By the way, its still completely illegal to fly a drone in downtown Omaha. I know people do it, but they are breaking the law.

Yep.

Brad wrote:What was the view like from up there?

It was pretty nice. To the west there's a steep drop and a gentler one to the south, so you don't see Westroads or Dodge at all.

Here's a panorama from I think West to Northeast, where you can see the land below:

Yep. Tear it down, Peitzmeier!

The other thread ( http://www.eomahaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17166 ) says same use. I don't see any permits filed for new construction. The old front gate is gone so I took a look. House still standing. I guess there was a lot of asbestos to remove. Many of the windows have been removed,...

New Dundee Bank branch in Blackstone District will seek to preserve details of former McFoster's site The Architectural Offices will lead the renovation. Dundee Bank plans to open in mid-2016.

I wish they would put a temporary side walk in the street. Even in the most pedestrian oriented parts of Omaha we don't provide the basics. Is there a detour? They could be violating some ADA rules. The other side of the street I suppose? I guess that Omaha doesn't have an ordinance to mandate cons...

Has the owner requested any construction permits for the site? I imagine this would be pretty valuable land for apartments, and since they've completed demo, I would have to assume that means the insurance claim has been wrapped up. No plans seem to be filed yet, you can bookmark this link to look ...

This is apparently starting to move forward again

WRK-15-00132 Permits BUILDING - DEMOLITION (Documents Required) for 4605 FARNAM ST, OMAHA NE 68132 has been changed to Issued on 08/19/2015.

Thanks!

The thing I love about the last picture of Metz's place is how they've torn down the house but the stone is still standing.
That's a real stone building.

I wasn't expressing an opinion really. I prefer half-acre+ lots :-) A mansion like that needs more like an acre and that ain't happening. I think it sold for $170. The issue was that a later bidder wanted to pay more to save it and the guy who paid $170 wanted over $300 to not tear it down. Again, ...

Those are great Jobbers Canyon pics!

I found this thread looking for the Metz Mansion though, they got their demo permit and it looks like they're overcoming resistance from the city council.

Here's what they're knocking down...

Thanks, and it looks like demo has started.

I don't know if this has been put somewhere else, and move/delete it if it has. The Billy Frogg's near 87th and W Dodge Rd has closed and the building has been bought by Nebraska Methodist College, or so I've heard from several students and faculty. Couldn't imagine what they'd want to do with it, ...

With Taken and his drone joining our forum and great photographers like Brad contributing for the welfare of our readers; if you have a request for a photo to be posted on this forum, please leave a comment in this thread, and hopefully someone can post one in the given thread.

Countryside Village has changed management a couple of times in the last few years. Now that Lerner has it I hope it will improve faster. I like Lerner's annual market summary if you're interested in retail - http://lernerco.com/post/retail_market_summary/files/2014_Retail%20Market%20Summary_10th%20...

I can't find that address. Is it this one? http://douglascone.wgxtreme.com/?d=1&parcelid=1841310010 Was checking out the Northstar Foundation when I ran straight into a fairly large project that I hadn't heard anything about. It's apparently a renovation of an existing apartment building that w...

Yeah the angle is deceptive. Here's a map with boundaries... http://i.imgur.com/NTnu7U6.png http://i.imgur.com/MuRNhrH.jpg This picture is a little misleading on the size. There is a couple strip malls on the west side facing the Westroads you just can't see them because of the trees. This location ...

Glad you guys like the post. Yeah Slosburg owns 3.5 acres on the NW corner and I hope the assessor revalues it... Wow, thanks for posting....I had no idea there was that much land there. I always drove by on Dodge and wondered what was there. All I could find was info on Slosburg.com regarding the l...

Rosemary Daly's house and 12 acres sold last month for $7M. Transfer statement says intended for same use, which would be surprising since it's right next to Westroads. http://i.imgur.com/MuRNhrH.jpg I decided to take a couple of pictures in case it gets flattened. I guess this might be considered o...

Very nice. Nice shots with the drone. Every Year I keep saying "This is the last year I am doing aerial photos" because of all the drones out there. But I did it again a couple weeks ago. Here are two Photos I got on 6/19/2015 1. http://www.bradwilliamsphotography.com/images/SC8A2937.jpg 2...

Glad to participate.

It's a strict 400 foot limit, decreasing to 0 feet around sensitive areas. The good news (IMO) is that with the Phantom 3 those rules are enforced by the drone itself. The P3 Pro does 4K video, the P3 Advanced only 1080p. Gotta stay away from traffic and people of course, so I haven't gotten a chanc...

Yes, a P3 Pro. Any requests?

Here's another angle from 7/4/15, looking East.

Thanks, it was yesterday, 7/3/15. Here it is a little tighter...
