Did all the smashburgers close already? I've been out of the country for the last few months. It appears the one in Bellevue is now closed. Doesn't surprise me, way overpriced. I think the one at 72nd and Farnam is still going strong. Â Not sure if any others are still open. Â And yes, they are h...

Their programming is a mixture of NPR, jazz and they will play the BBC World Service during the overnight hours. KIOS is my drive-time station, for my fix of that Evil Librul public radio! Monday is Blues Day, 1:00pm in the afternoon and 8:00pm at night. Yes, when I'm on a late-nite project I liste...

Utterly stupendous photos. Â Makes me really want to return to the southwest next year.

That must be why they tore down the large parking garage this summer.

Just curious why they would have crews working in the dark at 5 am?

Great photos!

There is nothing new, or original, in local, over the air waves radio in America. The stations you find in Omaha have the same names, and logos, and music, and sometimes over the air voices, as stations in Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Orlando or anywhere else. I used to love traveling somewhere new, becaus...

Here it is Sunday evening and I have no clue who UNL played yesterday, or who won. Life is good. Why did you post in here then? Pretty childish. Because I thought perhaps this thread, titled as it is, would give me the answer, without my having to turn on local TV "news" when I return t...

To take that marvelous location and to put in a drop ceiling is a crime against humanity.

It would have been nicer if the porches would have actually been big enough to be usable by the tenants, so they could eat outdoors.

I noticed a lot of construction activity northeast of 72 nd and Cornhusker in Papillion. Â Friends who live nearby told me that it is a new Sam's Club and Hobby Lobby going in there.

This project is certainly better than what sits on the corner now. Â But in 10 years I wonder if this will seem like a missed opportunity to build something much bigger near the very heart of downtown.

Should we laugh or cry? For the past day Channel Sux has advertised that they would carry the implosion of the Rosenblatt Press Box live on TV at 7 am. They played it up all during the morning news, with cut ins during the show. Well, at about 6:57 they cut to commercials, and I switched to Channel...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Austin The U.S. city of Austin, Texas is the site of 121 high-rises, 46 of which stand taller than 180 feet (55 m). The tallest building in the city is the 56-story Austonian, which is 683 ft (208 m) tall. Completed in 2010, it is the tallest...

I speak from having traveled a lot, and having spent extensive time in all three cities the past two years. Two visits to NYC, three to Chicago. And 5 days in Austin. Austin has experienced a building boom the past decade like almost no other city, save probably for Las Vegas and Miami. And Toro...

No. Â It will be a lot smaller.

Austin has seen more large construction projects the past 10 years than Chicago or New York.

This has been the quietest year for storms in the Midwest that I can ever recall. Â I guess a drought will do that.

Uh oh. http://www.nebraska.tv/story/19217706/state-fair-sky-tram-destroyed-in-fire "High flying fun" gives way to deep disappointment, as a truck carrying parts of the new Nebraska State Fair Sky Tram crashed and burned in a fiery wreck on the interstate. This sounds like ample material ...

Old Mill Toyota was supposed to break ground this year on a brand new sales facility out by Village Point. Â But I was told there has been a delay until at least next year. Â Meanwhile Performance Toyota is hard at work expanding their relatively new facility off of Harrison Street.

I haven't been inside yet, but I hope they maintained as much of the urban sophistication of the Crane Coffee operation that proceeded them. One local food blogger described the interior as dumpy, however.

We ate at one of these traveling road shows last week in Denver. Â Some decent food. Â Expect to pay about $10 for a sandwich and some chips or slaw. Â More for ribs. Â This is the same type organization that used to appear at the MAC. The real smoker barbequers are down in LaPlatte for the 20th Ann...

So, they removed a public parking lot that no one used, because there was no reason to park in that area. Â And they are replacing it with public amenities that people are now expected to drive down to use. Â But there will be no parking lot for them to park in (and parking is prohibited on the adja...

Drama in Regency. They put in a large piece of modern art on their property against the wishes of the rest of the neighborhood that voted and said they don't want it. Lawyers getting involved. Honestly, I like the 15 foot tall Big Chair sculpture. Â Because it distracts your eyes from the POS hou...

Brix is pretty modern and upscale.

If every new construction project in town would progress like this one did a lot of us would have a lot fewer gray hairs.

Wow, that's impressive! With everything I've seen lately in Denver, it looks like a pretty exciting place to be. We are winding up four days in Downtown Denver this week. I could not be more impressed with this city, and the foresight it's political and business leaders have continued to show as ...

This is more great news for mid-town, and Omaha in general! Â The area has reached the tipping point where more businesses will want to relocate due to the high number of residents, which then encourages even more residential development, leading to more businesses, etc.

What was in the little round building before? For some reason, I picture a US Bank logo on it from the past...perhaps I'm confusing it with something else? The building will look nice once done... It may sound odd to say this, but I think the balconies will actually dress up the building quite a...
