Maybe LaViata will lure them to Westport. Direct interstate access. Hotels nearby. And corn fields. Honestly, if I was in upper management of HDR I don't know how I could get up this morning and face the world. I would bet that even my 10-year-old child's classmates would be laughing at me as I dro...

I've been patiently waiting on this whole project (like we all have). I haven't heard anything for awhile. I'm glad that Best Buy recently moved further West. I think that's a good sign. In the meantime, I'm ecstatic about the new Bucky's gas station and Hobby Lobby there now. It looks so much bett...

Drove by today. Sign now says, "10,000 SQ FT. Retail Coming Soon."

I forgot that Lanoha has a different architectural company, though. I'd say the Civic site, but they'll still be kicking around whether that can be torn down in 2050. Yeah TACKArchitects is doing Lanoha. I was thinking the Civic site as well, but if their problem is people who live on 111000000th a...

I heard Stothert on KFAB this morning. It sounds like LOT B in downtown is very much in play for HDR. It was one of 12 sites the city initially proposed to HDR. The issue with the initial site appears to be that HDR doesn't want the city to acquire any property on its behalf through imminent domain...

Parking wasn't an issue? |expletive|, please. Right???? If New York, LA, Dallas, Denver, etc. can build a dense downtown and figure out parking, Omaha (population nothing) should be able to figure out parking with our not-so-dense downtown. Gimme a break. And, yes I understand they have better mass...

I disagree with the limited downtown slots. Omaha has open lots all over the place downtown. Also, Ameritrade and Double Tree buildings would both be taller than anything we could possibly dream of building right now downtown. I'd be ecstatic to have something like the Ameritrade building downtown....

I remember RAX. I believe there was one where Wendy's is now on 90th between Fort and Maple. Famous for having a salad bar and atrium seating.

Wow, so we probably will end up with a bunch of 5-6 story buildings then. I think you're correct. All along the rolling countryside of Boys Town :roll: .. It's hard to even remain positive about them announcing they plan to stay in the Omaha metro.. Decommitting from Downtown Omaha in the way a sop...

I was thinking Pacific, but 132nd. Sterling Ridge.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that statement about immigrants, Somalis and Muslims. This county was built on immigrants and freedom of religion. It blows my mind.

I honestly don't think that local mom and pop type restaurants have a chance at lifestyle centers such as VP. People expect formulaic chain restaurants at these places, and rents are higher than mom and pop's are used to paying. At the least, people that live in this area expect something more akin...

When I drove by last night it looks like there's a for sale sign by White Lotus. I happen to drive by last night and I need to retract this statement. What I thought was a for sale sign actually was Available 10,000 square-foot retail space sign. My bad sorry guys. :? I drive by almost daily. It lo...

Funny how the Best Buy website shows the the store front for the Dodge Street location as looking like this. Was this how the front of the old location looked? I never paid attention to it. I like the look of this better than the "point."
