How about hanging some nets off the bridges and opening up batting cages or a quad copter park where kids can fly their quad copters outside, but inside of a giant netted area.

Great examples. I'm wondering, is there anything in our city laws or building codes that prevent a permanent structure from being built under the interstate?

The 108th and Q location has a sign up advertising the space as available where the old liquor section used to be.

Except double the width, remove the stop lights, and the vehicles are traveling at 60MPH.

Or are you saying to eliminate the interstate entirely and make it a city street?

bigredmed wrote:accurate cost figures, honest statements of who pays what

Exactly.

Was there ever an actual cost assessment done? Where did the 150M estimate come from?

Out of Growler USA, Omaha Tap house, and Local Beer Patio Kitchen (a.k.a. the three new craft beer bars in West Omaha), I rank them as : 1) Omaha Tap House - good beer selection and really good food 2) Growler USA - amazing beer selection but the food is not as good as Omaha Tap House (still good fo...

It looks like Vis Major, Pint Nine and Kros Strain are all progressing nicely on their construction. Hopefully they will be open next month!

The bus doesn't even run after 7pm. It's 30 minutes between buses. It would probably take me at least 2 hours to take a bus to the airport (including a 30 minute walk with my luggage to the closest bus stop), or I could just drive my car and be there in 40 minutes. You also forgot to mention taxi se...

Yeah. And inside they moved the products around, painted the walls, and vacated the old liquor section of the building. Wondered why they have all vacated the liquor store. Everything I read, that's a huge money maker for stores and places like HyVee keep adding larger and larger liquor stores. The...

You forgot 204th and Farnam

Is this development considered to be successful? There's not much going on here and lots of open land. I don't understand how the Boys Town development can progress if this area of land cannot be filled.

At least they have made some road repairs to 132nd recently.

Thoughts?

Is there a timeline that is out there for when 168th and 192nd will get on/off ramps for I80?

Also, who decides this? City, county, state?

The announcement: http://www.omaha.com/money/facebook-to- ... 0baa4.html

Looks like 100 or so workers after it is completed.

Then, the theater will close. Maybe it's me, but I think the theater can stand alone. Movie theaters are becoming a destination, an evening out all by themselves at least for me. I can't get theater popcorn in my living room, for example. I take it you don't go out to movies often? The AMC at Oakvi...

Purely speculation, but I wonder if one of the local craft breweries (NBC, Lucky Bucket, etc) will take over this lease, and use the place as a tap room/supplemental brewery. Lots of space, but convenient if you don't have to purchase brewing equipment. It's a pretty cool building, but the reality ...

Meanstreets is legit. I have followed and contributed for years and his followers are real. He posts everything that comes across the scanner so there's a ton of good content, so that helps to draw ppl in. It's also very timely.

I don't know, El Parian was Mexican, and I think Maria's was Spanish.

I think you mean Latin themed. Spain is nowhere near Mexico.

Southwest offers direct flights to both of those cities. For the direct flight to BWI, there are 2 stops

Hmmmm, I went to that map URL. Nice

There's a bug though, when deselecting the non-stop checkbox, it still only shows the non-stops.
Maybe not a bug, but it bothers me.

Closing this Penney's is going to just kill that little mall. Gordman's has a store there too. Only thing that will keep it alive is the HyVee. Too bad Just curious, do you go to that mall often? I don't notice many people going into JC Penny's, but I think Gordmans gets some decent foot traffic. I...

Sadly, West Maple is all 45MPH now. I caught myself flying by everybody (after having not driven West Maple in YEARS) and noticed it's all 45MPH.

Needs some cornice/entablature. What's with all these flat brick walls? (I know, I know, it's for cost) I think if you look closely the brick is slightly stepped down on the top. Tough to tell for sure though. I know it's just a rendering, but it looks like that steel (aluminum?) cap they put on th...

There's actually nonstop flights to Orlando now. No need for connections anymore.

I don't know anything about any of this, but the DC Assessor website is slow to update sales, at least for residential sales.

Are there a lot of Gordman's employees flying in and out of Omaha? I know my company takes full advantage of nonstops in/out of Omaha.
