what do you guys predict will happen with this building? I know before MoO was announced they planned on remodeling but it seems since then everyone’s fleeing the building. A shame since I like the building but it won’t be a focal point anymore for sure at least from the photogenic park perspective...

probably. Markel moved out to 138th & Dodge

I doubt there's much in the way of pollution that'd prevent them from developing it, if that were the case. It isn't like Asarco when they had to do all that remediation because of contamination. Sure, there my have been some oil that got spilled or whatever, but that'd be superficial compared to si...

I think it looks super cool. Yes, it's on the edge of the Metro, but probably hard to find enough land at a reasonable price in the city proper. I still want a full scale outdoor water park on the scale of Aquatica or Wet N Wild. Maybe Nebraska Crossing still has promise for that. I agree with a lo...

i hope it pans out, and i hope it's a hit. Without disrespect to fun plex, I can't believe the area is so limited on these kinds of things to do. There are other metros & markets with the same or more options than we have.

Another thing scheduled to open in 2026...

I didn't think it was a good ad campaign from the beginning. Glad to see they dropped it Despite criticisms of the slogan, it at least did not hurt tourism or people's perception of Nebraska. I know the proponent is attributing the positive results on the slogan, but it was really just part of a re...

when i was driving home the other day, they were in between raising the west half of the forms to the next level. I was hoping to find a picture of it cause it looked really cool

agreed, even though I don't live over there.

My wife has an account at First National Bank and she was called yesterday saying she needed to verify some recent transactions she had. After she told them they were all hers/correct, they forced her to close her bank card anyway due to a "high risk of fraud" but wouldn't tell her why or...

I will go ahead and say it. OKC has already had too much destruction with the bombing in the 90's. They do not need to build another target that could be a focal point at some point in time for the wrong reasons. to be fair, they shouldn't have built the Freedom tower in NYC either then. That being...

a million dollars? I can't believe it costs that much for that small stretch of road Remove Existing Pavement @ $15sqyd = 2000x15 = $30,000 Subgrade Preparation @ $5sqyd 4000x5 = $20,000 9" PCC Concrete Pavement @ $80sqyd 4000x80 = $320,000 So that's already $370,000 with just 3 items. You sti...

do you guys have any pointers on deterring rabbits making homes in your back yard? I've got a deck that they love to nest under, which I wouldn't mind if they didn't try to eat my plants. I use capsaicin spray on all of my lilies, fruit bushes, and just anything else they get a knack for to keep th...

I showed my kids the renderings and told them about where it'd be and stuff, and they were excited. They said "it's right by the luminarium and that big playground!" I think this is a lot better spot than some folks are giving it credit for. I mean, honestly, when it's nice out, we go down...

Is it going to be the college world series hall of fame? Like, have a college baseball one, then a CWS one? doesn't make a ton of sense, but may be plausible.

looks like it is still at 3 stories. should be making a jump soon, i'd think

Busguy, didn't you submit transit ideas to the city a while back? This would be a good one to include ;)

thenewguy

the core will be 300' by the end of the year?

thenewguy

there is a pack of them roaming around the west end of CB. It's understandable if they are in fields or areas near the river, but to be in residential neighborhoods seems odd. Animal control isn't worried about it though

How weird is it that I will be saddened to see the city drop?
Chicago is used to it. Before they were #3, they were #2.

they are still better than any other big city, other than NYC

I kind of love this idea. I actually really like how many areas this track snakes by. Printing station is right next to Capitol District/north part of CBD. There is also the 12th and Dodge ORBT station just a block south. I know an A-B route is preferred for speed, but you're hitting a lot of hotel...

And as an aside, I gotta say, despite a lot of valid criticisms recently about her time spent outside of the city, Stothert has got to be one of the most impressive mayors Omaha has had, downtown development wise. I even say this as a pretty firm progressive, if she ran again and I was voting in Om...

I guess I don't really understand all the criticism that this is receiving from an access/accessibility perspective. This proposed development is on currently unused land in north downtown, just sitting empty. It is also a 10-15 minute walk from Millwork (which we all laud), Charles schwab, CHI are...

The did a good job in clearing the snow off the sidewalks in the Riverfront, despite the cold weather; I see people enjoying and taking a stroll in the park. Of course the foot traffic is not as much as in the Summer but there's plenty of people enjoying the wonders of the winter weather. FNBO towe...

This is cool and all — but the city again fails to create a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. This is too far away from the existing sports venues to create any true cohesion downtown. How do people go from this new thing to literally anything else downtown? That walk will be abysmal. The city should...
