My only complaint with the project is that there is going to surface parking behind the building. It would have cool if they could have done something similar to the Sawyer Building and extend the residences up to Pierce St.

Brandi will be missed. She did a nice job telling the news and making a heartfelt connection at the same time.

Looks like most stations in Omaha are $2.09, while it has been $1.99 at the stations off of 24th St in CB for the past few weeks.

Anytime I see a subject of aerial photos by you Brad...I get so excited to view them. They are amazing and spectacular. This time was no different. Not that you were ever bad, but you have really grown as a photographer. Some of these shots make me think, WOW! All of the photos are crisp and clear. ...

I was going to say the same thing.

Final attendance for the series was 341,667 (3rd highest all-time). Average attendance for the 17 games was 20,098.

This has to be one of the nicest weather days for the concert in a long time. From the World Herald: A performance by Loggins, a forecast calling for a high temperature in the upper 70s today and an overnight low in the low 60s could attract a record crowd tonight, said Anthony Rappa, 30, of Omaha, ...

When we went to Denver 2 years ago, we took the light rail from out near the suburb of Morrison (where Red Rocks is located) to the Rockies' game downtown. It was great. We then traveled up and down 16th St on the free bus. Obviously Denver is much bigger than Omaha, but I think Omaha could learn a ...

One of the things I don't like about the Market Grille was when we went to the Plattsmouth store and ordered chinese. We decided to eat it there. We had to wait to be seated and they serve you like a regular restaurant. They kept pushing other appetizers and side items. I explained that we only want...

The crowd actually looked pretty big on tv. I was surprised, I figured that a lot of people wouldn't be able to make it.

I agree with you on all those points.

I wish the building wasn't so boxy looking, but I think it is an upgrade over the downtown rendering. For comparison: Downtown proposal: 16 stories 290,000 sq ft $152 Million Aksarben Village proposal: 10 stories 228,218 sq ft (with additional 18,000 sq ft of retail on groud floor for 245,000 sq ft ...

Both the apt and hotel towers have the 6th floor 1/2 complete.

Watching the game on tv last night....I was surprised how full it was in the 8th and 9th innings even though it was nearing 11 pm on a weeknight.

Also note the slight name change from Omaha Multisports Complex to Nebraska Multisports Complex.

I'm so mad I got there late and missed the stealth bomber. I was stuck in traffic about 20th and Cuming when I heard a roar and looked up and there it was! I couldn't figure out why the Direct TV blimp went so far up north until I saw the bomber. I was standing right near the CLink and heard it but...

skinzfan23

I didn't get a picture of it, but they also had the stealth bomber fly over at the start of the championship game.

Quite a sight: Stealth bomber flies over downtown Omaha

I could be completely wrong but I think it is just a concrete street and the black part is probably going to have brick covering it. I have seen them do a similar thing on Broadway in CB next to the sidewalk. They put asphalt down first and then lay brick over it.

skinzfan23

No one has mentioned this and sorry the picture is so bad, but they have had the Direct TV blimp circling the stadium. Last night there was also a second blimp as well:

It would be nice if they spruce it up a little instead of the dirt and dead grass that is there now.

I have always said that about the CWS games. I like baseball, but they are rather boring compared to AAA baseball or MLB. They have in game promotions and contests that make it a little more interesting. Sure they maybe can't do all the promotional things since it is an NCAA event, but it would be n...

9,300 in attendance on Saturday was shocking. Even though it was an "if necessary" game, I don't remember a single game with that few in attendance....ever. At least in the last 20+ years, anyway. There have been alot of excuses for the attendance this year between heat, The Euro, newbie ...

From the World Herald article today:

In the most optimistic projections, the pool will be installed at the multisport complex near Interstate 80 and Giles Road in late summer 2018, just before its projected opening that fall.

City marks two Capitol District sites for new downtown parking lots The two sites could provide more than 120 parking stalls for the project, which is under construction at 10th Street and Capitol Avenue. The lots are under the Interstate on either side of 10th Street, south of the Hilton and the C...

Looks great. Maybe they can build another one in the parking lot just to the east.

skinzfan23

Looks like they also have some banners on the south building as well, or are those something different?

If that is the building north of the cancer center....I completely agree.

Another great photo!

skinzfan23

Looks like that is really going to fill in that space. Great addition.

skinzfan23

They have been paving the parking lot to the east of Baxter Arena this past week. Hopefully someday that will be torn up and replaced with development. I hate all the parking out by Center St. now as it is. Maybe UNO should have built a parking garage on this land with ground level retail.
