After driving in Doha/Qatar, they have got to have the top 10 worst driving in the world. Â I've driven in Tokyo, south America, Korea, and most of the country, but nothing has ever compared to Doha. I'd put Tirana, Albania on the list of top 10 worst. Â No traffic laws... Merely traffic suggestions...

I was actually trying to ask a serious question.

What kind of dining establishment do you think would do well in this location if McFoster's doesn't make it?

I had the Pat O show MC and entertain for my daughter's reception. We had GREAT fun. He and his band are used frequently with my wife's families extended family receptions. They are very personable and encourage audience participation. Not to be considered formal entertainment. More "get d...

Remember the flooding of the Mississippi River this spring? Â The Corp. probably wasn't too keen on the idea of increasing the flow of the Missouri into the Mississippi. Â Had their crystal ball been working they would have known there would be record rainfalls in Montana in May. Â Oh well, we have ...

The northern part of Lot D at Qwest is starting to fill up with water coming up through the storm sewer.

I enjoyed both lunch and dinner at Saigon Surface yesterday. Â It was great. Â The Ipads are actually going to be available for each table. Â You will be able to put your own order together with the help of pictures etc. Â You then can summon your wait staff to your table. Â The wait staff will revi...

My understanding is that Mutual of Omaha purchased the restaurant. They then turned around and hired a professional management company to operate the restaurant. My source is an employee of Loft 610. I'm surprised this is not already generally known as I was told some time ago. I was told the cu...

I just saw John McCain in a restaurant in D.C. last week. Â He looked to be in great health.

The crowd was fantastic, but far from capacity.

I talked to Lance of “O” Saturday. Â He confirmed that he is taking over the former “Downtown Zio’s” location. Â It will in fact be a bar which will be serving authentic Mexican cuisine. Â The food will be ordered and picked up at the bar (no table service). Â He did not mention anything about food ...

They have the fountain and fountain lights going right now. Â Pretty cool.

Actually the fiber wave has been on for about a week now. Â I'm not sure that it is all functioning properly yet.

Ben Wrote: Does anyone know when they'll be removing the temporary working bridge that's on the IA side (the flat, close to the water one that the cranes drive on)? Â I'd assume they'd want it and the barges/tug boat out of the way for the official lighting ceremony. I was told that the construction...

Dicon has been selected as the contractor.

I'm at Riverfront Place. Â We went out on the deck Friday night to watch the show from Harrah's and last night from Rosenblatt. Â Both shows were fantastic. Â We were amazed at the amount of private (amateur) fireworks we saw on the horizon. Â There were fireworks going off for over an hour before a...

There's one in Sioux Falls, SD. Â That might be the closest.

Coyote, Do you know in which category Omaha was ranked to be number 3? Â According to past rankings Kiplinger's had categories of: Â Young singles, Mid-level professionals, Married with kids, Empty nesters & Retirees. Â Based on the cities in past rankings, I'm guessing Omaha ranks 3rd in the mi...

The final (center-middle) piece of concrete decking is in the process of being installed right now.

Things are moving along with this remodeling, however, obviously they didn't make their projected November 1 opening. Â I just stopped by to see how things were going and Lance is hoping to be open before Thanksgiving.

The first 12 floors are 10 feet each; 9 ft 4 in from floor to ceiling plus 8 in of concrete ceiling/floor. Â The penthouse has 10 ft 4 in from floor to ceiling plus the 8 in roof. Â That's 131 feet plus the "mohawk" on top which I believe is about 20 ft makes the total 150 ft +. The new to...

Even so, what with that empty parking lot directly east of the convention center, which they could easily expand into, I think they're making a mountain out of a molehill. I don't believe there is a parking lot east of the convention center. Â The area east of the convention center and arena is the...

I was wondering the same thing the other day. Â I walked by and saw that there's a sign from Dial Realty about up to 7,000 sq. ft. of retail space available, or will build to suit. Â After asking around this is what I think is going on: Â I think the Realtor's sign has to do with the first floor ret...

I believe the grassy (dirt) area just east of Lot D and west of the tracks is owned and/or controlled by Gallup. Â At least that's what I was told. Â This area has been used during winter for dumping snow from the parking lots.

There's a Hot Dog stand on the corner of 10th and Farnam. Â 100% Beef Franks. Â Try em with the coney sauce. Â They're great.

I stopped by yesterday to grab dinner and saw that they are under renovation. Â They are now serving from a limited menu in the Hotel lobby area.

There's some activity on the site again today. Â Dirt is being moved around. Â Maybe there's another crane in the near future?

Wow, Brad, you're quick. Â I posted that response in the House of Lee thread and before I could find the O Casual Dining thread you had already re-posted my response.

Thanks for the clarification and good luck on the project!! Â From what I've seen the jLofts are going to be a great addition to downtown/the old market.

Has anyone else heard anything about problems between jLofts and their neighbor across the alley, J P Cooke Co.? Â What I have heard and confirmed is that there is a conflict. Â What I have also heard but am not sure of is that the conflict involves a law suit and that the project is at a stand stil...

Ironically Cubby's is almost the identical same size as the 1416 Howard St. building even the same dimensions. Â However, the Cubby's building is 2 stories, therefore 17,424 sq. ft. Â The second floor of Cubby's is apartments.

According to the Douglas County Treasurer's Office the actual square footage of 1416 Howard St is 8,712. And the parking lot on the corner of 15th and Howard IS part of the parcel. Â Although I'm pretty confident of the information that I DO have, the amount of info I have is limited.

RFO

I believe there will be an announcement soon about an Independent Grocer moving in to 1416 Howard Street, across from the police station. Â I assume the parking lot on the corner of 15th and Howard adjacent to the building is a part of the deal. Â The building looks to be around 7500 sq. ft. in size...

Downtown condo living will fit the profile of the new Google employees of Council Bluffs. Â The timing could be ideal for resale in a couple years.

The dirt that is being brought in is the "bed" or base of the bridge as it curves around before it goes airborne. Â The new plans have a staircase from the west, or Riverfront Drive so you can climb the stairs onto the bridge as opposed to walking around the curve and up the ramp. Â At lea...
