Hmm, you're probably right. It was nighttime and I didn't read Streets's article.

Plus I was trying to text and read from my Kindle, so I was a little too distracted to drive, much less pay attention to things on the side of the road.

I recently noticed that they painted the west side of this elevator. Looks pretty good.

'60s |expletive|. I personally won't miss it. That is history, my friend. What a waste to tear it down. Throw in some apartments on the top floor, mid level office, and bottom floor CVS/retail. Ha. I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic, but it's a damn box. There's nothing architecturally appealin...

At several corners I noticed they had installed what looked like the bases for new traffic lights. Is that what these are?

TitosBuritoBarn

What's a "slayor"? Did they mean "slayer"?

Thought you guys might find this interesting. The link below takes you to a site where you can put in any zip code you wish and it will show you from what zip codes people working in that zip code commute from.

Was down there tonight. It appears that several apartment buildings have been leveled. They were just east of the basketball courts.

That would be awesome! But...not for $1000. For that I expect to rappel down the Empire State Building, or the Eiffel Tower.

TitosBuritoBarn

I like how the article makes it seem like it's surprising that area residents are not disproving the rehab like they did the building of a CVS

TitosBuritoBarn

It looks like they are building an indoor playground at the one at 13th and I-80.

This is a pretty cool get for Omaha. I'd say another feather in our cap to becoming more urban.

Nitpicky I know, but the Scion they have available is not an "SUV" as the World Herald states, it's a boxy hatchback. It would be about as good for taking off road as the Prius next to it.

TitosBuritoBarn

I kinda like them now that they're all done. Definitely make a statement.

TitosBuritoBarn

Their owner is a domestic violence apologist, and they only hire people they deem "pretty" by shipping off pictures of potential hirees to a corporate office to be judged. I don't know about your first point, but many firms, whether they admit it or not, use physical attractiveness as one...

Even though it may be fun to drive a fast, cool car, we shouldn't ignore the fact that there is a lot of mayhem on the road that can be pretty dangerous.

A buddy of mine was in town from Minneapolis this weekend and we drove under that bridge a couple times. We both agreed the sculptures look like scrap metal that was just kinda thrown together. I can't figure out if I like or dislike them yet.

TitosBuritoBarn

Pfft, the driver of that car probably received more injuries than that pedestrian.

According to a CNN article today, despite Omaha having a financial crisis, the state of Nebraska has the LEAST amount of debt of any state.

It's only the out-parcels.

This would be a great time to redevelop that strip (Linen's and Things, Hy-Vee, Rec-Room).

TitosBuritoBarn

I bet if we vastly improved the system (more routes, nicer/fancier buses, fewer tardy buses, improved bus stops that include route maps and light boards giving information on the next approaching buses, etc) and then market the |expletive| out of it, I bet there would be a large growth in bus riders...

TitosBuritoBarn

It is? The right third of that rendering isn't there now. Unless you wanted a rendering of the |expletive| end of the hotel? ..... Uh, I meant I wanted a closer perspective to the portion of the building that is in the right third of this rendering. I'd like to view the rendering looking in a south...

Additionally, some colleagues from the Target I used to work at said that Target will no longer be building any new SuperTargets. None of the current ones are supposed to close, but its coming to a point where no new ones can profitably be constructed. That seems odd to me, as every SuperTarget I'v...

You'd think they'd show the rendering from the side that will be built and not the side already constructed..

TitosBuritoBarn

Really? I think it looks great now. I hate that wood shake stuff.

TitosBuritoBarn

Uh....didn't they close pretty much every one of their franchises here after only about a half year or so in business?

TitosBuritoBarn

A path! A path!

I love useless green space. I'm glad they are spending all that money on a brick patio with nothing to look at or do on it.

One of those little fountains they sell for peoples' gardens at home depot would even make his look better.

Was on the website yesterday and saw that every apartment is rented except for the two models.

What Irishmen is known for staying out all night long?

Have you ever seen a movie where the characters wanted to go to a certain nice restaurant, but couldn't, and had to settle for a less classy, gimmicky one instead. That's what I think of when I think of Pizza Ranch.

TitosBuritoBarn

Damm!t, I loved going there. I love their unusual pizzas.

I'd love to see this. Assuming you meant "July" 14th, that is the day my girlfriend and I leave to go scope out apartments in Albany.

You're moving to Albany?

TitosBuritoBarn

So far this is largely what you get when a bunch of 21st century suburbanites try to create a downtown; Do you have some inside info of the staff of Alley Poyner and them all being suburbanites? Man, I gotta move back downtown so I can become "enlightened." They are, afterall, the ones wh...

Tell me about it. All you nerds do is argue about the dumbest $hit. It's flipping annoying reading about something when 95% of the thread is a bunch of menstruating geeks arguing like women. But that's what message boards are for. We wouldn't have half the discussion we do if we just agreed on ever...

TitosBuritoBarn

I'd like it if it turned out like this. This In 'N Out occupies the whole lot, has a drive through, and has a small surface lot behind that it shares with the adjoining strip/office thing next to it. Add a patio area for a beer garden and this, IMO, would be a great Zesto's for north downtown. http:...

So far this is largely what you get when a bunch of 21st century suburbanites try to create a downtown; an abundance of free off street parking and completely useless green space. 12th street needs to be one lane in each direction with parallel or diagonal parking along the curb. Done correctly, yo...

TitosBuritoBarn

The building looks pretty nice to me, I'm concerned with its footprint. How much of that lot is going to end up being grass or parking? If any more that 30% is devoted to cars and useless grass areas, then screw this (unless they intend to use said grass areas for beer gardens, then I exempt). At th...
