Glad to hear that the team look to be getting local support, but what about all the other development that was to be going out there??? Restaurants, stores, etc.... Most important in my opinion is the restaurants, but I guess that will help the Storm Chasers concessions.

[quote="cp jay 07"]Oh boy here come the idiots who think there are giant walls between cities in the Metro and who apparently never cross into those cities to shop and eat.[/quote] You mean there are not giant walls between cities in the Metro??? And if I go downtown I won't get mugged or ...

tommy316

Oh, yes before I get jumped all over- I realize that the Metro already has a in-door water park at I-80 and 72nd (Coco Key's) but I think that Great Wolf has a greater name recognition and would do well in Gretna.

tommy316

I believe the Cordish group owns several brands, and if you look at their other projects ( The Walk at Atlantic City, Baltimore project,etc.,etc.) you'll have a good idea of the stores they'll have; Coach, Nike, Polo.... Agree with Hoops, the SOPO West location will draw more attention from retailer...

[quote="nativeomahan"]Never heard of Freddy's. Is it like Culver's I wonder?[/quote]

Pretty much like Culver's- smaller menu, burgers are about the same. Not bad, not anything special.

tommy316

What's the status on this???

Is there any truth to a Ralston Ice Rink???

[quote="Big E"][quote="Brad"]Alan Stein said on a radio interview last fall they would be the Omaha __________. They might not be the Royals because KC gets a cut of that money but they will still be Omaha. FYI, you can see the First National Tower and the Woodman Tower form 2 o...

[quote="the1wags"][quote="tommy316"] (the1wags) How is Bellevue or Downtown closer to the center of the Metro??? 72nd and Dodge is about as close to the center of the metro- let's tear down Cross Roads and build a park there :) The land may be free in Bellevue and Papillion, but...

tommy316

I wasn't saying those locations were any closer, I just didn't see how Bellevue or Downtown were- as you had said. I was misinformed about the Bellevue and the infrastructure (so all those proposed roads and sewer around the stadium are already there? Most of Southports roads and sewers are there), ...

tommy316

I'm probably gonna get blasted for this, but I don't care.... The Southport location IS THE ONLY LOCATION!!! YES, they announced the three locations but that's just window dressing. The Bellevue location is to satisfy the County Board member from Bellevue, the Papillion location is a joke- if they w...

tommy316

I agree that they are mostly in larger cities, maybe not a great fit for the market- maybe when it becomes a BOOMING metroplis Â :;): , but I still don't consider that area suburban. I guess I think of Shadow Lake and Village Point as suburban. This isn't urban, but it's not really suburban in my op...

tommy316

Have you ever been out by Southport? It's not a strip mall and most suburbs don't have a major interstate that exits out into it. And lets not kid ourselves, this is not a BOOMING metropolis, the difference between urban and suburban around he is not that great and far apart. O! is growing and headi...

tommy316

An ice rink wouldn't be good just for the Lancers, although I would be a season ticket holder (again) if they moved back, but also for area ice time. It's my understanding that there is very little available in the metro (and that includes Fremont's rink). That's why I think a Ice Rink would be a go...

tommy316

All the rumblin' I hear is that they want RETAIL out at Southport instead of a ballpark, now there's supposed to be office buildings going where the ballpark was purposed? How much more frickin' money will that bring in over a ballpark? I know/ feel that Southport would be the ideal spot for the Bal...

tommy316

I have to agree with NEBUGEATER's comment about the burb's. I think that the Royals would be better suited NOT playing in "Fahey's Folly". Personally speaking, I hate having to go Downtown for anything other than special events (even then it's a pain). Concerts at the Qwest are well worth ...

tommy316

I haven't been able to read all 16 pages of the thread, but I don't understand why people would "go a lot less" or "never" to a brand new minor league park to see a team that they would watch at the Blatt- unless they're just not baseball fans period. Besides that, this stadium c...

tommy316

Rumor is that Mayor Blinn will be there for the grand opening - he'll be their first customer when he has a Monarch butterfly tattooed on his arse. LOL, I don't think this was in his economic development plan for downtown Papio.

tommy316

D@MN!!! I was gonna make a comment about all the soccer mom's not having to drive that far for their "mid-life crisis" tattoos- but thought that was too harsh, guess not! LOL!!!

tommy316

I am a little surprised by this one, but I saw that Dr. Jack's Tattoo and Piercing was going into the old Mr. Goodcents/ Curves location in Papillion. On 84th St., directly south of the bridge - across from the park (east side of 84th). Seems like an odd fit for the area, and also being about 200 ya...

I thought there was a previous thread about this place in Rumors:

They'll pull through the first football season- March 2010. But, I hope they have some luck where others have failed. Although, this doesn't sound like another Husker themed place. Yes, it'll pay tribute to the Huskers, but it says in the description that it will pay tribute to ALL teams (that have ...

tommy316

Too bad that Buffalo Wild Wings is headed to Shadow Lake- It would fit nicely in that location.

Billy Frog's would be nice, but Ice House or DJ's Dugout would better.

tommy316

It's a store closing sale- TO MAKE ROOM FOR INVENTORY FROM OTHER STORES- I don't think it's closing, YET!!

tommy316

That would figure!!!! That Papio Target SUX!!!!!!!! I swear that every time they carry something I truly enjoy (Einstein's for example) after about 6 months they dump it or swap it with Archer Farm cr@p. I can still get the products at other Target locations, but for some reason they don't carry it ...

tommy316

I wonder what that means for the Bennigan's that was supposed to go in Papillion's Market Point. Since they haven't broke ground anywhere, I'd say that it probably won't happen- too bad, that area has been lacking some nice sit down places for a LONG time. At least were seeing a little more with Sha...

tommy316

I had heard it had something to do with Ashby's Ice Cream or that the person who owned the rights to BR in the area switched to Ashby's or something!?!?!

Don't know for sure, but that's why I'm asking if anybody else does.

tommy316

Alright, can someone explain to me why we don't have them in Omaha anymore. I know there's a couple in Lincoln (I stop at the one right off I-80 whenever I go by) and there used to be some in Omaha, but what happened- why'd they split? And will they ever come back? Shadow Lake!!!! (please) I was jus...

tommy316

I'm sure that the blue prints of the pool lay out will be published sometime this week (maybe in the La Vista Sun). But the new plan is a little smaller (better in my opinion). The Shallow play area, lap lanes and diving area are all connected now. The lazy river is about half the size and there are...

tommy316

If Omaha wants to do the river front project right- they need to come up to La Crosse, WI and take a look at the downtown area. I'm currently in La Crosse for a couple days and it is amazing!! Beautiful, lots of bars and restaurants! Really a great place. Wonderful river walk along the Mississippi. ...

tommy316

Can't forget Joe Tess's fish sandwich!!!!

When I lived in Arizona, people were like "You eat CARP!!!"

I don't know of any other places that serve carp.

tommy316

How about Runza's?

tommy316

Anyone know what's being built there?

I heard a Walgreens, but don't know for sure.

tommy316

Looks like they're breaking ground on Culver's at 98th and Giles- next to Â the Centris Bank. But, NO BLUE ROOF!!

tommy316

Not anytime soon.

They built too much too soon. Like a lot of places.

tommy316

What about building at Southport? On the west side of Cabela's (on the land between that road behind Cabela's and the interstate). You've got hotels, interstate access, movie theater and SOMEDAY some restaurants and retail. Â I know this idea has been thrown around before, but I think that the Lanc...

tommy316

I've heard from a couple different sources; it's a go, but until there's an official announcement then I wouldn't count on it. Rumor is that it will be a Douglas theater, but that's too close to Twin Creek- so I just can't believe it yet. There was to be a Douglas theater at Cabela's area and then c...

"Looks like another casualty of the saturated dining market." This was not a case of over saturation of the dining market. It was in a bad location with poor access. The menu was pricey for average food. There is not nearly enough eateries in the Papillion/ La Vista area. Just fast food, b...
