Maybe someone with a construction background can answer this question: Why do they remove all the shoring jacks on lower floors only to replace them later? They are doing it with this project and I also noticed this on the Hyatt Place. I think part of it is to remove the form that the concrete was p...

I think they finally took down the neon Food Court sign inside last year.

I was glad to hear in the KETV report that they are going to replace the windows with new energy-efficient versions with the same look. The views of the downtown skyline out of that building are going to be fantastic. Yes, the view will look amazing. Nothing able to build in front of it either with...

From the Nonpareil article about the city council voting on the development agreement. With council approval of the agreement, MAC Ventures is expected to purchase the fieldhouse and hotel grounds quickly. Good to hear, hopefully they can move quickly into the construction phase. This facility shoul...

There will also be co-working space for small businesses and a street-level restaurant. http://www.ke...

Wow, good progress. This is going to look fantastic coming down 10th St, or driving on 480. Thanks for the updates Coyote.

Is there a way to sticky the rendering to the top of the urban homepage? I remember it, but id like to go back and look from time to time. Same goes for any rendering, for that matter. They could all be grouped under "renderings." thoughts? I agree, that would be nice to have a rendering ...

They installed 10-15 more I beams on the apt tower today. It now almost stretches all the way to Capitol.

I saw this last weekend. Crazy that they are adding all those bays when there a ton of empty ones next to JCPenney. Hopefully they have all their tenants lined up already.

I was going to take an update photo but didn't get around to it. Thanks for posting. The building is looking classic.

Looks great!

I am not sure if 10th st is reopened yet, but yes, that does make more sense. They are working on the parking lots at the zoo and a few months ago, when I was there last, 10th St. was still closed.

I am not sure it is that high, but maybe equal to the 6th or 7th floor of the Hilton.

Slide the City is returning to Papillion on August 13 this year. Same location.

They are starting grading at the site as of yesterday.

Elephants go on display tomorrow! I am sure the crowds will be massive. Stay far far away on Sunday... partly sunny with a high near 71! I-80 will be backed up to Gretna! It was backed up on I-80 for 1/2 mile this past Sunday when it was 85. Hopefully someday soon, they will fix 10th st near the zo...

Looks like a ton more steel has arrived for the apt tower.

Also looks like they removed some of the temporary shoring jacks from the first floor of the hotel and have begun installing them on the 2nd floor.

They did get a great shot. So many times, teams have that long or longer and throw up a 1/2 court shot with 3 seconds left when they had more time to advance the ball. Nova = perfect execution to end the game.

Granted it means absolutely nothing but Jon Rothstein has Creighton #23 for next season.

Here is a photo of it:

Eileen's Cookies is set to open mid-April where Puerto Vallarta was. I haven't looked close enough, but I think they split up the former space.

lets hope they split that space up...it was a huge space, even for a restaurant.

CB is replacing its streetlights with LEDs. When white is 'green': Bluffs street lights to get makeover Comer said the LED lights provide a brighter, whiter light than the older high-pressure sodium lights. The LED bulbs last an average of 15 to 20 years compared to the 3- to 5-year lifespan of high...

Glad to see that building in use again.

skinzfan23

Thanks for the update photos. I meant to take some last week. The amount of dirt that they are taking away is impressive.

skinzfan23

I didn't get to watch the 2nd half, but it sounds like Nova owned it with a 25-0 run being part of it.

With that win, the Big East is guaranteed to have a better winning % than the MVC. Should finish 2nd of 3rd best for NCAA tournament winning %.

Earlier newspaper article said they hope to move in by late 2016. They would have to really fly to even have a chance at that.

Here is a design I saw on Facebook: I really like it but wish the First National building was a little taller. The artist said he wanted to make it taller, but the sticker needs to go above it. https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-9/12936695_10153389528271581_8675986069251554629_...

Before: They're already in production. Too bad. If you don't like them, you hate your state's history. After: Our mistake. It's no big deal to redesign them. I was thinking the same thing. Absolute BS. I also loved their explanation as to why there was no public input. Didn't have time to set it up...

No coincidence...when Doug plays well the Bulls win. Last night he finished with 15 pts and a career-high 9 rebs. He also tied a career-high with 3 assts. Bulls won and trail Indiana by one game for the 8th playoff spot in the east with 7 games to go.

Has there been any recent news about First Data that I might have missed? This is the only other recent news that I have seen: First National, First Data team up to offer ‘private-label’ credit cards If anything I would have thought this would give a boost to their business. But as mentioned on the...

Does this mean we will see progress on the hotel soon?

Lets hope so, originally groundbreaking was scheduled for fall 2015.

skinzfan23

Not many clues in the article, though it does sound like all the First Data employees have to move first and then the building may need to be reconfigured.

I wonder what UNO intends to do with the building. Is the new business building full?

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.
