the residential units could create more traffic; and property values might drop in area neighborhoods, said Dorothy Wick, who lives at 38th Street and Avenue C. Dare I even Comment Dorthy????!!! Okay I will. Here is my stab at it. A) Yes more residential units WILL create more traffic. What o...

I will be sad to see the buildings torn down along Cuming though. Â Assuming that is what they will do. Â Those buildings have some great potential. Â I think North Downtown will lose it's identity if they tear too many old buildings down. Â (No. DT contains some of the oldest in Omaha if I am not m...

I heard Slosburg is looking for items (coffee house, dry cleaning, etc.) that the residents of their apartments may want a bit closer.

It took them how long to figure that out??? Â Maybe they could actually build the apartments with ground floor retail to begin with.......

The best part if I remember correctly that this is done with private money and not through a govt. subsidy. Â This speaks volumes about at least some developers view on the future of this area. Â When these sell, other developers will follow.

midtown charlie

correction. Â This is nowhere near Little Italy. Â Grace is 6 blocks north of Cuming. Â Is this part of the North Downtown redevelopment area. Â If not it is near the north end of it. Â Good to see some nice new housing coming in that part of town. Â Hopefully this is the first of many new developme...

Looks like the city is in the process of acquiring property with plans to demolish but I only scanned this one. It good to see action on these properties.

Very cool infill development that is currently awaiting city council approval. Â I think it looks like a very nice row house development. Â We also need the infill. Â I could be wrong but this should be just south of the area generally considered Little Italy. Â Maybe Grace street is part of that di...

Sweet!!! Â Thanks!

I thought this article on the countries worst commutes was interesting. http://promo.realestate.yahoo.com/americas_most_expensive_commute_cities.html It's often said that the trip to work can kill you. But if you live in Houston, what really takes a beating is your wallet. There, the average commute...

With that said, I hope more small developments like this pop up around Aksarben Village. not me!!!!!! I actually hope no more small developments LIKE THIS pop up around Ak Village. Â I hope all new areas from now on actually blend in with the development. Â Call it sour grapes or whatever. Â I wil...

Congrats!!! Â

Cool shots!

midtown charlie

whatever we do......let's look at all our options just like our leaders did back in the late 40's.....oh wait they were fined for breaking some laws (in the name of progress of course) when they dismantled the red car line in Los Angeles. Â How much was that anyway oh yeah $1. Â Adjusted for inflati...

you mean they've dumbed it down even more????

What's up with the Gated Community aspect of this. Â I didn't realize that Dundee was such a hotbed of crime. Â Maybe they should rename this development Dundee Ridges Light. Â This is for people that want to pretend they live in Dundee without actually having to do so. Â I am dis-liking this develo...

Beauty is relative right???? In other words what one might find beautiful someone else might find ehhh okay. Â To me, (my opinion of course) the sand hills is one of the most beautiful places on earth......yep........on earth.........I just love it. Â Every time I visit I think WOW again. Â It is sa...

I would agree with you.....because that is very common for one to scoff without offering a better idea, but Mr. Kopiaz has this group in Omaha. http://www.omahastreetcar.com/

While I'm not a baseball fan in general, when I move back to Omaha I could see myself walking from my DT loft over to the north side to catch a game every now and then. I think many other non regulars would do the same. I think this is part of the reason the South Omaha folks are so against the mov...

I hate to say it but all of the let's tear down Rosenblatt people sound alot like the people who said let's get rid of the street cars, the Hotel Fontenelle, Woodmen tower, the old Post Office.........Just an observation.

midtown charlie

Please explain why the current location is horrible.

midtown charlie

Off subject but this comment from DTO reminded me of something. I've also come to love not owning a car. With the extra money I can afford a bigger place and afford to go out more to the things I wanted to live close by in the first place. Why is this so obvious while politicians seem to make the af...

The large house that was there was converted into apartments. Â It could have been a cool house until it burned down a year or two ago. Â

Not sure if it was stated but they are in the process of building another twin building facing this one. Â They will share the same driveway it appears.

midtown charlie

.........especially if there are four square blocks of dead-space. Â (that was the biggest killer for the old Jones Street Brewery / Breckenridge Brewery.....too far from the old market.) Â I agree with Streets on this one. Â This area is going to be a neighborhood for some people and a destination ...

midtown charlie

amen wags!!!!

midtown charlie

oh yes, and Phoenix (the new 5th largest city in the country) is just swimming in amusement parks....oh wait they have castles and coasters......which is in par with funplex. Relax people, your third eye is the same size regardless of what Omaha does or doesn't have.

midtown charlie

what if that same 78 year old said she was all for the move because she didn't want to go all the way down to South Omaha. Â Would she then be enlightened? Â There is wisdom with age and there is a sort of carelessness (in a good way) with youth. Â Each should be celebrated and not chastised. Â BTW...

midtown charlie

but doesn't a 78 year old have just as much a right to an opinion as does a 21 year old?

Yeah this just ticks me off!!!! Â Let's see it was the nightlife (partly) that attracted them to Dundee but now that they have kids anybody who makes noise after 9:00 is a hooligan!!! Â Give me a break. Â It happens once or twice a year and it keeps the neighborhood young and hip. Â Those hooligans ...

The new ballpark - now more centrally located with quick access for all and attracting eyeballs off Interstate 80 I don't know I am still scratching my head at that comment. Â Why would south west Omaha be anymore centrally located than southeast Omaha. Â I am not sure it would be that much more th...

Thanks everyone.

midtown charlie

Okay, basically I used the condo tour as and excuse to get out and photograph the downtown. Â No inside shots per say. Â Just some different vantage points from being inside the buildings. Â Here is a sample. http://i.pbase.com/g6/44/611644/2/78909803.n1tZ1FYG.jpg The rest are located here: Â Â h...

I noticed workers last weekend. Â I just assumed leakage problems. Â

I think this is the same building anyway. Â

midtown charlie

just went again. Â Food and beer were top notch!!! Â Glad to hear they aren't closing!!

midtown charlie

Here is info on Zone 5. Ground floor retail and 1-2 floors of office.

http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/departments/c ... sc/622.pdf

oops correction made. Â That would be a lot of office!!

midtown charlie

Here is more detail on the office and retail sector. Â Buildings should be between 2-4 stories.

details on the residential portion of the development. Â This part is being developed by Broadmoor. Â It has maps that detail where the homes will be. Â There are also some elevations.

The city is adding the Swartz Printing Company Building to list of historic buildings and is applying for national status. It is at 714 South 15th. Here is the link to the City council agenda. It contains pics of the building. http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/departments/city_council/agendas/ID%2004_17_0...

Looks like Omaha is adopting the Elkhorn master plan as part of the master plan of Omaha. Â
