That "crown" is missing due to the wind event last June. Â Ripped it right off the building.

LB 1166.

FOR AN ACT relating to cities of the metropolitan class; to amend section 14-117, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2006; to provide for the extension of corporate limits into an adjoining county; and to repeal the original section.

Should be an interesting debate.

Macy's has not purchased any local advertising in Omaha. These are ads that are run in every market whether there is a Macy's or not. You see lots of national advertising that does not have a presence in Omaha. Greg I was wondering if you could, just for reference, mention a few other retailers w...

http://www.escapeomaha.com/EO/index.htm It looks like someone in Louisville is trying to play off the fears that Elkhorn's quality of life will be destroyed.

Ah memories. Being the nerd that I am, I was in marching band in high school, and all four years we competed there. In all four years, my high school (Gothenburg for anyone who cares) never got lower than superior on the field. My school has since went through two directors and hasn't been that good...

Obviously they have no clue. It's not like 48th St. Bloods are gonna come into there town and start shooting up the place. Well, they would probably make it to Elkhorn eventually, with or without the annexation. Unless Elkhorn uses some hardcore border enforcement. I'm thinking moats filled with ga...

The 2008 Olympic Trials will be broadcast live on NBC and its cable partner USA Network.

You sure they are...errr...were renting? The sign on their marquee says that the building is now for sale at irssales.gov or something like that. I'm guessing somebody's just trying to be humorous with the sign - I can't imagine the IRS would move that quickly to take possession and sell to settle ...

Water to wade in? What water in the GLM or Heartland of America Park would you want to wade in? Every time I go down there and look at the water, I feel like I will get some sort of strange disease or mutation if I get wet.

If they are looking for any sort of local angle, I would think they'd try to get Maroon 5 I just threw up a little. :x I wasn't exactly enthused about having the idea. All I know is they will have to be creative to get any decent acts that are contemporary for non-boomers. We're out of "big&qu...

KETV has actually been doing this for a while. The interesting thing is that this channel might not be operating within FCC guidelines, because they air no children's programming, and there is a certain requirement for children's programming on any channel that goes over the air.

We should write the Creighton people and ask them to use this building for something significant and not tear it down or use it as a warehouse. Does anyone know to whom we should write? I'm sure Creighton has a plan in mind for the building/land that is worthwhile in the long-term, but in the short...

Hooloovoo

I think a great use of that space would be, at least in part, studio space for the art department. I seem to recall that they are severely lacking in space, and it seems like that the warehouse would be perfect for that.

Granted, anything is better than that space being left empty.

Hooloovoo

If I am reading this correctly, the rumor for this has been shot down. It looks like Creighton bought it.

Does Qwest still sell cable service west of 680? That might be another option for you, but I don't know since I've never lived in a part of town that Qwest offers cable service to. Yes, Qwest still offers cable TV out west in their fiber areas, but they aren't offering any expanded (i.e. digital) c...

My personal experiences have been that the main floor beats anything. I had the front row of the loge level for La Boheme and thought it would be great. It was better than the nosebleed top level I've often been stuck in but I was still looking at the actors bald spots, not really at their faces. A...

I wasn't really sure either when I bought tickets for Movin' Out for my daughter and myself. We are in row K of the Gallery which i know is a long ways up but I am hoping it will be ok.

Thanks for the advice.

Like I said, I had only been to the Orpheum once, and that was even before the renovation, so I am really looking forward to this performance.

I don't know if this is the place to ask, but I'm gonna give it a go. I'm looking at buying some tickets to Joseph at the Orpheum, but I am trying to figure out where would be some good seats.

As much of an event as the CWS has become, I don't think that attendance will take that much of a hit. But on the plus side, there are now 8 teams with out of town fans coming to Omaha instead of 7, so more hotel rooms sold, more restaurants frequented, and more tourists wandering around the Old Mar...

They do plan ahead for future growth when it comes to the road and highways. Although more could be done. Also where should we get the extra money from to improve MAT’s service?

^One thing about roads from the west coast is that the weather is so much nicer. Snow, rain, variable weather temps, salt, ice, etc can really take a toll on roads. That's why most of the roads in the midwest and NE are in worse condition. I do agree w/ Hooloovo, it has to be fair combination of bo...

what I meant was this. Do we end up being like LA, with only freeways...cars...etc or can we end up a bit more like NYC, DC...etc who have a decent transportation system within the city.

I am just glad the Qwest Center came along when it did. It seems like last year was a spectacular year for big-name tours, and the Qwest got most of them. It will be so hard to top the names that have come through Omaha.
