Re: Southport (126th - Giles - I80)
Forgive me if that has been posted elsewhere, but the World-Herald had a story online about 2 additional hotels coming to Southport, to be constructed starting later in 2023 and completed in 2025 on a 7 acre parcel of land owned currently by PayPal, on the north side of Giles Rd.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Ugh, that's disheartening to hear that SW is pulling stunts like that which only hurt Omahans. It's no different than Red Way cheerfully backing up the truck when LNK was waving bux, and rolling up their red carpet when the money dried up. Just a difference in degrees.

The best way to do this is support Allegiant and stop flying Southwest whenever possible. I avoid both Southwest and Delta because of how they stifle competition. I've never flown LUV in my life and see no reason to start. DL has moved on from me and my travel budget, and I was a fanboi for years. ...
