awesome pictures brad, I've only been out once on that nice day  on friday 2 weeks ago but didn't get much.  Where did you see that Whooping Crane ?

The following building permit was recently issued: *Orange Development, 1710 West Second Street, 13,000 square foot pharmacy, $1,584,850  (a CVS Pharmacy) Orange Development is proposing a CVS Pharmacy in Norfolk virtually next door to the Walgreens as well. Is that where this CVS is going to be bu...

That is great to hear!  Now i don't have to go to Petco or petsmart  everytime i am in lincoln.  I do agree with the housing situation and Hastings is the same way.  Have been looking for a house to buy for a couple months now and there is not much to choose from, the lowest is 60K and highest b...

Does anyone have any updates on the mostly empty shopping center in front of Khols on 27th and Pine Lake. I remember when it was built in 2008 or so the local media was saying that it would be Lincoln's third mall. With all the retail going in around the city and building why isn't any one going in...

Regular 125,000sqft wal-mart

I have heard and seen a couple too. Last year was my first year taking pictures/following with these cranes as i was lucky enough to tag along with a photographer friend of mine.  Candle shoe you were right, the blinds at nebraska nature center is up on a hill and though it was nice when it was bri...

If GRI could get Chicago & Denver the place would explode.  Kearney can take a seat & watch.  Then GRI lands Southwest & Omaha can take a seat & watch.  I say within 10 years GRI is a major hub & people drive from Denver to fly.  I heard there was going to be an announcement of 3...

Just read a story somewhere how 432 Park Ave will be the richest address in the world when completed.  Something like 20 of the condos have been sold to billionares.  Both US and international folks wanting a place in NY. I have read that too! and also the penthouse  is going for $85 million.  Th...

Sad news...one of the newer Mexican food places, El Mariachi has now closed its doors. I think it was only open for a few months. They had great food and service, not sure what put them out.  Also there's a rumor that the Library Lounge is closing because their food is going down hill. hehe... then...

I think the 50k club is exactly right, we've had a nice bump up in restaurants now some nice new retail.  My hopes were not very high for the GI Mall area, but this a great start at redevelopment.  Granted I know nothing about the mall, but I've always thought that if they put parking and storefron...

amazing photos brad

I was hooked after going out by my self and after failing at the blind.  So i went out 3 more times driving on platte driver road and they are every where within 100 feet or less from the road, but i found an awesome place where you can sneak up on them and get within 30 feet or so. I had my tripod ...

You were right, the blind tour had a good sunset view but not enough lights even for a decent picture of cranes, going in the morning would have been a better choice. You are up on a hill about 100ft above the river so why they fly by you were close but it was dark. I was going to go this morning bu...

amazing candleshoe, that's what i am aiming for, needed to expand my hobby before shooting cars till august lol

Thanks for the tips guys, if i end up with dusk/sun set pictures I'll drive around Platte River Road on Sunday morning and try to get day shots.

candleshoe i'm going to the nebraska nature and visitor this saturday(5pm) with my gf and planning on shooting some crane pictures.  We are going on the viewing blind tour and apparently its the closest you can get to the cranes, no clue how close they are talking about.  But i'm planning to take ...

Napoli's is opening a second location and it will be at the Imperial Mall(dead) in Hastings. This is great news after over a month ago Olive Garden announced that they are building one, so far just footing and slab.  I hope this really works out for Napoli's because restaurants have come and go at ...

does anyone know what happened to the factory card outlet? drove by and it was empty inside.. Last I heard was that "Party City" acquired the Factory Card Outlet chain a year or two ago and was going to be re-branding the stores. I had heard they would gut the GI store and reopen later. I...

Interesting they don't already have something like that.  I was out there this summer and they had all the national fast food places and several big box retailers on that north end. Nope i have been living here since i was in 3rd grade in 1996, we have nothing as in a chain sit down restaurant like...

So, obviously we have quite a bit of activity here in GI. However, I'm not sure if Kearney or Hastings are seeing the same kind of growth. (Minus hospital growth). Personally, I love it! I did just read that the CNRA is also adding a parking structure soon. Great news! Now if they can only get in a...
