod and Johanna set on "Knight Owls" and "Prairie Green Arena"? Who really knows but those two? My speculation is that they are not set on anything if it is tied to the right $$$$, as would be the case for almost anyone. Here is a website they have setup with the...

If you missed Grow Omaha this morning, we announced that the arena will be called “Prairie Green Arena“. It is not a naming rights name, it’s a nod to the carbon neutral plan for the arena.. “Prairie Green Arena”? Are the arena and team name set in stone? Any info Brad? I haven't heard anything on ...

The city should cut a check to buy the land back. Buy it back? Unlike other "failed" projects in downtown, this project has never been owned by the city, its always been in private hands. The city is not a developer. The City owns the Civic site because they owned the arena that was on th...

You can see the timbers through the window, around the entrance, and inside the main lobby. Its technically a "Hybrid mass timber building" so there are not a ton of timbers in there.

My favorite view as of the current state of Omaha's skyline. Is the view coming from i29N, turning onto i480W. It's the perfect view, that has most buildings lined up in stature with FNBO at the center. I swear this is probably the most challenging angle to take pictures of It would be easy with a ...

I still think that yellow hides 2 floors, so 12 & 13.

So fun to watch. They are flying.

That has to be quite the slope. Starting at 0 at the corner on 10th, has to be at least 20 feet over the railroad tracks, and at least another 16 over riverfront drive. I think it looks good, but should make for an impressive climb. Where the Baby Bob starts at Fahey, the Elevation is 985' Where th...

I do miss the Taj.

It wasn't as big of a deal when 77 was built. Now with all the money spent on the new Highway 2, its way more important to have that section of 77 built up to freeway standards.

I started working at Grisanti's around 2002 or 2003 and then my real job has been in the Old Mill/Miracle Hills area since 2006. From my current desk, I can see about 2/3rds of the elevated expressway. Working in that area for 21-22 years now, I believe I have been to every restaurant and most of th...

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.
