They need to build up infrastructure. It's going to be like the 50's and early 60's. The fans will go for the fun of it, the coaches will need to recruit farm and ranch kids who may not play football at the elite high school level, so training people and supporting small town coaches will be key. Al...

Nope. The lake will be a shallow noisy sand pit. It will be a flood risk and paying that sweet extra flood insurance in addition to all the other plans is going to make it much less successful than TanTara or Lake of the Ozarks lodge. Even those two with much bigger markets to draw from have a lot o...

So are these going to be like an even worse version of closed Walmarts, just giant empty fulfillment centers strewn across the country. I'm ready for new karting tracks! Replacement for Memorial Stadium! We should use emenent domain and give it to the Union Omaha club as an indoor soccer facility t...

Taxes in Nebraska are a real problem in general. Property taxes get the ink, but the income tax is a big nest of problems as well. The fundamental issue is the cost of operation of our state. We simply pay a lot of money for things and stuff. This prevents serious tax reform because our budget busti...

A Whataburger with access to a stable supply of green Chile would make it possible to create a green Chile cheeseburger with Nebraska beef. A nexus in taste would open and a new era of haute cuisine would burst upon the huddle masses yearning for the perfect burger. It should happen, but it won't. B...

I live on Pacific West of there and have foxes in my backyard. Also racoons and other critters. Kind of want the eagles, hawks, and owls back from last winter.

They should give him the rest of the season to prove himself and either stay or get enough on his resume that he can land well.

NU is not getting a big name coach. No one is going to sign on to that dumpster fire. Better to keep him and limp forward.

bigredmed1

Keep their heads in the games so there are fewer mental mistakes. (Players and coaches here). Goal for the rest of the season: no blow out losses and at least 1 win over a low ranked opponent. Aspiration for this season would be close fought games all the rest of the way and wins over all the teams ...

I remember KOIL playing top 40 Rock and popular tunes throughout the day/evening in the early 1970’s. The playlist pretty much mirrored all the tunes you’d hear on Casey Kasem’s “American Top 40” show on Sunday’s… Ciao..LiO…Peace Yes, they also still had "personality DJ's" well into the 7...

I have been reading some of the comments out on social media and it amazes me that there are these ‘I bleed Husker Red’ fans that felt this was rushed, that Frost should have been given more time, that Trev needs to be let go, - it’s just weird and wild their thought process. Frost probably should ...

Poor advertising. It was right next to both DJs Dugout and the China Buffet and got a lot of walk in traffic from both. We would go there, but one day, we went and it was closed down. They retreated back to Dundee. Their ice cream flavors were pedestrian, but they made really good sherbets and sorbe...

Height, access for repair crews, and unobstructed sound plane.

Omaha radio didn't invent top 40. We are guilty of worse. The "Elite 8" format. This was invented by Storz Broadcasting when it was discovered that even cutting the playlist to the top 40 was too expensive in terms of records and management of the records for the DJs. The Elite 8 format al...

Speculation: the local stations need programming for the non network hours. Syndicated shows like Big Bang are over exposed and others like Simpsons and Seinfeld are just long in the tooth and dull so they are not a great path. News, especially diluted happy talk news like in the day time is profita...

Will be interesting to see if Coneflower can make it in west Omaha after eCreamery closed down their 114th street location. That closure surprised me as they seemed busy.

The old university hospital building has structural brick walls and the upper floors are feet thick, so even small projects are spendy. The plumbing is cast iron and so old even semiretired master plumbers have to reach way back in their memory banks to fix things. These were cool buildings, but the...

bigredmed1

How many of these old buildings were pigs in lace? Asbestos and lead waste dumps? Having worked at UNMC in a building built around WW1, the cost to modernize even just a doorway was staggering. To build a door between a conference room and the floor was $250,000 and required mining engineers to stab...

Thanks for the correction.

bigredmed1

Yes, it would be different as the houses added around the Target came after the store or were built to come out to Maple to the West of the store. In this case, the Costco would increase traffic coming off Maple and would increase congestion on Emmet east of the creek and make it more difficult for ...

I get that this site is about as pro-developer as it can get, but the concern about the exit entering directly into their neighborhood should not be dismissed as a sappy nimby quote. It's worth study. At least at the level of volume and traffic safety. Consider the modifications to the south exit a...

Very disappointing of her. I get that she was widowed tragically and this with her new marriage likely burdened her more that she counted on, but, even as a supporter, this has gone on too much and she should probably step aside.

Not even a 20% chance.

Yes, was at Valmont for the last half of undergrad. Look again at Lincoln, there are a lot of buildings that were businesses when built and when the state and NU were small. They are still there, but the businesses are not. Employees went downtown when there was no choice, but as in Omaha and other ...

bigredmed1

Possibly. The internships would not likely stay downtown. I have a nephew who got his degree from CU and his first internship was at National Indemnity. After that, he was out west at Valmont. People follow the money and the opportunities. If 10th and Farnam has the gig, they will be there, if 130th...

It would be like a hilly Lincoln. Full of state buildings and the University.

Most of what we see as Vegas sports gambling was worked out in Omaha. The city was declared an "Open City" by the Mafia commission.

Apparently, at least in FL, sheriff's have more rank than police chiefs and it was advantageous for Jax to keep the Sheriff and role the cops into that department rather than the other way around.

bigredmed1

Just more reason to combine the Douglas county sheriff with the Omaha police Dept. Other geographically large cities have done this successfully. Jacksonville, FL combined their city and county governments into one decades ago. Seems to work ok. Kept the sheriff and terminated the police due to she...

For me, the issue seems to be the frequency of errors on these cameras and the difficulty in getting the ticket reversed when issued in error.

This is just like so much else in life. Pot. Booze. Gambling. Caffeine. Food. Sex(porn). Online forums (lol). I was taught what I consider the “other” Golden Rule in life: in all things, moderation. It’s a tough rule to live by, but a good one. Always a good plan, it just seems that from the NEJM a...

The New England Journal punished a paper in January about British Columbia's pot impaired driving. Twice as many overall than was expected and worrying is that many of these people were seriously intoxicated. The number of these was twice the rate of prior to legalization. Given the under-enforcemen...

I voted for her the last two elections and was happy that she won. For whatever reason, she seems to have lost the heart for this job. I honestly think that she should resign. Go be with her new fam and be happy.

Good for them! Maybe a future series with UNO?

Breakfast at Report In Pub and at Rusty Nail are solid and definitely not that fru fru over the top "brunch scene" food at the places you have listed. Sorry, but if I want ham and eggs, that's what I want and having brie or shredded broccoli on top for an extra $5 is a no go.

Honest question: why is a PR press release from the Sierra Club that is predictable as a 3rd copy off a printer newsworthy?

What is the current wattage of 1290? Years ago, it was a boomer of a signal, in recent time, you had a hard time hearing it west of 108th.

Heard through my Irish connections that there is some local interest in Ireland for the game. It will be interesting to hear how much local fan support there is.

bigredmed1

Yep and that would allow for people to get on along the way and bus from Deerridge or Trendwood to points east like One Pacific Place and make use of those resources.
