Wow! I haven’t been to any of them in probably 15 years. That discrepancy is insane.

Even a 15-20 story tower would really fill in that gap.

Let's Pawn Stars this bad boy and meet in the middle - a nice 24-story building on the old UP site.

What no commemorative 1,867 footer!?

I like the cut of your jib!

If you listen to the interview with the commissioner it's sounds like SLC is a shoe-in for the next expansion. He particularly mentions the would be owners having an assist of the governor. Regardless of how unlikely of Omaha getting a franchise here I can't help but think of the potential 3.2 bill...

Yeah.....we need a 30-story on that old UP site.

As amazing as this would be, I don’t see how Kansas City wouldn’t beat us. Twice the population, better TV market…. I mean, even KC would be a win for us - 2.5 hours for a NHL game? Heck yeah.

NEDodger

Ah, that sucks. I liked Weathers a lot.

NEDodger

Good riddance.

NEDodger

…..?

I’d say 30 percent higher than estimates is a steep increase…..

Has anyone been to this Ballpark Village in St Louis? Seems like an interesting idea as a mixed-use entertainment district that is sports themed. This could be a great way to develop Lot D and pull the two stadiums together. https://www.stlballparkvillage.com/ I have. The problem here is in St. Lou...

Kyle Peterson was on 1620 yesterday morning. Very interesting conversation but it sounds like they didn't want it in Omaha. Kyle says Omaha wants more of a CWS Hall of Fame and not the the full College Baseball Hall. Interview: https://p.ftur.io/koznam/21876 Who is the "they" in this case...

The amount of negativity of the Grow Omaha FB page makes Reddit look like a glee club. It's seems the majority of comments shat on about every project announcement or update. The least negative I've come across is the airport upgrade. There's a huge amount of miserable people here who don't want an...

Sheees this things almost in Carter lake. I’m all for it though the infill will come in do time. A circulator may help in the mean time. I love they optimizing the river front to this extent. The drive down the string-of-pearls will be impressive in a few years. I challenge you all to walk from Har...

I've always been happy with the parking situation since they built that North Garage a couple of years back, but flying out yesterday, both garages were completely full. That's the first time I've seen that, and its not even a school break time. How exactly are the planning on growing passenger tra...

Clearly you haven’t seen Robert Young do math.

The “it’s only 2 more gates!” thing kills me. I could understand it if there were too many flights per gate and you couldn’t get a seat in the terminal because you were waiting for the previous flight to board….but that’s never, ever the case. Singular point of security, plenty of restaurant/retail ...

mrsticka wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 10:37 pm But how did you get into the mall itself? Through one of the stores?

Yes - if I remember right, they had "formal" entrances as well similar to Oak View/Westroads today.

NEDodger

Wow, that's a cool photo. Can you tell what vantage point it's taken from? I'm familiar that the original mall was that strip that ended up between Sears and Brandeis/Younkers/Target, but I never knew it was more or less a strip mall with each storefront accessible from the outside... So was there ...

i wanted to read what was written so that i could catch up- I started 11 days ago and just now finished. And i still have no clue what i am supposed to get out of all of this.

NEDodger

Ahhh right on. I thought you meant sell the current SOB land and then have the state office rent out the Hines building.

NEDodger

I pulled this from another thread because the topic invariably gets us off topic and I couldn't find another dedicated thread. As long as the State Office Building (appropriately referred to by just about everyone as “the SOB”) has existed it’s been derided. And appropriately so. But to remove it a...

Really hoping we get a direct to Boston soon.

Out of curiosity, has there been any mention of the official name of the library? Will it remain as Do Space or Omaha Central Library?" Or would they name it after someone like....Charlie Munger Media Center? Any bets on Jean Stothert Public Library? Maybe posthumously. If worthless Mike Fahey...

NEDodger

One of the earlier Crossroads designs had included a library which I'd assume was to be the new central library. Granted there have been different developers involved but I have to wonder if the delays with Crossroads and then the urgent demolition of the Clark Dale for Mutual/streetcar contributed...

I believe you get this as a free service if you pay for the “Perks” subscription? I don’t have it so I can’t confirm though. With a lot of larger families out west, possibly more subscriptions to this which drives the Aisles usage?

134 stories in OKC!?!?! WOW

Like, I understand three skyscrapers at 45 stories a pop. But this....? Nonsensical.

Especially since it was a one intersection block. Go 500 feet to the left or right and you’re back to where you were planning to go. Not quite the Berlin Wall.

NEDodger

Yeah, okay, I guess I have gotten a little carried away with this whole mall thing. It's just that I have these thoughts and ideas in my head and I can't keep them bottled up or they'll drive me crazy. I just hate to see what's happening to malls, how they're empty and dying and there's nothing I c...

I saw all of this on social media this morning. My first reaction was: 1. Where is this restaurant? Up on North 72nd Street? His posting included no address or link to a web site or Facebook page that I recall. 2. He said he had no investors. So I guess he wants John Q. Public to become his partner...

So…….like, what’s the thing with malls?

Doesn't sound like the Omaha location of Muchachos is doing so well. The owner, Nick Maestas tweeted out a gofundme saying the only thing keeping the Omaha location afloat was the Lincoln location. It is everyone's right to solicit go fund me money as long is it is within their TOS, and of course d...

I know several people that go to the nail salon in that strip due to friends, family, etc - they are not thrilled. Well, I hope they don't take their family to eat at the Denny's on 84th. Otherwise, one of their kids may inquire what the Adam & Eve store next door sells. Copies of the Book of G...

There’s a few, but personally, it’s just ugly as |expletive|. I like it just fine. The ugliest building in downtown Omaha in my opinion is the Woodman. Even then, I'd be in no rush to tear down anything when we still can't even fill a handful of lots. This. Safety/asbestos-type concerns? I get it. ...

I know we have a few people in the construction world here. What becomes priority over there winter months when building a high-rise? Should we expect more work done on the core, more of the parking garage columns? Does steel work begin so you don’t have to pour concrete in the middle of winter? Jus...

Interesting adaptation. My biggest hope (if this version gets off the ground) is the possibility of connecting residents with 16th St. The western side of CPP is a block long closed off brick wall. I know we've kicked around DT grocery in numerous threads and locations but consider a redeveloped we...

Per Grow Omaha, it sounds like this is going residential? 400-some units?
