It looks like they started on it in the last 2-3 weeks. They are now doing dirt work north of Panda Express. This can't get this built soon enough! I am noticing that Chick-Fil-A is really moving into the Midwest now, they are building a free standing CFA in Cedar Rapids, IA now as well (saw it on...

We all knew it...now it's official. No Thursday night headliner show. From the Red Sky FB page: "We will not hold an evening show on Thursday, July 19th." If last year = epic fail (I really don't mind the expression) then this year has surpassed. What's the over\under on the Red Sky co...

Very big win indeed for Creighton. A lot of college basketball "experts" were saying that if CU lost tonight - they would have been squarely on the bubble, and perhaps off of it as well (out of the tourney). Thankfully the boys came back, and what a shot by Antoine Young! As long as the Ja...

according to the hydrological forecast for the river from NOAA, the river is supposed to drop to 35 feet in the next 5 days. Guess that's a little bit of good news in this flooding situation\mess... but we need to see a much bigger drop than that to take more pressure off these levees. Hoping that ...

Bryan1117

The river hit 36ft this morning at 8 in Omaha. Which means the river hit the top end of the 34-36 foot range the Army COE predicted for this event. For the last week, the river forecast has predicted that the river would stay steady or fall - only for it to rise higher each day. The current forecas...

New TD Ameritrade record crowd tonight of 26,271! The atmosphere tonight during the later innings of the game was the best in several years... that has definitely transferred over from Rosenblatt to the new stadium. I already can't wait until the 2012 College World Series (got a long way to go, LOL...

What the heck, I will post it here too: http://www.bradwilliamsphotography.com/images/PANO_001_SM.jpg As always Brad, beautiful picture. Have to say after spending all day at the "Trade" yesterday, it is so much better than the 'Blatt. I heard a lot of comments (surprise) about how the pa...

Anyone know the best route to KC next week with the closures? http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=I-80+E&daddr=41.2326,-95.527+to:NW+Seven+Bridges+Rd,+Platte+City,+Platte,+Missouri+64079&geocode=FaofdQId6ENI-g%3BFdgodQIdqF9O-inv4H6RnGSThzENQClRtXegtQ%3BFToWWAIdGb1Z-ikd-...

I guess I was under the impression (and swore I heard many, many times), that because of the existing snow-pack in the west/northwest of us, that these river levels would be around through the fall months. I also know that some residents from Hamburg north to Pacific Junction/Plattsmouth have been ...

Bryan1117

More bad news - the levee has given way west of Hamburg, IA (WOWT.com reports the breach is 60 feet wide and rapidly growing, in these situations it won't take long for much of the levee to give way unfortunately)... appears that parts of the town and the stretch of Interstate 29 in that area are in...

I posted my pictures of the deck floating down the river on KETV's uLocal page and got a response from the owner of the cabin where the "floating" deck originated from! The deck came down from near Honey Creek, IA so this had already been in the river for 15-20 miles... wonder how much fur...

Bryan1117

Some pictures from the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge today. Around 2pm, a deck was seen in the swollen Missouri River as it passed the bridge - took a couple pictures of it... was quite a sight to see - and I am sure there will plenty more to see in the coming days, unfortunately. http://s3.postimage...

The flooding will soon be affecting the Interstate Highway system in the northern parts of the Omaha metro. There are reports that as early as tonight perhaps, that Interstate 29 between the 25th Street Exit in Council Bluffs (the northern-most exit on I-29 in C.B.) and the I-29\I-680 North intercha...

Now tied 3-3 into the 7th... CU pitching falling apart somewhat, and the bats have gone very quiet... The Jays need to step it up to play on here!

Nice comeback win by the Jays tonight, got some breaks in the end and that's all it took. Things looked bleak there in the ninth though... nice they pulled it out. Go get 'em again tomorrow boys, show the MVC how the #1 seed gets things done!

Bryan1117

Creighton ties MSU 5-5 in the Top of the 7th through a passed ball after a strikeout!!!... not a big crowd out there tonight - a few thousand it appears, but I just started watching the game... maybe there were more earlier if anyone can verify?

Wow, this could definitely be one of the Top 2 events of the Summer in Omaha - only the College World Series would be bigger (in terms of total attendance). I think they could fit a few more than 18,000 into TD Ameritrade for the headliner concerts as well, with the infield, I am thinking they could...

Bryan1117

That was a pretty nasty severe thunderstorm that rolled across the Omaha metro area tonight... following up an equally nasty day across the city, which featured a high of 96 with dewpoints around 80 degrees. As of 10pm, there are currently 32,500 households without power around the Omaha metro area ...

South Carolina captures the CWS Championship with a 2-0 series sweep, as the Gamecocks notch a 2-1 win in 11 innings at the final game at the Blatt. An exciting way to finish off the last College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium. The total attendance record will not fall of course, with there bein...

Bryan1117

Anyone know if Rosenblatt's organ is going to transplanted at TDA I read an article on omaha.com last year after the CWS that said that the organ will in fact be moved to the new TD Ameritrade Park... the article also mentioned that Lambert Bartak was planning on continuing to play the organ as lon...

Yuck, nothing to see here... what a sub-par season for the Jays and today was no exception. Its been a while since a Creighton team went into March Madness and laid an egg like they did today . At least this dreadful season is most likely over, and Dana Altman can try and figure out how to fix this ...

The intersection of Saddle Creek and Farnam looks like a war zone. I was thinking the same thing today while driving on Military between 72nd and 90th Streets today. A gravel road would have been smoother than the road surface on that stretch right now. I saw one Honda Civic blow out a front tire i...

Bryan1117

Wow those pictures are awesome!!! I am sure the weather will be conducive to more "rivers of mist" over the Missouri on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Especially Friday, its supposed to be sunny with a high of -4, that will create perfect conditions for steam fog over the river, as long as...

My wife and I visited the new Marcus Midtown Crossing Cinema on Friday night and I like everyone else here that has commented on the place, was thoroughly impressed. I am not a big "going to out the movies" kind of guy, and usually prefer just staying home to watch movies on our big screen...

Wow the box score indicates only 8935 were in attendance tonight at the Qwest Center. I went to the match and figured it would have exceeded at least 10,000, Â but I was wrong... but GO BIG RED!!!

Coming back from Des Moines this evening, I couldn't help but notice that some really nice lighting (the "rope lights" mentioned in the Nonpariel article back on page 2) was added to the 24th Street Bridge over I-80 in Council Bluffs, which illuminates the railings of the bridge, making it...

Thats freaking brutal... way too early for this |expletive|!

I got a whopping .10 inches of rain last night from that "deluge" that was predicted by every meteorologist in Omaha. Is it just me, or are those guys doing an especially bad job this year? To add to this, it is amazing that the Omaha area is barely at 50% of average rainfall for the year ...

Bryan1117

At least in the end we all didn't end up on the wrong side of what was actually a pretty funny prank pulled on Nebraska from that website. And yes, out of the four "|expletive|" designs, this was the one I hated the least... at least we don't have to see that dreadful "winning" d...

Bryan1117

Looks like this might not be over yet, finally the state recognizes that maybe the prank started by collegehumor.com, did affect the voting process, and cause our favorite black, white and red plate to win! This is all too funny really, even though the joke is on the whole state and the pieces of ti...

I think it is worth mentioning that the Jays' 15-0 rout of Nebraska tonight, was the WORST LOSS by Nebraska at Haymarket Park. This comes after a 15-1 shellacking by Kansas State this last weekend. This game was a tale of one team moving up (Creighton), while the other one is falling, and very quick...

Well, just as feared the Bluejay team that played the second half against Wichita State Friday night decided to show up again today, as the Bluejays get cut down and blown away by Illinois State 73-49... I would be willing to bet that the NCAA committee will be looking right at a blow-out loss in th...

UNO posts a nice shutout win over Ferris State 3-0, thanks to a nice shutout by UNO goalie Jerad Kaufmann, to take a 1-0 lead in the CCHA Playoffs Best of 3 series tonight.

With the Jays and Mavs winning tonight, not a bad night for the Omaha teams! Go Jays and Mavs tomorrow, let's keep it going!

Bryan1117

Either way Booker Woodfox showed us all why he was the Mo Valley Player of the Year! What a shot, and what a way to save the Bluejays' chances at an MVC Tournament Championship and NCAA bid hopes. The good thing is that this game is over, Creighton got the W, and tomorrow will be a new day. I would ...

This was on the Omaha World Herald website last night... While this is a pretty funny prank, I had to laugh at first, the fact is this is going to cost the city money to fix this prank.

Bryan1117

True, I guess I didn't take into consideration that we had plenty of drinks while we were dining... so that always make everything seem expensive. We didn't even try to get a table at a good restaurant at the Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn or Caesar's... looking at those menus I was thinking $100 per pers...

Bryan1117

Was that Stratosphere shot taken from the restaurant? Yeah you guessed it Big E, that was a great dinner - but a little pricey! Very cool how the whole restaurant revolves... I've never had a dining experience like that. It definitely helped the drinks take effect early if you know what I mean... m...

Yeah I heard about that too while we were down there. Interesting enough this will be build, if it happens, on Harmon Avenue, which is across the street where we stay at in Sin City - the Wyndham Grand Desert resort. There were many buildings that were closed and\or for sale, around this area with s...
