I will go ahead and say it. OKC has already had too much destruction with the bombing in the 90's. They do not need to build another target that could be a focal point at some point in time for the wrong reasons. to be fair, they shouldn't have built the Freedom tower in NYC either then. That being...

a million dollars? I can't believe it costs that much for that small stretch of road Remove Existing Pavement @ $15sqyd = 2000x15 = $30,000 Subgrade Preparation @ $5sqyd 4000x5 = $20,000 9" PCC Concrete Pavement @ $80sqyd 4000x80 = $320,000 So that's already $370,000 with just 3 items. You sti...

do you guys have any pointers on deterring rabbits making homes in your back yard? I've got a deck that they love to nest under, which I wouldn't mind if they didn't try to eat my plants. I use capsaicin spray on all of my lilies, fruit bushes, and just anything else they get a knack for to keep th...

I showed my kids the renderings and told them about where it'd be and stuff, and they were excited. They said "it's right by the luminarium and that big playground!" I think this is a lot better spot than some folks are giving it credit for. I mean, honestly, when it's nice out, we go down...

Is it going to be the college world series hall of fame? Like, have a college baseball one, then a CWS one? doesn't make a ton of sense, but may be plausible.

looks like it is still at 3 stories. should be making a jump soon, i'd think

Busguy, didn't you submit transit ideas to the city a while back? This would be a good one to include ;)

the core will be 300' by the end of the year?

there is a pack of them roaming around the west end of CB. It's understandable if they are in fields or areas near the river, but to be in residential neighborhoods seems odd. Animal control isn't worried about it though

How weird is it that I will be saddened to see the city drop?
Chicago is used to it. Before they were #3, they were #2.

they are still better than any other big city, other than NYC

I kind of love this idea. I actually really like how many areas this track snakes by. Printing station is right next to Capitol District/north part of CBD. There is also the 12th and Dodge ORBT station just a block south. I know an A-B route is preferred for speed, but you're hitting a lot of hotel...

https://www.wowt.com/2024/01/27/mutual-omaha-marks-one-year-since-groundbreaking-new-tower/ I find this to be teasing: Lanoha told 6 News all the employees currently working in the Midtown offices will be relocated to the new tower once it’s done. “We’re developing something that is transformationa...

And as an aside, I gotta say, despite a lot of valid criticisms recently about her time spent outside of the city, Stothert has got to be one of the most impressive mayors Omaha has had, downtown development wise. I even say this as a pretty firm progressive, if she ran again and I was voting in Om...

Looks like Jonah Gilmore (KETV) is heading back to New Orleans: Today is my 33rd birthday and as I welcome this new year of life, I welcome the new adventure that awaits.

I guess I don't really understand all the criticism that this is receiving from an access/accessibility perspective. This proposed development is on currently unused land in north downtown, just sitting empty. It is also a 10-15 minute walk from Millwork (which we all laud), Charles schwab, CHI are...

The did a good job in clearing the snow off the sidewalks in the Riverfront, despite the cold weather; I see people enjoying and taking a stroll in the park. Of course the foot traffic is not as much as in the Summer but there's plenty of people enjoying the wonders of the winter weather. FNBO towe...

This is cool and all — but the city again fails to create a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. This is too far away from the existing sports venues to create any true cohesion downtown. How do people go from this new thing to literally anything else downtown? That walk will be abysmal. The city should...

I watched something online the other day about why there are so many 5 over 1 boxes in the US vs cities in Europe and it has to do with fire code. Here, there is a requirement to have 2 stairwells in every building, so that means there's a significant portion of the interior occupied by a hallway an...

I guess you’d have to ask the owners for the meaning behind the name. Are they going to feature American spirits, wines and beers? Theme bars and restaurants are fine; I have no problem with that. If the name was intended to imply that only like-minded people are welcome, then he should expect some...

I read an article a few years ago stating the reason the name hasn't changed because they had a 100 year naming clause on it. I don't know if airfield was part of the deal or just the Eppley name. It was named after Eugene Eppley in 1959 or 1960. Of course, I can't find the article now. Maybe somet...

Sounds like I'm not the only one who hates the idea of this 'me too', let's be an 'International' airport. I suspect even with the improved facilities and any International tourist destination flights, they would be seasonal at best. I've always actually liked retaining the historic 'airfield' name...

so if I am recalling this correctly, we had about 3" on Christmas, 6" on Tuesday of last week, an inch or two on Wednesday of last week, around 10" on Thur/Fri, and about 3" yesterday. If my memory is any good, that puts us at around 23-24" for the season so far, right?

i mean, yes, having more gates is great, but doubling the space inside is what is going to really make it feel better. They can do a lot with maximizing the gates they have to increase volume.
