Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)
It has been a great pace! I think it'll slow down a little as it gets taller though. I mean, just the physical action of transporting workers and materials from the base to the tip will be a longer period of time. I was thinking it might be the exact opposite. At least for the building as a whole. ...

Re: WSJ on the struggles of downtown St. Louis
I haven't been for prob 15-20 years, but there is so much crime in the St Louis area. I had a friend that was from St Louis and she used to ask me why I thought Omaha was better. I remember stating that I would live in Omaha any day of the week over St Louis. Sure there is some money there and they ...

More than one of the comments stated that it should be moved back to Omaha. This is how I feel with the CWS. Sure, they could move it to a major league park, but it wouldn't have the same feel. Although sports have tended to be much more about money than ever before. It sounds like Indianapolis is o...

Re: Aksarben Village
They have gotten really lazy with the landscaping on the HDR block in AV. Rather than having grass on the parking bump outs near entrances, they just put white gravel down. Looks pretty cheap and tacky.
