She will be tough to beat this cycle. There are a lot of projects in progress along with GLM/HOA that are complete to tout. Any challenger, regardless of party, would need to show up with some pretty significant clout and vision to have a chance. Plenty of room to improve in areas, but I can't hate...

Best mayor in Omaha’s history, and it’s probably not close. Keep it going!

How in the bloody expletive did it take over 200 days to get to an INTERNAL candidate?!

The building is on the National Registry and some rich people have fancy apartments at the top. There is a 0% chance of it being torn down. Miss Jeneie In A Bottle is already hated enough, she would not allow that PR nightmare and city backlash. Lots of older people have an attachment to the buildi...

Nice! Looks like they have grilled pineapple - sorely missing at Texas de Brazil!

I’m hearing this secondhand but it’s from someone who SHOULD know: the former Charlestons at 138th and Dodge is going to become a Brazilian steakhouse.

Has NuStyle ever done new construction? Aside from the State Office Building lot, I think this is the most pitiable spot in downtown. This is begging for something decent across from The Rose. Highline phase 2 and they are finishing a new build on 24th and Howard right now. Ahh that’s right! I forg...

Don’t do it with transfers, then. Here’s your hotel bus route: Station A: The airport Station B: Somewhere along the mix of hotels on Abbott. Station C: 10th and Cuming Station D: 10th and Cass Station E: 10th and Howard Station F: 15th and Douglas Repeat. Look what I was able to do - give the exact...

“Just run buses or shuttles.”

This. The intent should be to get people easily from the airport to downtown. There are not developable opportunities due to jails, homeless shelters, a lake, and airport property itself.

Lower interest rates.
Lower inflation.
More businesses ditching full work-from-home.

We all knew it was only a matter of time before Lot B and D were developed. There is no need to have every lot of their own garage. Lot D is huge. I would rather build a large one to handle all the stalls from Lot B and D combined. This opens up the option I listed above to make Lot B a mixed use p...

NEDodger

Lot B is going to have a large parking component regardless, as it'll have to match the number of parking spaces lost due to the development.

Thread revival!

It's not. Gas stations end up making about three to seven cents a gallon off the gas.

Personally I thought the Mercantile made sense too, but with grocery being a thin profit margin industry maybe the rent is too much? From elsewhere on the board, there is supposedly going to be something going in North Downtown. So the most likely contenders are the Civic Site and 16th and Burt-ish.

NEDodger

That would be good news and continue the development that started when Mutual announced plans to come back downtown. Along with the other planned residences there should be added traffic in the area. Is the food court still open? I remember going in there about 7-8 years ago when I worked downtown ...

Nice it’s being done, but disappointing that this is the press conference. Was hoping for new construction.

NEDodger

I’m siding with 11th and Harney. 1. The recent soil sampling that was done, and 2. There already was kind of a release about the Civic site. For a press conference to be called, I’d have to think that entails something “new”. Edit: if it IS 10th and Harney (or the old UP site), it will be more than ...

It's not a secret anymore. They officially announced it as a Barnes & Noble on their Facebook page . Nestled in the former Best Buy space at Shadow Lake, Barnes & Noble will occupy an expansive 12,000 SF, and is currently under construction. Not sure if 12,000 SF is the entire old Best Buy ...

Egad. That Mahogany looks terrible. I understand that for like a 15-20 dollar a plate place, but I’d be embarrassed to go into something like that for what is a 100 dollar dinner. What were they thinking…? Yeah, I didn't realize that Mahogany was going to be in a regular strip mall building. Gives ...

Quite confident the city of Oakland will be staying in California.

Ground floor retail, half office space / half hotel. Assuming FNBO would have occupied the office space anyways. With the Woodman Tower coming online a few years later and us having both a 30-story and a 36-story by 1970, I wonder if there would have been more aggressiveness in building upwards?

I will if it’s short-term and there’s bad weather in the forecast.

Yikes. That's a lot of expensive decor to have to tear out and move, yes?

NEDodger

I don’t think you’re getting it though… so they’re going to tear down the existing, structurally sound multi-level garage so they can build some more garages. I’ve never been in it but do we know the garage is structurally sound? It’s been closed off for a while. Fair question and the only way this...

NEDodger

I’m missing something here.

A garage is being torn down in order to build new garages, that the city has to pay for?

Thumbs down from me.

I think the beginning of the downturn of Oak View was when Champps Americana went belly-up due to a corporate reorganization. It was always packed on Friday and Saturday nights, and people frequently went shopping if they had a 45 minute wait. Village Point didn't help matters either. That place ha...

They need to have banners and stand-alone signs in walkways talking up this expansion, at least by the time the Berkshire convention takes place. 1.) It explains why there's a mess everywhere 2.)

Hopefully the pleasant late winter allows for them to make a bit of a jump ahead of schedule.
