I agree. The current terminal is well done (&I remember when it was built. Going to the airport during that construction was a mess) I just don't understand why the north and south gate buildings couldn't be expanded. I get the idea of having one security checkpoint and a single building fo...

Their claims are many. 1) It takes a large amount of manpower to moderate their comments section. 2) The number of comments has dwindles. 3) The number of obscene and vile comments has risen. 4) They feel the time spent moderating the comments could be better spent bringing "you" more loca...

They havent started yet but shortly after announcing the St Pete service they added Oakland.

I posted something like this last year. Here's an update from today. Talk about coast to coast. Just need Boston, Philly, Miami and/or Ft Lauderdale and a few others. I assume the SFO is for the berkshire meeting. Anyway, 20 cities, 23 airports.

They do like to tack on the fees and nickel and dime you for drinks/snacks. Also they want you there at least 2 hours ahead of time. I think my suitcase was $50-60 each way and a carry-on was $36. I compared them to Southwest to Tampa just the other day and Allegiant was about $120 cheaper You shou...

It sounds like it's part of the master plan. They said it was all demand driven. This garage was part of the baseline projects. Seems to have been in the plan all along so maybe it isn't part of some imminent announcement. If you look at the CIP link you see the proposed improvements. http://www.wow...

All right...someone here either does or used to work for the Omaha Airport Authority. Adding 2200 garage stalls and 850 rental spaces. Sure sounds like something big is about to be announced. Not necessarily a need for gates as much as more frequency and larger planes maybe? Just sounds like they ar...

We used to get dinner to go from Da Vincis. My wife laughed at me when I came home one night and said they had closed and I couldn't figure out why. "I don't understand why they closed. You could always get right in. There was never a line."

My wife has an IPhone 6 plus and they are right. Phenomenal pictures. If I get a chance I'll post some.

On the other hand my Samsung Evergreen cheap phone has taken some great pics too.

You know, I used to think we were missing out on not having sufficient population to have an IKEA. I think it was mentioned in another thread that they look for cities with 1-1.5 million people. But I hear running jokes about how craptastic their furniture is. Truth is I'll take NFM over IKEA any d...

This is interesting. Lincoln isn't listed and think where the rank would be if Lincoln was included with Omaha.

What would stop other businesses from finding a way to claim tax exempt status too? Two HDR folks I talked with recently would not confirm or deny they are moving to Tetrad Civic development. Their current lease is up in 2019, I believe one said. RNCyanide is correct they would NEVER move into Daly...

I think the proposed Woodmen relocation sounds fishy. I don't know how profitable the firm is (the OWH article only included revenue numbers), but it looks very suspicious that a firmly profitably company (regardless of being a fraternal order) who is in the business of making money would ask for t...

This isnt the first time a company moved from Omaha to CB. I remember a quote from the CB mayor years ago that went something like "Anytime we can (steal) a company from Omaha its great". The fight between KS & MO over companies moving between the two is different than OMA-CB. KS has O...

Meanwhile, proposals for Capitol Ave languish. Also, is it not possible for SOMEONE to say "Hey! Downtown Omaha/North Downtown/The Riverfront is ripe for new construction high rise residential." And then do it?

NovakOmaha

50% developer equity? Since when? Not doubting you but man that sounds steep.

I went to the web site and emailed and asked for the timeline. Never hurts to ask.

There is no reason that GRI doesn't have service to ORD, MSP, DFW and DEN, along with wherever Allegiant wants to go. That give GRI service in all four directions and to the major hubs. This airport should do a quarter of a million available seats outbound a year. GRI does have daily flights to D...

I have a feeling it was posted before. I just get cranky when I see what some other cities have done with similar urban areas and then think about the failure of North Downtown (so far). Of course no one can know what might happen in the future and certainly someone with vision and cash could come a...

Ok, time to make wishes for the new year in Omaha.... 1) New Downtown Fortune 500 Headquarters 2) Visible progress on Wallstreet, Civic Center and Shamrock 3) Enough with studies, concrete Streetcar plans. 4) Tear down Storz and build us a riverfront to be proud of! And Coyote scores at 10! Stuck t...

The location had to have killed it. Their food was good. Their staff was solid. It was out of the way and a pain to get to and get out of. You kind of need a solid lunch crowd to survive as a burger place, and it's mostly residential in that immediate vicinity. I pass the place daily. It's reall...

I remember talks of that, do you still have those renderings? I never had those but they were in the own so they could be found somewhere. I feel bad that I don't still have the owh I had for years that had a four page spread on the current location, showing garages where the baseball park and park...

I feel like we should continue the controlled burn on North Downtown in the North Downtown thread. Like it or not, I think this project IS North Downtown. When it Fails, so might the North Downtown experiment. Can't help but wonder what this forum would be like if they put the Arena near or in the ...

I feel like we should continue the controlled burn on North Downtown in the North Downtown thread. I agree. With regard to the Shamrock/District, if it does indeed happen and in the proposed form it will be a great connector between the arena area and the rest of downtown. If it does include housin...

Look at the Mutual project and Aksarben Village in Omaha, the Haymarket in Lincoln, P&L in KC and here in Detroit take a look at what's near Ford Field & Comerica Park as well as the proposed Arena District. They are all great ways of place-making around an arena. Also Columbus, Ohio. To see...

Coast to coast. Just need Boston, Miami, San Fransisco & San Diego.

I'd rather have one or two Apartment Complexes and a hotel that have great first floor restaraunts/amenities built by different developers (who may work together?) than having an open parking lot. If there is a developer that is actually capable and has a proven track record of large projects, per...

Most people here in Detroit and others I meet here in the east, when they find out I'm from Omaha and Nebraska ask first about Warren Buffett, then Mutual of Omaha and maybe Union Pacific. No one really brings up Cabellas. I'd lump Cabella's in with Bass Pro Shops. People know the names but really d...

Cabella's probably is as widely known as any brand to date but after wasting decades Berkshire Hathaway is finally doing some branding. I'd say it's pretty widely known these days.

I have never gotten a satisfactory response to this question: Why is it that there is no exit from I-29 to Broadway? That seems insane.

I was able to read it. This is my own opinion...it's typical "group think justify our existence" drivel. Again, my own opinion, development on the riverfront will take one or both of the following: A Hal Daub like politician and or someone with the money and desire to do it. Hal wanted the...

For what its worth I just flew the Southwest nonstop LAX-Oma round trip. Awesome. 3 hours to the West coast is just awesome. Full flight both ways. Anyway I talked to some of the people when I was checking bags. They said the LAX-Oma nonstop is temporary and ends this fall. BUT they said it returns...

They still advertise $22-25 plus NNN at Countryside... I don't see how they can stay competitive at that ppsq.. That's the asking price. Everything is negotiable. You get the right anchor that pulls in traffic and the price comes down quick. Also, the asking price on loopnet isn't really where the ...
