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...

No double elimination, no tournament championship, no post season for Creighton. Creighton. 0 Xavier. 5 Attendance: maybe 100. Maybe we can get Creighton to get rid of Baseball and put in Hockey. Servais has phoned it in, and Big East Baseball is no better than little league baseball.

I swear, if I read/hear of people who live just west of this site complain about the "potential for increased traffic blah blah" and try and fight this, I'll probably scream

This area sorely needs a revamp, and I'm glad UNMC is leading the way.

So I am curious if they will release all the proposals like they did with the Swanson plant site on the 4th or if they will wait to announce their finial pick in August. Maybe we can get some more renderings to look at for years and years. As of today, they have no proposals on the table. None. No...

Wasn't ready to writs down the interview Grow Omaha did with the developer for Crossroads, but he did mention the hotel would be part of phase two, that a Fortune 500 company already had their eyed on 100k sq ft., and that they already had an innovation center company ready to go. Sounded like they...

If this gets NFL backing, it will succeed. If it does not, it will fail miserably once again.

My bet is on the failure part.

MadMartin8

As odd as it sounds, I think once more people live down there through apartments and what not, I think this will curtail this problem.

Cue laugh track. Typical Omaha.

I love this place, been to it many times in KC.

The Lincoln courts and cops are jokes when it comes to punishing Lincoln's source of tourism dollars.

You read it all of the time here! Seems like half of the posts are OWH quotes and links. I'm old school and still have a subscription. I read the paper version as much as the free online or e-paper versions. Haha, very very true. I come here for most of my news, plus I get the added bonus of far mo...

Yep, really..... should try it...

I'll pass on reading the OWH.

If only they had a FoodTruck, served cupcakes, or were called "Mimi's Cafe on 10th", they'd have made it!

This thread depresses me a bit too much

Can we just pretend like this parcel of land doesn't exist anymore?

When I think of 'highrise'... I think minimum 300 feet. The First National Center building is close at 295. Downtown Des Moines has a whopping 8 300+ footers, to our measly 3 1/2. When I was in Des Moines two weekends ago it surprised me. None of those buildings look like they are that tall, and...

We'll start off thinking this will be 25 stories, but ultimately get a 5 story building after the plans have been slashed. This is Omaha development and this is a supposedly big project we're talking about afterall.

Another cupcake shop comes to the area. I'll add it to the pile. But these aren't just cupcakes. They are true wood-fired free-range cupcakes! Can't get any more trendy than that, can ya? :) Well, maybe you could if you served them out of a food truck! :) And if they were locally sourced, organic, ...

Hey, no hitting someone with a bottle of alcohol, especially Johnny Walker. It could damage the bottle...and we can't abuse alcohol like that

At those prices this is going to sell out pretty quickly.

Is this off of 108th? If so, I live just a stones throw away so I'll have to check it out.

Beat out Michigan, Iowa, and a few other schools.

Another big time get. The year after this next one could be a fun one to watch....LOTS of talent coming in.

With NuStyle on this, it's going to be good. Can't wait to see how it ends up.

In this case, the slower economy from 2008-2012 was likely the biggest factor in the delay. If that covers 2008 to 2012, what's the reason for the delay between 2012 and eternity? Your guess is as good as mine Mad Marty, but I'd guess it's probably either the hangover from the recession, MECA drag...

Once the arena is finished, it's going to be the most vibrant work/play areas in the state.

How amazing.

The Mayor was on "The Bottom Line" yesterday and they talked about TDAP and North Downtown. She says semi-pro football and soccer events have approached the city, but that it is MECA's job to bring events in. So...what we can really take from all that is that we have craptastic leaders...

This development will be a success financially and I am sure will fill up, but presenting it as a walkable "live, work, play" development is silly. It is slightly better designed than suburban development from a decade ago, but it isn't anything other than just that. I think it's an upgr...

Lanoha is developing the site now as per the local fishwrap. I am on my mobile so I can't post a link.

Guess a developer was right around the corner.

This lineup proves to me how out of touch I am with music. I may have to go just to check it all out.

That would be a stupid move right now for Creighton. Absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose.

That said, a few years down the road, it could be interesting.

Went here this past weekend, haven't been since they opened, and it was ok. Was nice, they had all the overhead doors open and the weather was nice, but I wasn't blown away by the food. Service was OK. Also tried Crave for the first time the weekend before last, and while the atmosphere was nice, I...
