Re: 1416 Dodge - Lanoha Highrise

When potential buyers are looking at houses vs condos, you get a lot more value out of a house, a $300K house in Omaha is A LOT of house especially compared to other big cities. There is just so many more advantages to spend...

Re: Parker's Smokehouse Replacing McKenna's!

Parker's was started by a former Famous Dave's manager and hence the menu is almost an exact replica of Famous Dave's (even down to the 'sauce tours' they give new customers.) I'll take the original over the knock off any day. That might be, but their food is better than Famous Daves, you don't hav...

Bottom line, no point in trying to justify using eminent domain to thwart a honest businessman's attempt at urban renewal and redevoloping a neighborhood for a slab of parking. There is plenty of other property in the area to utilize, heck there is 15 acres of land for sale across Saddle Creek.
