I'm amazed that Urban Outfitters is still hanging in there.

Without question, the best model railroading I've seen offered by any mall.

A couple weeks ago... their portly meteorologist inadvertently referred to 'the valley'.

Stargazer

Yeah, don't get me wrong... I love the old photos. It's the whining old people, who moved away and have very little understanding of what Omaha is all about, today... intent on the idea that it is not and will never be, as good as it 'was'. Personally, I think one will have an even more difficult ti...

Stargazer

yeah, I would love it if they removed the lettering... much cleaner look.

Is this not the most depressing collection of people on the internet? It's like an army of Grandpaa's all reuniting from retirement communities from around the country to reminisce and share how horrible they think Omaha has become.

Sioux Falls has a Macy's... be happy we have Von Maur. It's a fine store and with retailers trying to jockey to figure out the online market, I don't expect to see another department store like Macy's enter the Omaha market... EVER. Many more closings ahead, nationwide. The brick/mortar retail store...

Not entirely different from the regular season games as of late... a 'sell out', but if you noticed, there were a LOT of empty seats. Unfortunately, I think a lot of season ticket holders bought up the maximum allotment and then just didn't manage to unload them all. No doubt, there were still obvio...

Stargazer

I'll put it this way... I'd much rather see Dillards make a move to Westroads, than close up shop in Omaha, entirely. It's a good store, a much better store than Younkers is/was in either location. Everyone's whined about wanting a Macys in Omaha, when we should be extolling our fortune in having a ...

I'm fairly certain, Zzaxys will be out of business, soon after the rise of West West Farm based BlobThunk, a subsidiary of HomeInstead, with it's ground breaking capabilities, bringing any and all mind requisitioned goods to the consumer, edible and otherwise, by way of their bathroom based and 100%...

Seems somewhat counter intuitive, placing regional headquarters, for the region your corporate headquarters is in, in another city other than your corporate headquarters. And, oh buy the way, we also need two additional 120,000 square foot buildings in KC as well. Beginning of the end in Omaha? Inte...

Can we finally acknowledge that Erstad needs to go. At some point, even rampant injuries can be attributed to poor coaching.

Stargazer

I'd like to see Dillard's occupy that spot, rather than vacate the market entirely. Let's face it... the way retail is going, there will be no new department store coming to Omaha (unless there's some kind of new TJ Maxx/Burlington superstore in the works). One of the most popular topics of discussi...

Oakview has been floundering for years, economy has had little to do with it. It's in a horrible location for access, with West Center cut off at Industrial, and quite frankly, the neighborhood immediately around it (which includes light industrial) is not of the greatest economic demographic compar...

Stargazer

Dillard's is a nice store... it would be a shame if they didn't at least re-locate to Westroads.

It would seem we have a female sports anchor in Omaha. Brianna Mellon, WOWT weekends. I can't remember the last time we had a female sports anchor, or even a female sports reporter for that matter? Someone remind me.

I generally look for properties for future lease with at least 100,000 sf of space available. This will get you the bigger 'build to suit' stuff... albeit often pie in the sky. 11010 Blondo http://images4.loopnet.com/i2/vJtkHLzfkRAWNUCS2f9g6wj0vpbPsbXc1_RJx3-rZTs/112/image.jpg 2951 Farnam http://ima...

That's our grandpaa.

Probably a 'top 10' topic of discontent on this and prior forums... this and the 'airfield'.

Hey, hey... I guess we've arrived. If only Aaron Detter were here to share in revelling.

The real 'What If', is what if there were no recession in the 1890's. Omaha was hit harder than any other midwestern city, losing nearly 1/3rd of it's population (which at the start of the decade was slightly larger even than Kansas City and growing every bit as fast (140,000 vs 132,000... by 1900 i...

Personally, I like it... I do draw the line at 'Edward Scissorhands'.

Happened across new sculpture in traffic circle.

Was thinking about that as well yesterday... wish I still had the rendering I'd come up with. Folks bit on that one pretty hard.

Voice too whiny for broadcast news.

I was thinking we could use a Halloween super store in this part of town.

Stargazer

Could end up being a 2-block Gavilon. But yeah, hurray for more jobs downtown.

Stargazer

Never noticed this Metro video until now.

Stargazer

Okay, is A&F struggling nationwide? Otherwise, is it not a bit disconcerting that a major tenant like that is pulling out of the area's highest traffic retail center?

Stargazer

Seems like an 'Uptown' should be west of Midtown though. What's wrong with Park East?

Unless they figure out some way to limit voting on it, to those in the vicinity of the line itself, as was done in KC... it will never come to fruition. Ask every voter in the city of Omaha to approve it... it fails.

Boom. Deliver this Sean Connolly, and you've redeemed yourself somewhat.

Three Des Moines based establishments, it would seem. J Gilbert's looks pretty good.

These bonds have allowed some developers to get rich at the expense of the workers in society who never really benefit from the development. Either the projects are for poor people and the workers don't qualify because they have more than three digits of net assets. Or, they are for the hipsters wh...

Capitol District has already consumed one surface lot. It's hard to compare Haymarket (more like Old Market) to this area surrounding a CenturyLink complex with arose from a rail yard. It really isn't a bad evolution. Establish your anchor convention center/arena, served by surface lots. As the surr...

Of course by definition, we were already an 'international' airport. I do like the idea of being Eppley International -Airfield- though.

I wonder how many people are going to find their way back there, looked pretty empty when I drove by earlier.

The property on which the former Westroads club was located (where these businesses you refer to can be found) would not be included. No existing businesses are going to be subject to this tax. Again, object to the tax, don't patronize the business. It really is that simple. By the way, be sure to a...
