Re: 1200 Landmark Center Turning to Condos
Hello, fellow forumers. Heard from a reliable source that the landmark building is looking to remove the current tenants, except Farnam Hotel, and build condos on the remaining floors. I believe Farnam Hotel occupies around 5-6 floors, but I could be wrong. And the remaining 10 or so will be conver...

Re: The Crossroads (72 & Dodge)
Why would the city need to be involved then?
If it’s a doable venture, the current developer should be able to sell it to a different one.
If it’s a dud, I don’t want my tax dollars being spent to bail out the current developer just to have a hole in the ground that the city is stuck with.

Re: I-80 signs on the iowa side
Kansas City does the same. They have signs for i29 N for St Joseph and only after you pass St Joseph, are there signs for Council Bluffs as if Omaha was hidden. In this example, it is. Because I-29 doesn’t go through Omaha, Council Bluffs will be the listed city. The signs should be in reference to...

Re: Oak View Mall (144 & West Center Rd)
Westroads, Crossroads, Southroads, Oak View. There was a time when Omaha had 4 shopping malls. Was The Center still an active mall during that time period? Heck, isn't it still crawling along now? It's mostly office space now. I'd consider it an active mall until the time Younker's left - maybe the...

Re: I-80 As It Enters Omaha
Well, I just never saw the need for it. The terrain there certainly isn't unstable. And I don't think I-80 would be less safe if that "kink" wasn't there. No offense, but I will take the word of the guy associated with this kind of work who can cite regulatory requirements, over feelings….

They tried to make Mexican/Tex-Mex a little upscale and nobody around here is much into that. A similar thing happens with Chinese cuisine.
