Plus, all your talk about the downtown condo market needing to prove it self is already passe`. It's proving itself as we speak! Numerous condo projects are being developed and for the most part they've had nothing but success with pre-sales. [StreetsofOmaha wrote] I love Omaha, and Downtown Omaha a...

I say no to slot machines in bars, thats a bad idea. And Iowa doesn't have it 1/2 miles away so there is no need for us to have it. However, casinos are another story. We have casinos 7/10 of a mile away from 10th Street in Downtown Omaha. We don't want or need a casino downtown, but for reality's s...

I personally have never taken One Renaissance Center seriously, I knew it would never come to fruition because its an idea way ahead of its time. Most Omahans/Nebraskans are opposed to living in CB and/or Iowa, let alone shelling out a couple hundred thousand dollars to do so, because they view it a...

I was really shocked when I read in the OWH article about the 14 and 16 minute delays between 680 and 132nd street during morning and night rush hours. Thats really impressive that the city could keep traffic moving so quickly during a MAJOR road construction project. When I lived in Denver you coul...

Westroads Development
I read a few months ago on here that Westroads was considering moving its food court to the vacant old Younkers building and luring Cheesecake factory. Today, someone I know who knows a "connected" person at Westroads confirmed that the mall is considering moving the food court to the old ...

Wow, this is very interesting reading these last few posts about some of the history of downtown Omaha Development. I moved to Omaha in August of 1995, and am very familiar with all the development since then, but everything before then is mostly unknown to me. I think the Embassy Suites opened just...

Feature Article on Omaha in Northwest Airlines Magazine.
At Home In Omaha Small-town charm and old-fashioned common sense make Nebraska’s biggest city worthy of a visit. Lewis and Clark’s legendary Corps of Discovery navigated the muddy waters of the mighty Missouri River in 1804 to a spot where one day the city of Omaha, Nebraska, would arise. As they sc...

Why is Northern Development so stagnant?
Growth to the South in Sarpy County seems to be doing good, growth to the east in CB seems to be okay, and of course growth to the west is on fire, how come growth to the North is so stagnant? I have lived in Omaha for almost 9 years now. Evertime I drive down I-680 I wonder why this area is so igno...

I do remember that the name controversy between MLK and Heisman bridge was for the bridge connecting the Qwest Center to Lewis and Clark Landing. And I agree with a previous post that seemed to be hinting that the bridge sucks. I remember reading an OWH column saying something about that bridge winn...

freeway to airport?
I always figured that Highway 370 and Highway 6 would be joined together into a SW freeway from at least Dodge Expressway to Freeway 75 in Bellevue. But I suppose Platteview Road would work just as well and even better if it avoided fights with already established local businesses along 370. On anot...

I think gambling is coming to NE, I think the train has gained too much momentum to be stopped. I think we should focus on controlling it was it arrives. For instance, I am totally opposed to slot machines in bars all over the city, I think some of the proposals have called for that. Since gambling ...

I was fearing the worst, the the pedestrain bridge would be changed to nothing more than an extra long version of the bridge currently connecting Heartland of America Park to Lewis and Clark Landing. So I am hopeful again that a magnificent and beautiful bridge will actually be built. I am keeping m...

I have three topics regarding the original post that I wanted to comment on. First, I like the name Qwest Center Omaha, it sounds cool. At least when spoken the word Qwest/Quest, even if its spelled differently, has some meaning. Fans, performing acts and sport teams come to this center on a quest f...

Heartland of America Park
Heartland of America Park is a fantastic place, I go there often. I have always thougt it would be great to incorporate the river into it more. I think creating a tunnel though would be very very expensive. Any body have any other ideas? Also, when I walked across that bridge on Saturday from Lewis ...

without bridge--riverfront development is just average
I was really troubled with the news of the Pedestrian Bridge--I have no faith that some private investor will step foward. More likely, the bridge will be scaled down significantly from "impressive" to "pretty neat." The bridge was going to be the "crowning jewl" of the...
