I don't really mind crazy hot like that. Anything but cold and I'm happy.

I guess this is the first time in recorded history we've hit 80 in February.

I've always felt that Dodge should've been 7 lanes (3 east, 3 west and a center turn lane) from downtown or midtown to 72nd. However, most folks on here disagreed with me. I remember a proposal many years ago to widen this section to 6 or possibly even 8 lanes. The idea was to expand it to the sout...

I don't think a tunnel is fiscally feasible. I lived down there in a condo for a few years and would occasionally walk the neighborhood north of there, but yeah, I did mostly stay south of Dodge because it wasn't great to cross. I think a pedestrian bridge over 31st St and Dodge connecting Turner Pa...

It is. Merged.

Drove by the other day and noticed some walls have started going up.

Nebraska Crossing owner, John Cook says USA Volleyball considering move to Gretna The developer behind the 2,000-acre Good Life District near Gretna said Wednesday he's close to a deal that would bring the U.S. Olympic volleyball program to his development. He also said he's attempting to lure a Na...

It seems like company names always shorten over time. Next they'll change it to "C".

It topped 60 degrees in much of Eastern Nebraska on Valentines Day. Such a sweet gift, and fewer calories than a box of chocolates. Managed to get up to 61 where I am at one point and stuck around in the 60s until from around 2:30 to 4:30. It's amazing that we have not had a high below freezing thi...

They are filming horizontal now! That's so much better.

I pretty much believe mother nature is a fixed reservoir, so when we have abnormal periods like now, we pay with an equal and oppositely abnormal period. Well this is payback for July lol What was bad about July? We had some massively below average temp days with one day around the 4th that was esp...

Reportedly per a Facebook group, Charleston's opened without a liquor license at their new location. There are issues because the new location is in the Village of Boys Town, which is dry. I thought Boys Town gave up the Heartwood Preserve land Yeah I remember something about them de-annexing this ...

I am really looking forward to the floating bridge opening again. For last year I have just been walking to dam then turning back and walking back the way I came. Over the last year I've been going all the way around to the other side of the bridge and then back. It's not looking like the lake will...

Here is some news. It was in the local paper and I could not find it online yet. The Decatur-Onawa bridge is going to be free as of December 1st. The states will have control of it on December 4th. 11 years later and now the time has come to start talking about replacing the bridge... https://burns...

It has been a while since I have been there but Pop n Doc's in Decatur is more than I expected when I first went there. Not a bad place to try https://www.facebook.com/popndocs/ Late to this a bit (found when searching for Decatur) but I used to go to Pop n Doc's all the time growing up since we ha...

BTW can anyone see my posts? I believe someone deleted something I posted the other day referencing a particular political figure and apparently that must have rubbed someone the wrong way. LOL There's no shadow banning here. It wasn't me, but we typically delete political posts that will only lead...

NWS Omaha only showing a 2" frost depth. Wonder how fast that will melt?

For comparison, NWS Hastings showing 33" while NWS DesMoines has none!

Frost depth is now 0 here too.

Walked around the lake today and it has filled in more with most covered with a layer of water. Still has a long way to go though.

One other thing too - there are other road extensions planned for around this area in the next couple years as well including a truck bypass. The Companion Projects section lists them all: 2019T-130 - Millwork Avenue - 11th to 13th Street; 2019T-132 - 12th Street - Millwork Avenue to Seward Street; ...

Not sure what it will look like.

Idea for Millwork Commons. Could we rebuild Izard Street to connect up to 10th and Cuming? I was just thinking it would be easier for a bus to cut through the area if this road was connected better. https://i.postimg.cc/VrmjHsyw/Millwork.jpg 10th and Cuming is set to be connected 11th and Izard thi...

We are also technically not even half way through winter.

We finally hit 50 again!

Who’s ready for Spring? Currently 49.6 degrees on my weather station in Millard. However, that’s probably a bit high with it being in the sun for now. Still, super nice today (and will be nice for several days). I had a spike to 48.4 with it hovering around 47 all afternoon. I was surprised when I ...

i see the signage is up on the mahogony steakhouse and the charlestons buildings which sit on the community garden and greenspace on the original project rendering. "I love it when a plan comes together" -some guy Was there something like that that was supposed to be north of Canopy Ave? ...

It looks like Charlestons has started their transition into their new space this week and advertising Monday the 29th as opening day in the new building. https://i.postimg.cc/30GzwG7G/9-DC7-D5-E0-C9-DE-4145-92-A5-7416-AF65-E433.jpg I saw on their website that it was showing the new location and Goo...

Bigger version of the site plan:

I'm wondering if this will be at Tranquility.

If the Pork industry pulls this off, would they be considered the weiner?

I mean Ground Hogs Day marks the beginning of the end of weiner.

I noticed that even overnight last night there was a steady melting with a good amount of water going down my gutters and in the storm drains in the street. Didn't realize it but it's been fairly consistently above freezing, just barely, since about noon on Monday. Yeah, my weather station shows it...

I've actually wondered why airports have remained unsponsored up to this point. They are highly visible, like arenas, that you would think brands might want to attach their name to. EXACTLY - seems like common sense to me. Naming rights that cost everyone else nothing. The last thing we need is mor...

I really hope he doesn't see his shadow. I need an early spring after these last few weeks.
