This project is most definitely flying stealth at this time.

There must be a reason.

I don't know what it is.

If I remember correctly, the population of Kansas City, Missouri, proper, is not that much larger than Omaha, Nebraska, proper.

Omababe

what i don't understand is how this can go on? Â My guess is that the current Powers That Be are "spiking" their profits while they can. One thing that's not that well publicized is that they are buying all kinds of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve while the price is at an all-tim...

Yesterday on the way in prices were $3.50-ish all over.

On the way home they were consistently $3.69 all over.

That much increase in just a few hours!

Something is going on.

That's what I call steak. Poor people food. It's so common and I don't see what the hype is all about. It's yummy! That's what it's all about. :) I do admit that there are bad steaks, and a bad steak is just not worth the calories. The so-called steak on the buffet at Golden Corral is a good exampl...

I would like to get across the Brooklyn Bridge too. What is there to do/see once you get to Brooklyn? Well, the obvious thing I mentioned is walk along the waterfront by Brooklyn Heights. If you're into urban stuff, the Transit Museum at Court and Schermerhorn is a must-do. Then get some Real Food ...

For photo ops, here are a few. I've never been up in the Empire State building (I'm from NYC and never been there, haven't been to the Statue Of Liberty either) but when we were young we used to go to the top of what was then the RCA Building (Rockefeller Center). Back then there was no formality, n...

Malls and casino's are private property. Â You can't shoot from inside those facilities without permission, The USA Today article claims otherwise. I think that you and the attorney are correct, however. A mall, for example, is open to the public. So are most office buildings (at least the lobbies)...

Omababe

In the meantime, I found this nifty USA today article that outlines photographers rights. This contradicts what an attorney (off the clock, so not really legal advice) told me. This was specifically regarding casinos and shopping malls in Nevada. He said it was not illegal, per se, to shoot in a ca...

Count me in also - provided I am not scheduled for something else. When is this happening? I've never been part of a "Photo Protest" before. :) In all fairness to FNB, I've taken countless photos of the FNB tower over the years, both day and night, and never been confronted. However, here...

I really hope this turns into a serious people-mover transit project along the lines of MSP and San Jose, as opposed to just a novelty type retro carnival ride type thing, as seems to be what happened in Fort Collins. Same goes for Grace University on 10th St. I kind of forgot about Grace. (How many...

If they don't play DT then I dont' think they will play anywhere in Omaha. Yes, but they can sure use Council Bluffs and LaVista as leverage when negotiating a deal. It's kind of ridiculous to build two stadiums (stadia?) to replace Rosenblatt. I'm sure there will be a meeting of the minds, more li...

Omababe

Had it crossed anyones mind... that perhaps it has already been decided that the Royals will not play at the new stadium? This is almost funny! I think it's the same principle as the Zoo not wanting the Rosenblatt land. :) I'm sure the Royals would love to play in a brand new North Downtown stadium...

Omababe

DTO Luv wrote:The cost to put a line in to dead end at the zoo just from DT would be a huge waste.

If they did this right, they would do the Zoo via the Old Market and the 13th. St. business corridor. I'm sure the CWS visitors and other tourist types staying downtown would take this.

The more I think about it... What do you have against digital? Uh, nothing, really. I just haven't felt the need or desire to use digital. If you think that Digital is "Cheating" then you are wrong, people have been "cheating" with film for many years. Digital isn't cheating, an...

Just curious among those taking photographs - what camera do you have (including lenses) - what do and don't you like about it I have a small assortment of mostly older film cameras. Mamiya SD, Canon GIII, Pentax K1000, Olympus Stylus. and what would be the next camera you would buy if you had the ...

Not a conspiracy, just business ... Â Let's see here ...

We have oil industry executives, plural, in the administration.

Oil company profits are at an all-time high.

Gasoline prices are at an all-time high.

Coincidence?

Rumor central reports that: Coming into the old Old Chicago in Grand Island is Nebraska's first Johnny Carino's Country Italian Restaurant. Not to be a total b*tch here, but can't there EVER be originality in restaurants anymore? :( Yes, Carino's is good (and so is Valentinos and so is Fazolis, act...

Fatburger is an institution!

Yeah, I admit the name is not the best, but it's no worse than Chubbyville.

There is one vacant gate in each terminal. Â B15 in the north terminal is vacant as well as A3 in the south. Just an update here, last week they moved my Newark flight to B18. It had been in the opposite corner. Continental now has their signs on B18 and B19, two of the gates that Southwest was usi...

On the way in today they were saying on NPR that Mars and Wrigley were planning a buyout where Mars would acquire Wrigley, but I don't recall any mention of BH in there. I know I would have remembered that.

OK, I just did some sleuthing on-line and found out that "The Rose" restaurant in Treynor, Iowa (just east of CB) advertises itself as the new "Rose Lodge", using the same recipes as the "famous Omaha restaurant". Â I'm definitely going to check this out next time I'm ...

mentioned today that the Zoo is planning a Sea World type function on the old grounds of the Blatt. So get ready for Shamu Omaha. I like the idea! I'm sure the zoo folks would LOVE to acquire the Rosenblatt property. I don't think they want to pay for it, though. ... ... or worse, assume any debt o...

Oops, forgot Rose Lodge for fried chicken.

LOL, and how they tried to get people to quit calling it The Blatt!

I admit that "The Mofo of North Downtown" has a certain ring to it.

Omaha can proudly claim the reuben as it's own. Â I remember having a disagreement with a New Yorker over it's origin---he swore that 'Carnegie Deli' invented it. When I first moved to Omaha, we were in the Blackstone neighborhood and in our building also lived the executive housekeeper of the Blac...

Many cities(areas) are known for a particular food... Besides steak, could or should Omaha be known for something else? Two things come to mind as my first impression of Omaha cuisine. First is (was) the Italian steak house. In a way these were similar to the usual Sicilian red sauce places back ea...

Omaha Prime twice. For some reason I didn't think of it on this thread.

It was very good both times. I'm very glad I was not paying though, very ex$pen$ive!

I think they are all horrendous, I hope there is a second permanent name. I knew this was coming! :( Of all of the above, Pontiac and Enterprise seem to be the least emesis inducing (if used alone with no other corporate modifiers). Omaha's Diet Coke Stadium?

Guardian! He and Ashton K. played off each other rather well.

i believe so. Â He's getting old, though; he must have thought "Johnny Rosenblatt" was the title of an upcoming movie about an army sergeant turned gunslinger in the black hills of South Dakota, and was lobbying for an audition. Come on, he's a good actor! Haven't you seen Dances With Wol...
