There was a time when OPD had a bay in Crossroads mall. It's a bad sign when you need one. If Westroads needs one I think it will be the beginning of the end for them. At the very least the start of a tough stretch.

Oh my gosh. Have I not stated a ZILLION times, GoWest, that it is a great building, but it just is NOT appropriate in Omaha?? (How is that so hard to understand, since even Chicago & New York dont even sport an Asian-looking skyscraper? San Francisco has the first, and it works there since it i...

If they ruin Omaha's skyline w/ some funky, hulking, flashy "Lotus Flower" high rise that is straight out of Bangkok, I won't think well of that family, or their nursery again -- and I grew up loving their nursery, and thinking well of them. If the skyline changes for the worse, I'm sure ...

RHCP would be great, they were excellent on their last tour when I saw them at the Civic.

GoWest

hmm.. I wonder if they'll make the parking lot less of a quagmire while they're at it? :D THAT would qualify as a Major announcement. That said - Any improvements are welcomed, of course. I definitely agree with Novak (although, in a less condescending tone)... but cripes, there's nothing wrong wit...

GoWest

Maybe they are announcing that they have Xbox 360's in stock!

It's an easy call to make when the defender has committed to hitting before the ball arrives, as was the case the other night. Well the Michigan player committed to returning the punt before the ball arrived also, so I don't think the defender was out of line to commit to hitting the ruturner befor...

GoWest

I wish TV announcers would brush up on the rules of the games they're broadcasting, it's pathetic to hear sometimes how wrong they are on rules. Well they claimed to have gotten a rulebook and read directly from it. I think it should have been a no call from what they read. In fact the refs didn't ...

It seems like everyone is missing the fact that America First wants to build a custom design building with an undetermined number of floors. To me that means a real design won’t come out until they have their major tenant and their input. It could end up being a great building. I doubt that this is ...

GoWest

I agree with your numbers Cowboy. I read your first post wrong. I thought you meant the same percentage of Hispanics live in Omaha as Blacks vs. the rest of the state. I think your numbers are solid.

GoWest

Cowboy, I’d agree with you on where the majority of the states black population is, but I disagree with you that the same high majority of the Hispanic population lives in Omaha. Cities that are considered large by Nebraska standards like Columbus, Norfolk, Grand Island and Scottsbluff/Gering have v...

You don’t need to wait until the 29th; you can watch the US Open series. Roddick got waxed last night but Agassi is playing great right now.

I can't help you with the baseball though.

GoWest

OMG! I am a huge fan of tennis and I would love to have had this in Omaha. Way to go Lincoln. I hope to see some kind of professional level tennis in Omaha some day.

I think the Nebraska in NFM is fine. It’s already too big of a brand name to change now. NFM has a great business model and is backed by a lot of money and they will be successful in whatever they decide. I’m not surprised but a little disappointed that we keep trying to take Nebraska out of everyth...

I actually wrote the following: "this building would become the number 1 target for terrorists." I didn't say that the US would be the number 1 target, I know we already are. The reason that we are is because Americans are arrogant assholes who think that we can do everything better than ...

GoWest

I object, at 35 in most polls I’m usually counted in the 25 – 35 range. I feel old in the 35 – 50 range.

GoWest

I think that Omaha would gain more. If it were a combined metro, I think that most of the new things that we would get would be built in the Omaha area. It would make sense population wise. I agree that I don’t think this will fool anyone. Imagine if you were a developer that wanted to put something...

My wife works in Lincoln and really likes the drive for personal time. She did say she would much rather take a train though. Although I wouldn’t like the drive, some people really seem to enjoy it.

GoWest

Haven't we learned from 911 not to put up any more targets for the terrorists. If we (United States) have the tallest building in the world, this building would become the number 1 target for terrorists. Are you suggesting we build shorter buildings because of terrorists? That sounds like a victory...

GoWest

If your receiver is running toward the edge of the field then the defender would be on higher ground to. I can see where it would cause over throws as well. I can see the argument for it. The crown was very noticeable before.

Yeah, I had to laugh. A couple of years ago my 14 year old daughter thought he was new. I think he would draw big from all ages. I have never thought of Bon Jovi as has been.

GoWest

You're right, it's no big deal. I don't care what other people think. I'm just tired of seeing wagons everywhere! I just want to see something different. How about a stagecoach or something.

GoWest

I’ve had my fill of wagons too. I just don’t get it.

So is slavery, but you don't see people rushing toward that concept.

How can you put the concept of this extended stay hotel in the same company as slavery is beyond me.

I’m a fairly strong supporter of Mav Hockey and I don’t want to see them move back to the Civic. I wouldn’t mind if the Knights used the Qwest center as well, but I don’t want the Mavs moving back. I think if they string together a few good seasons they will have amazing attendance.

GoWest

More proof that in the world of sports, the product and your marketing of it is more important than the stadium/arena, especially when you compare the Jays situation to the UNO Mavs, who share the Qwest Center. I agree that UNO could do a better job marketing, but Creighton has continuously improve...

Drastic Plastic is awesome. My friends and I used to drive an hour and a half to go there and to the Homers in Old Market before I moved here.

GoWest

I’ve never heard of the restaurant before. I’ve been to several of the Caniglia restaurants and have enjoyed all of them. This sounds like a big loss for Omaha.

GoWest

Another possible name I was thinking of is to combine a street name with the geographic features of the area. Since it is at the bottom of the hill, something like "Webster Valley"...what do you guys think? I think you’re trying to hard. With all of the contrived names that are being thro...

Look under Omaha in the locations tab. You will find the contact information and hours.

They just did a nice piece on this conversion on KETV tonight. The before and after shots of what they have done so far look incredible. I think this will be a great asset to downtown and this neighborhood.

GoWest

That's a great photo of it. I think it looks fantastic.

GoWest

I hope to never seen another downtown campus again. I’m not a big fan of the Conagra thingy.

GoWest

Oh no. This sounds like the beginning of the renaming of the airport debate again. Or was that thread on the old chamber site.

GoWest

Those are great sketches Wags! Now get to work and make them a reality. I have drawn up several plans for fun too. Though I think yours are better, and more detailed.

GoWest

Pictures don’t prove ANYTHING. If one wants to see the difference, the only way they can judge this is by experiencing both downtowns themselves. Again Omaha is my city, but I am a realist. Look at the competing photos above. In the Omaha photos there are very few shops or stores that a pedestrian w...

GoWest

If I heard right, watching the CWS coverage on ESPN, the games with the highest attendance were the ones that involved Texas.

GoWest

Obviously some may disagree with you. It’s not that big if a deal. Some of you act like it’s a personal attack on you if we think another city has something better going on than Omaha. I love your photos, but they prove nothing. I could show you a picture of NYC with less people than you see in your...

GoWest

No offense taken. And Lincoln still ahs more street activity. :lol: I agree with Finn. Downtown Lincoln has always appeared more active to me. I don't even think it's even close. There are so many more shops and things to do in DTL. I'm sure it wasn't always that way. Just look at some pictures of ...
