That right, because no one has ever seen him cry.

He was just on Jim Rome, he didn't sound that bad?

Census figures say Nebraska is No. 1 for people working http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2798&u_sid=10129936 There is no place like Nebraska when it comes to the percentage of people in the work force, although Iowa is not far behind at No. 3. Census data released Wednesday also show that ...

Nice Depth of field AO!

Okay, I didn't see that coming. ;)

You should see Lou these days... Lives in the gym and is all rip, seriously.

I saw Styx and Kansas upstairs in the Civic about 11 years ago, great show! Heck ya! I was there too. Still have my obligatory t-shirt, never worn, sitting on the closet shelf at home. :lol: You're not the guy I had to sit next to with crayon drawings of the band that he kept trying to show me th...

The Original:

Anyone go to the Big Sports 590 - Monday night football party last night at Ferral's?

I think they are catering to more than a few demographics. Â Quit selling the place short unless you go there. Â I am sure more than sports fans go to the ESPN zone, and more than straight men go to hooters, and more than nature lovers go to the rainforest cafe!

They also tore off all the decorative brick along the roof of the UP back when they did the addition. Â I still think they could have torn down Most of the old UP and left the face of it to be part of the new Wallstreet tower. Â I will google sketch something later to show you.

icejammer wrote:Dang, those tickets are quite a bit more expensive than the last time I saw Chicago 23 years ago.....

I was thinking they were expensive in general. Â I have never been to a show in the music hall so I don't know how those tickets compare, or if they are worth it.

They have Helicopter landing pads

Look at that photo. Â There are several buildings in there that should have never been tore down.

It looked really cool the other night, the lights were way more spaced out than they appear in DTO's picture.

However, they don't seem to be on most nights?

The size of the building is impressive from I80

I thought it was just a big "Morton Building", but I guess I never looked that close because I am worried about all those darn pigeons.

We went from this:

To This:

BK is closed for remodeling, and the signs are off of the bank of the west building?

How does all of this play in to the moving of Saddle Creek?

yep, That first date I posted was this Saturday... the day the tickets go on sale!

Is that an actual rendering of a southport stadium?

I do think the original $50 Million is a bit on the low side.

He could walk right in front of me and I would have no idea who he was.

You made your grandma wait out in the rain for 2 hours for you?

Nice Job! Â I still need to get over there.

Chuck Norris For Mayor I don't know what is more funny? 1. Â Chuck Norris is running for mayor of Omaha? 2. Â Chuck Norris uses spray paint for his election signs? 3.

The city of Omaha shows it as an alley with NO name.

Freaking Awesome Josh!

After the forum meet ended tonight at about 1:00 am... There was quite the line outside Barry O's for the portable hot-dog stand.

Brad- Jobbers' Canyon was listed on the National Register as it's own district before it was torn down. I am straining to see the similarities. I making the point that if someone tells me there are old ballparks all over the country, I could also say that there are old brick buildings over the co...

I WISH! Â I think they do a lot of pilot training also.

Its just as valuable as the Blackstone, Old Post office, Burlington station, Jobbers Canyon and on and on and on. You cried foul about Jobbers Canyon, every old city has or had a brick warehouse district. I do want a new Downtown Ballpark for Creighton and the Royals. Â The only reason I would suppo...

Also, Iowa Helicopter is in the process of purchasing another helicopter and having a new office in Council Bluffs to go along with their current location in Ankeny.

I don't like the idea of tearing down Rosenblatt, because it is so important in the history and legacy of Omaha... BUT....if they were to tear it down, that area would be great for a small-to-mid-sized amusement park. If they tear it down, I bet it would be part of the zoo. Â Besides we need a REAL...
