Where is this Sultan of Gretna?

Baby bob is moving ahead at the typically federal pace. Next required study phase begins soon, will determine engineering level cost estimate to use for fund raising.

The biggest problem the entire area has right now is lack of sewer.

That looks like a pretty good grocery plan in DSM. I dont mind grocery anywhere downtown if the plan is good. I'm wondering if this is really the best location though. Its a bit away from a lot of things a store might want IMO, residents for one :) With four blocks to work with there is a lot that c...

I wonder what adding on stores with separate entrances would do long term to the mall. I think you have to be careful about trying to be all things. The only way the larger mall works is getting people actually inside. Yes, the large anchors have entrances but the more one stop shopping you can do, ...

I'm just a little late in realizing there are two beer fests this weekend. Anyone looked at them enough to know the differences? In a broad way, I dont need a complete rundown of brewers, Ive seen the lists and honestly with 50 some at each its hard to go wrong either way.

Take em out!!

cdub

Keep in mind that its 4 blocks and not just one. There will likely be more attention paid to the Capitol side but there is tremendous opportunity here. Hopefully there will be a phased approach, as there is too much there to fill nicely at once. Count me as one who could care less about a tower. Is ...

It would be great if someone else would buy the property and develop it the right way without having to come hat in hand for anything other than TIF. It's far, far too big of a property for anyone to develop without some incentives like tif. I'd rather give TIF than have a vacant mall, but that's j...

Not much out there except the new middle school just to the east.

Wedding and event center I think.

Anyone know what's being built on the northwest corner of 52nd & L right across from Sizzler which is still open amazingly! looks like some kind of fast food as it has a drive up window. I'm hoping a Jimmy Johns. If this is a part of the Mitchell Auto Auction property I believe your hopes are ...

"Approval of the HOTEL OMAHA BY EXPRESS TIF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLAN" - June PB

cdub

Oh, thanks. You know, now that I think about it, maybe Dodge should've been built as 7 lanes (3 east, 3 west and a center turn) many years ago from said distance back in the 60's or 70's. Perhaps then, left turns would be allowed? Same problem then, now and always. The more lanes you want the more...

Wow.. I'm thinking this place is going to eventually be something akin to Jordans Creek in DSM when its done. I was already impressed with the size.. and with phase 2 going to expand it hugely its going to be a great place for even just casual passerbys to want to stop in real quick for a break fro...

Surprised by the number of comments online about this project saying it shouldnt even get TIF. Of course, the way most of them couch it, it sounds like they are part of the population that doesn't understand it at all. When their complaint is that the project shouldn't get 'taxpayer' money I figu...

That measurement surprised me as he didnt seem the type to bother exaggerating that much. He's going to have to have a little quick in him. If he's at least as quick as JJ Redick maybe he will survive. At that size he may not even get the big forward but the small one or even a big guard. Will be in...

My wife will be disappointed. She and her mom liked it. I thought it was fine and dont recall thinking it was too pricey, and Im generally pretty cheap. Lots of food variety and worked will for the kids.

cdub

The City is wildly over-retailed. Sometimes niche places like this in good neighborhoods can survive but in the end, there is more competition than anyone needs.

cdub

Bad deal. If the law does really allow it, it should be changed. We can discuss whether government (local) services should be curtailed, but as they are they are already short and this would leave a mark!

cdub

Ok, so the food court changes are a little more than I thought. The plan is to move the entire court to the back side between Younkers and the theater. Current court will get demolished for an undetermined future user.

cdub

Heck we could knock down a few buildings and really go to town! Might a little bit of appropriately placed parking help? Yes. But you do indeed have to be careful about what you sacrifice to get it. A 4 ' sidewalk would be pitiful and may not even be able to meet ADA depending upon how much |expleti...

Didnt look too far to see if this has been discussed ,but overhaul of the food court in the works. Probably nothing that will light anyones hair on fire.

Ken Smith is the parking guru within PW.

cdub

Its downtown. Pay to park. Generally, not leased either. Its PW that administers the parking so thats who you'd complain to. More likely that the other parking will also go away rather than yours coming back.

cdub

I have definitely noticed generally higher prices everywhere Ive been when Ive shopped for beer. You can pretty generally find a decent $6 6 pack around here and many places your looking at 7-8.

As far as the Nebraska Miami game... well, they can't exactly relocate the game. I was just using that as an example of how concentrated demand will drive price. This is routine for hotel prices during extremely high demand periods - for example, there are no Hilton branded hotels within 50 miles ...

I thought the potential church buyer showing up to fight the current proposal was pretty slimy.

Also, for any of those wanting to get into the development biz, its now easier as all it takes to be a traffic expert is a drivers license. Apply for a new job today!

The northwest corner of 49th and Underwood is the community garden. Hopefully it's a misprint and he means one of the parking lots between 50th and 51st. Or the parking on the nw corner of 50th and Underwood. Community Gardens are great but if someone wants to develop the site that well, its better...

Redirecting the traffic is not a good idea. The infrastructure is built to handle what is proposed. Spending time disconnecting or gerrymandering streets to improve the perception of neighbors is why you cant get anywhere in West O without being on an arterial. There are already 2 or 3 disconnected ...

Wow...I just read up on the Power and Light's inability to generate enough taxes to pay for the bonds issued. I never knew there was that much of a gap. I think it is a good thing Mayor Stothert decided to look at what the city is issuing again for the Crossroads project before taxpayers are on t...

Every RL I've ever been in has been crowded. Don't know how they can be struggling. Maybe that isnt the case outside of the midwest. Food prices are higher than most restaurants. Do you mean food costs? My point is the price doesnt keep them from being busy. However, if the margins stink that won...

That is too bad. Wonder if they will keep their new offices and wonder if this was a family squabble or if the next generation just wasn't into running the business . Hes a very young guy that probably has lots of other things to do with his money (lots of it now). Interestingly, they were working...

Iowa might of just played their way out of the tourney... This is unlikely. Everywhere I have looked said they were locks regardless. The committee supposedly does not weight the last games any more than the first. When they used to consider the last 10, this could have hosed them. I have no idea w...

When was the last time Nebbie, Creighton, Iowa and ISU were all in the same year? Obviously Nebraska is the usual holdout but its certainly been a while!

Perhaps they've cleaned up the stragglers but Caseys used to be a franchise deal. I know the town I grew up in though had a franchisee they were trying to buy out and that was forever ago so that may have been when they shifted. They were pretty serious there too. The guy wouldn't take the buyout so...

Same old inaccurate neighborhood point of view. Putting an economic development tool into place to help redevelop an area will not hurt you, unless, of course, you like old, underused |expletive| in your neighborhood.
