Not seeing how there is much room for residential use in that building, it's not all that big. Nevermind no windows above the first floor. Looks like a potential knockdown candidate, to be honest.  Not sure what's behind the facade. For this  :lol: http://www.omahaevolution.com/Development/Images/l...

Some of the comments on that article are brutal. I'm afraid that even if the study does support streetcars, the outcry against them will be 10 times greater than the new baseball stadium. People who don't approve will always be louder.  And the more foreign the issue the louder they will get. That...

And the pole so far is encouraging too.  But why must this study take so long? Because the possible project is likely to cost over 1 billion dollars. There is a lot to study as well.  Everything from how it would affect traffic patterns to the current and future housing market in the area. This on...
