Wow, that shot was impressive, I might try that in my upcoming Y league.

Good move by Mo to get a feel for what everything is like. He will be back in blue for the Bluejays next year though.

They have been moving the dirt by the MUD building off and on for the past 2-3 weeks. I wonder how many truckloads of dirt have been hauled away between here and the Pacific St garage site.

Great before and after pics. Would be even better if they tore off the corragated metal siding and changed the paint color or clean it off to expose the natural brick.

Wish I was still working downtown.

The CB police chief recommended the Woodbury site for the new HQ. The land would be the cheapest to purchase out of the 3 sites.

City Council approved the replat of land, dividing it into several smaller sections so it can be sold to develop the Fieldhouse and Courtyard hotel.

Nice, that is what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.

According to KETV's story, demo is going to begin in July with completion of the project scheduled for next summer.

I love those buildings, especially the one on the north.

It is listed as a six-story garage.

Leon announced last night that he is signing with Colorado St after one year at Trinity Valley Community College. He averaged 11.1 points and 7.2 rebounds a game at Trinity.

Good luck to Leon.

Ferris wheel, food trucks, party bungalows coming to 10th Street for CWS, Swim Trials Sounds like they are starting this year with only 3 bungalows for rent. There is also going to be a 100 ft ferris wheel to ride for around $5. For the first time, MECA will open the doors of the CenturyLink Center...

Looking good. In the first picture, the space between the apt building and the hotel looks huge.

The video is ok, but I don't get the :27 mark where it says "visit nice" and shows an abandoned building with broken windows. (I think it is the Burlington Postal annex) but I wouldn't highlight that building in a video, at least not until it is renovated. Lol did you actually watch the w...

Creighton played 2 of the Final Four teams this year....granted they lost all 3 matchups, but the Big East is having a great showing this year.

They are pouring the cement for the second floor this morning.

That south east corner isn't shaping up like the renderings..... :what: I was thinking the same until the last few days when they installed all the pylons on the south part of the hotel building. I was wondering if the building was going to go further south. I am with Brad on this one, I just think...

Marlon Stewart has decided to transfer....no surprise there. He will be a good player in the Valley. Good luck to him.

This should open up another scholarship that hopefully we use for a big man.

Great comeback try by the Jays. Closed a 15pt deficit down to 6 at the end (Harrell even hit a 3 right after the buzzer as well) Finish the season 20-15. Great game for Groselle: 22pts (17 in the 2nd half) and 8 rebs Huff: 18pts and 11 rebs Watson: 9pts and 9 assts Can't wait for next season. Tough ...

Glad that we got 20 wins, but this season looks like it is over.

skinzfan23

Creighton was off to a good start and lead by as much as 12 with 8 min to go in the first half, but since Huff picked up his 2nd foul, things have started to get bad. Jays down 37-38 at half. Toby Hegner is bringing absolutely nothing. Hopefully Huff can stay out of foul trouble, we don't need Toby ...

What color will the numbers be? The sower will get lost behind the numbers. One thing for sure...there will always be people who hate it, no matter what. The numbers/letters will be black. I agree, I think the sower is going to be hard to see. You are also right in saying that no matter what design...

Sounds like BYU's best player, Kyle Collinsworth had the flu yesterday and is questionable for tonight's game. For the Jays, Zierden is still out and Malik Albert is out as well.

They are expecting a crowd of 15,000 for the game.

I think it looks horrible. So far I am not the minority according to the World Herald poll: Nearly 59% don't like it. 30% think it is ok. 11% like it. I think it will look much better with some numbers on it though. I wonder why they didn't release a rendering of one with numbers on it, it would hel...

Being a critic of officiating all the time....the one thing I didn't like at the end of the UNI game was that Wes Washpun traveled before he made the turnover. You are not allowed to move your pivot foot and he clearly slid it before throwing the ball away. In hindsight, that non-call helped A&M...

Sounds like they are having the event again this year in Pacific Junction. It is going to take place on April 9.

What a shot for Wisconsin to win at the buzzer over Xavier. And what a collapse for UNI, up 12 with a :44 to go and lose in double ot.

Most of the stations in CB were $1.86 yesterday....there are a few near S 24th st that are cheaper, but most are $1.86 and will probably be $1.98 tomorrow. They always seem to lag a day or two to price increases.

I love watching Gold Rush. I had President's Day off the year that it started and they were having a marathon all day. I just got into the show back then. This is the only show on cable that I like to be home to watch. There is just something about a few guys chasing their dreams and living out in a...
