I feel like this whole area went downhill once the Dodge Expressway was built. I remember this area used to be one of the hottest places to go dancing. It seemed every other bay was a themed dance club. I agree the East side of the area has always been the stronger side. Yes....I remember Clancy's,...

Well, that would sure save me some trips down to KC. As an aside, what is an "air balancer"? Yes, I was curious as to what an "air balancer" as as well. I believe I've heard of air balancers in my industrial job (they help hold tools and other items at a set height for operators...

Hopefully, they’re taking that ugly |expletive| sign straight to the scrapyard…
Probably going to update it to NEON

Property Is owned by H+H So I assume the car wash will be their "Shine Shop" Any idea on which brand they’d put there? I miss the days when L St had all the dealerships (just a figure of speech). Being able to shop along one road on the same day made things so convenient. Although this wi...

FYI just stopped at NEX as I had to drive to Lincoln to pickup my daughter… bay has their signage/posters back up.

Still any doubters? Guess you’ll have to wait until the doors open.

There was NOTHING on the LEGO site previously and NOTING achnoleged or stated by Nebr Crossing at the earlier point when the window dressing went up, likely in error. EVERYTHING at that point was rumored only But to quote a great poster that has already stated, to each their own. Is there something...

Haha - quite frankly I was a little shocked that what Rod Yates told me ended up being true. He's very optimistic so it wouldn't have surprised me that he had simply entertained them at some time and made an assumption that meant they'd open eventually. I mean, I still wouldn't hold my breathe. Whe...

They paid 3.7 Million for it.

Lots of cashflow for Meth Saver, I mean Mega Saver... burner phones are also a big profit center.

Heard something quite interesting and exciting about a LEGO store in Omaha - that's from a very reliable source. 😁 Not sure if it's intended for public knowledge at this point in time but let's just say I think there will be many pleased people in the Omaha area later this year! Would an assumption...

People in Omaha need to grow some balls. It’s a |expletive| gas station not a methadone clinic. That area needed a convince store for a while now. I’d go there at least once a week. “Oh no people are going to be buying vapes and delta 8 next door?!? My Christian neighborhood is ruined!” Then the da...

djc311

This should be a mixed use-dense development here to strengthen the area, not a gas station. Complete opposite direction! When has a Mega Saver ever brought value to a neighborhood? Can the planning board block the approval? Sorry....too close to the BRT line! Agreed - putting Mega Saver there is g...

To clarify, this is going in the location that had the widow covering on it before. When it was a rumor it was referenced as next to Tecovas. This announcement says next to Vinyard Vines. These two are on either side of the open bay that had the window covering in the photo I am surprised that if i...

This will definitely be popular and another good get for Nebraska Crossing. KC just got a another LEGO store in their new airport/terminal. Kind of caught me off guard.

Need access to a quick stop to pickup a burner phone - what else? Then you can meet up at the library to, you know, handle business (such as reading books).

djc311

I would say “there goes the neighborhood” but the neighborhood has never been particularly nice. I had hopes that with the new central library going in on the SW corner things might be changing for the better. So much for that hope. Speaking of that neighborhood, here’s a thought. Maybe those giant...

Heard this joke this morning:

His casket will be carried in a white Bronco at 25 MPH down the freeway with 100 police cars following it.

That's amazing - too bad he gets "celebrity" status. He was a terrible human being.

Should be one of the more expensive areas of the city to acquire real estate. They aren't putting a Mega Saver across the street from Village Pointe (another expensive area).

Since it needs to be built will they construct a car wash they never intend to open and use it for storage?

djc311

I wonder what this really means. For the sake of keeping costs down, I cannot see them doing any more than is required to be compliant with what is needed. Nice marketing statement at best. “We’re taking it a lot further than what other teams normally do,” Rampage owner Trevor Burdett said I'm surp...

Perhaps Trev can hire him at A&M? Explain that reasoning. Trev is the one that fired him It was meant to be sarcasm... I wouldn't hire Frost if he was the last coach available. Also, I do feel it's ironic as both have a history with the program yet they're now both gone. Just meant it as a joke...

Maybe a combo water park and car wash would be the ticket? Would you recycle the car wash water to the waterpark or the waterpark water to the car wash? ;) I think the post-car wash water would be cleaner than the bathed-in waterpark water. So cars get washed first. Otherwise the pee water may dama...

Was the Aladdin's in the same spot where Gizmo's was? Or were they in different bays?

If I remember right, you had to go outside to get to Aladdin's.

Miss the days of arcades - there are some super cool "Man Caves" I see on FB on some pages I follow.
