Re: Cherry Creek 103 & Blair High Road

I recall something being planned here maybe 5-7 years ago. Is this the same project? People have looked at it, but its a tough piece of ground (Lots of grade change, jurisdictional waters, and wetlands). This will cause a lot of traffic going into Blair Highway. Especially with the new Celibrity de...

Something in politics. Running for office with a newborn and a 2 year old is not a good mix. He's only 31. Plenty of time for office later.

Yeah, I think we discussed earlier in this thread or a different thread that the founders of Pepperjax were the same people behind Chartroose Caboose. We went there when I was a kid in the 80's, up on North 90th street.
Yep. Near Grease Monkey.

Re: “Time Out” Chicken

4 months now, and nobody interested. Could it be the $4 million asking price? I sincerely understand nostalgia, but I can't recall any other Omaha icon drawing that kind of asking price. I think the sale includes the lot to the south which was a DQ long ago. I'd be surprised if they get $500k.
