Re: Mall of the Bluffs

I three story mall where Bass Pro ended up would have done wonders.

They probably could still pull off something at South 24th and highway 275. The Westroads and it's sea of parking is 1.15 square miles and the lot where the drive used to be is 1.83.

New Haven, CT has one of my favorite alleyways: google map streetview

When you look down the alley, it's looks like this (some of the paint is on the parking garage in the distance): https://image.shutterstock.com/image-ph ... 297960.jpg

Re: Fremont Commons (Mixed Use Project)

In reviewing the posts here it looks like 14 of these townhomes out of the 92 planned are to open in 2019. Known as Gallery 23 Brownstones. The original development called for 220 total units. I am not finding any new data for the remaining units. https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/fremon...

Re: City Skylines (Game)

I tried it for a while. The only way I could enjoy it was to add the money cheat. Moving from Sim City 4 to Skylines is a letdown. But if you are comparing it to Sim City (#5) then it's at least 100x better than that.

Re: Your Thoughts on Development Projects in Omaha

Beware the parking podium. They seldom greet pedestrians at street level. Instead it turns into a canyon of parking entrances and concrete flower pots. If there are to be parking podiums, then a stipulation about street-level amenities must be included. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/livable-city/...

Omaha is becoming another Blah on the map. Any of hundreds between nowhere and somewhere you'd rather be. If sprawl is the game, then offer something worthwhile. Denver at least has mountains. Dallas has better weather. If Omaha wants to succeed, we need to up the game. We need to distinguish oursel...
