Re: Wolfson Cars Lot on Saddle Creek & Hamilton
I went to the neighborhood meeting for this development last night. Developer was patient in answering questions, and Pete Festerson was there to champion the city's/taxpayers' involvement. My biggest takeaway was the permanent closure of the stretch of Saddle Creek from NW Radial to Hamilton. That ...

Re: Official - Downtown Master Plan
I moved to Omaha for a job in 2006, not knowing anyone. I was 25. I used Roommates Dot Com to find a place to live; I ended up in a house off 108th & Fort for $500/month - my own room and bathroom; I made $29,000.00 ($14/hr) at the time. Stranger-as-roommate situation was fine. I then moved to a...

Re: Former Duds 'n Suds (4002 Dodge)
I hate to say it, but this is pretty much a perfect site for a 5,6,7,8 story apartment project. You hate to say it, but Dodge west of 36th and east of 52nd is littered with sites like this. In any case, I’d like to see Church’s Chicken re-enter the Omaha market. .and I think that original spot woul...

I hear they are closing permanently on 12/1/2020. Probably doesn't help that they just opened a Starbucks a block away. Actually, I heard that Starbucks has closed too.
