Lol, what exactly about the cloisters tells you he ‘cares’ about the land?

Louie

Hmm, I wasn't expecting single story ranch style connected housing here.

Yes, they've done a great job keeping the menu and food quality the same while making investments in the building as well.

Stothert mentioned permanent two way bike lane on north side of harney today at YP Summit. So it's going to be switched from the south side of the street to the north? Is there a reason behind that? The streetcar goes along the south side on Harney. Ope, that was an oversight on my part.

Allegiant was doing well in Omaha and they were considering it for a future base. Allegiant was set to announce OMA-FLL last winter, Southwest got wind and added it instead at 1x weekly and scared Allegiant away. They are doing the same thing with 1x weekly OMA-AUS. Southwest is sending a message t...

Driving along tenth looking to the west, this thing will be dang near blocking the CPP from view in no time.

While I feel bad that they are getting evicted, it's just business. The strip owner sees an opportunity to fill numerous empty bays at once and probably generate more revenue than they are making now. sucks that they lose their spot after 58 years, but the owner kind of sounded unhinged on their so...

Omg, the 15 minute conspiracy theorists are insane.

Don Carmelos over Lighthouse is a joke.

Wonder if Jaz plans on playing pro ball.

I think next year will be telling with Tominaga and Allick gone, if they can put together another 20 win season I think Hoiberg will have proven himself here.

A&M averaged 28.4% from 3 all season and then shot 56.5% last night.

They started great, but A&M can’t miss now.

Not to mention that every single game is televised. Back in the Valley maybe 5-6 per year were on tv and usually ESPN, which really sucks anymore. The amount of money that CU gets just from tv deals makes it worth it financially, but exposure to the eastern US is amazing as well. Creighton's name r...

Ain't no way Cal is out. Unless he leaves by choice. I'd wager a bunch of his assistants are on the way out though.

Vitruvius wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 1:27 pm Yes, it's a ridiculous statement. But what is even more ridiculous is a civic environment that relishes the demolition of history and embraces the practice of scorched-earth urban development.

When was the last time this happened in any scale?

Louie

Creighton holding on at the moment after being up 20 at one point. Currently up 14 with a little under 3 minutes left.

Why can't it? Not that it's good for our particular environment, but we know things are and have been changing for awhile now.

I take the bus by this all the time. It’s cool to see it rising but they need to do something about pedestrian crossings. I cross 72nd and Dodge and in the morning people are oblivious and will take a right turn when you’re standing right by them with the crossing light on. When the library is fini...

I think it's important they pack as much density into Lot B as possible. A mix of retail, entertainment, and hospitality. Even if they have to displace most of the parking across the street in Lot D. Lot B can be a cash cow for the city if built right. All the CWS fans will be looking for a place t...

Baylor Scheierman makes the AP All American 3rd team, Kalkbrenner receives Honorable Mention.

Mayor said on Grow Omaha this past Saturday they are holding on to this lot. Short-Term it may be a laydown yard for the Streetcar Construction. Long term they want the "Right Project" with decent height. So far the only interest was from an apartment developer who wanted to build a small...

Not really the right thread, but is this the first year that both the womens and mens teams from Nebraska and Creighton have made the dance? Not 100% sure, but I have read elsewhere that this is the first time all four teams are in the NCAA tourney at the same time. Keep in mind that with the Huske...

During a break in the uncut GO, the Mayor mentioned they want to see a full service hotel like Omni. Omni is building in conjunction to convention center business and they build tall; I hope they become the third anchor and build something at least as tall as the Marriott. This is the second time y...

Back to the garages talk. I don't think they will free up any currently available spaces until the development fills up. I know there was an office building planned next to HDR in the space that currently has the sand volleyball courts. Seems like that might have fallen through but I imagine they w...

How big is Cubby’s? They seem to have a decent selection of items, a meat counter, and they’re successful. And ridiculously expensive Never claimed it was cheap, but somehow they’re making do. Petrol is more profitable than groceries. Is it? My understanding is that most gas stations make their mon...

That’s a depressing one. Yeesh.

I realize our consecutive sellout streak is a statistical joke at this point. Someone, somewhere is buying tickets for probably a few dollars a piece to keep this going. Understanding there is some logic to reducing seat count to improve comfort and fan experience, there also doing so because they ...

Hopefully Hoiberg's hometown ties and solid paycheck are enough to keep him around if Rhule leaves. I’d say his hometown is Ames. I realize he was born in Lincoln but I don’t think he was there very long as he grew up in Ames, which is why his nickname is, The Mayor. Well at least that's a school w...

If it's CPP that's less exciting. It's obviously good for the core, but just less splashy.
