I like that they left part of the building there as an entrance, but the rest of the park is a waste of space and an obvious effort to make the land more attractive to sell.

$63,000 for a Durango??? :shock: The Durango Hybrid prices start at $45,000. What the heck did he put in this thing get the price up to $63,000?!?! The most expensive options (sunroofs, navigation systems, upgraded stereos) are some of the least necessary options for a government vehicle. A Durango ...

Seems pretty easy to just walk into the park without a ticket. There's a lot of little guys there just walking around by themselves. They look pretty sketchy with their heads down and hands in their pockets; obviously trying to sneak into the game since their is no gate for taking tickets.

Pfft. They'd have more of it if they'd stop ripping out tracks at other industrial areas...

In my opinion that was the nicest bowling alley in the city. I didn't feel like I was at a truck stop.

Plus the residents with views facing north would inevitably file a lawsuit that their view had been taken away.

The City is more than willing to work with developers on parking requirements. Much of the time it is the developers themselves that want the parking, not the City forcing it upon them. I'm convinced that most developers are half re...uh..mentally challenged. Most developments have many useless pa...

With the bands announced so far for River Riot 1, they might as well call it Teenage Girl Riot.

Was browsing around the Pop Sci web-site. There was a video advertisement for "America's Power" - a pro coal organization - on the side bar with a guy touting coal in front of what looked remarkably like the Old Market. Clicked on the ad and sure enough, it was. http://www.americaspower.or...

No as in a plasma TV. Biggest one in the world. Supposed to be a tourist trap. Sounds pretty cool except they plan to only air old episodes of Family Matters.

Works for me, just get it up...

A drive through?! I thought this area was supposed to be urban?

30 foot buses...now hundreds of commuters can ride "the short bus" to work.

They should convert the engines they are overhauling to natural gas engines or some sort of greener fuel.

i saw a BMW yesterday with European plates underneath Nebraska plates. It was odd, and caught me off guard at first. So, i sped up and took a look. Sure enough, it was a long yellow rectangle with some plain old numbers. Covered, of course. And no, the steering column wasn't on the right. Some...

The people of Nebraska have spoken. No longer do we want to be known as the covered wagon state, or or the Chimney Rock state! Now we will be the 'first state with a license plate displaying the state name vertically . We could add a slogan at the bottom: "Nebraska: we kind of know Photoshop..&...

Also looks like the Civic is gone with a couple of mid-rises in its place.

From what I heard Chrysler is trying to conform their methods the same way Toyota does. Toyota only has 1300 nationwide dealerships but is the most successful selling car in America, and I think Chrysler had over 2000 or something, so its only logical they close the dealers that are bleeding them....

The metro looses Lithia in Omaha and Rohden in Council Bluffs. There are none total in Nebraska and 30 in Iowa. Russwood in Lincoln is a bit of a surprise to me because what I know about that dealership is that they are good to work with and seem to have a pretty good size volum. OF course who k...

I didn't even know there was a bar there...do they not have a sign or am I blind?

Huh, I figured the percentage of non-metro/micro populations would have been greater in most states...

I noticed they've also started to deconstruct the old Millard Lumber property. Perhaps there is something planned here..

Suttle doesn't seem too bright when he speaks, but his stance on issues as told from his web-site seem to imply that he has some high intentions for the city; at least more so than the tired old fixing of the pot holes and throwing more money at the schools. He wants to promote green living and gree...

No Frills Square sounds quite fitting.

Maybe instead of an amphitheater, they could build a giant pyramid and a sphinx instead.

I do like the obelisk. Very unique and will add some character.

Like I mentioned earlier, there is a hot dog stand that sets up shop on the CB side of the bridge. I think its just on the weekends though.

Now that I live in Council Bluffs, I go jogging downtown a lot and always start (and end) my jaunts in Playland Park.

This doesn't quite apply to Omaha, but I think it is interesting nonetheless...

Car, bike, mass transit and....speed boat, which is the fastest method of transit for getting across London during morning rush hour?

Illinois' main plate has Abe Lincoln on it. Howz about Nebraska gets Gerald Ford? Eh? Eh? Johnny Carson? Henry Fonda? Make it Marlon Brando with the slogan 'Nebraska: We'll make you offers you can't refuse' and a special Omaha plate with the 311 logo along with the slogan 'Omaha stylee' and its a d...

That is why they have the "move over or ticket" laws. Can you be ticketed for going the speed limit? I've heard......probably third hand....that you can recieve a ticket in California (and probably seveal other states as well) for going the speed limit if it is not at the pace which traff...

Ha, so it seems that our famous natural landmark, Chimney Rock, and our heritage with the Oregon Trail are "nothing" and that our 77,000 square mile state is best represented by a picture of a skyline to signify all two of our large cities. Although I do think that a modern represtionation...

Omaha does not need a beltway, just the other two. There's no way a ring around the city is going to help traffic going through the city as the article seems to suggest. Â A beltway would help 680 solve the problems it doesn't have. I can maybe see the need for a freeway through Sarpy County, but th...

Was it really necessary to tear down ALL the trees that were in front of the trailer park east of 24th Street?

Your grandpa, brother, and uncle are all the same person?

Or are they all named "Rich"?

So this is the first upgrade since the 1890s? Those pipes could probably use an update then...granted they haven't eroded.

Well, since the condo market is a little slow, perhaps Townsend could fill Wall Street Tower with this instead of condos.

Condos for cars:

Hmmm....that smells like an $18.5 million that can be applied to building streetcar.

Thank-you guest, but I'm not sure it was necessary to reiterate your own comment by repeating it in a quote directly below the original.
