Re: Tesla (2421 Mid America Drive)

Personally, I think EV's seem great except for long road trips. Turning 5/10 minute pit stops into half hour recharging stops every 200 miles is an annoyance, especially when you also have to look up a charging station, knowing that might be your only possible charging spot. For shorter trips or ar...

Re: Mall of the Bluffs

During it hay day back in the 90’s it was fairly nice mall. And sometime after the 90’s it started to decline. I know in the winter it was a popular place for people in CB to take a walk around and get some exercise. Like Omaha’s Oak View mall it peaked and died out rather quickly. I left Omaha in ...

Re: Mall of the Bluffs

That really sucks. Being given basically two weeks notice during such a busy season is a really bad move on Menards' part.

Re: River's Edge Development (Playland Park)

Yeah, no idea why it's the location it's in. I wonder if they were trying to mute any noise from concerts at the amphitheater.

Re: West Broadway Corridor Plan

After driving on this numerous times, I can say that I am surprised they decided to use asphalt instead of concrete. With the brick inlay and the concrete in the intersections, I wonder how the asphalt will wear in comparison. Usually asphalt sinks and needs repair more often. I just feel that sinc...

Re: West Broadway Corridor Plan

Does anyone know if the paving is completed for westbound Broadway on the parts they're working on? I ask because I know there's asphalt down but it feels like it's not completely finished. It's very bumpy and it's not even level with the flagstones at the 35th street intersection. If this is the fi...

Building in AMC parking lot?

Anyone know what they're building in what used to be the grassy area of the parking lot of the AMC? No signs that I can see.

New building in front of Manawa Wal-Mart

So there is a small new building going up in the corner of the Wal-Mart parking lot at Lake Manawa, right across the road from Aldi. Anyone know what's going in there?
