Kind of weird that people feel creeped out by this place. I think it's gorgeous and a nice addition to the metro. Then again, I'm Catholic so religious places don't bother me, I guess.

Holy wha! I never would have imagined moving a building of that size.

I absolutely love this concept.

Definitely Star Wars for me. For the Star Wars movies, I think Empire Strikes Back is hands down the best. Greg Empire will never be topped, in my opinion. Of the non-original trilogy movies, I think Rogue 1 is the best. The sequels (episodes seven and eight) I liked when I initially saw them, but ...

I'm a Star Wars fan. Star Trek doesn't do anything for me. I was born in 1973. The original Star Wars was the very first movie I can remember seeing. A lot of other f/x movies at the time just stunk by comparison. It took the rest of the Hollywood film industry about 15 years to catch up to George L...

I will say this about the Vala family, they invest a lot back into the farm every single year so that there is always something new to come back to. I was talking to an employee last year about that and he claimed that the Vala's clear about $2 million every season and put nearly half of it into dev...

edsas

If you have kids, you should definitely go. I think the place is fantastic. When my wife and I moved to Omaha in 2011, we heard a lot about Vala's but never went, despite having three young kids. We had a pumpkin patch in California we loved to go to and figured Vala's would pale in comparison. Whic...

I believe they are supposed to open an apple orchard this year. Maybe the new structure has something to do with that?

There is very little flat space in the park for people to actualy “do” anything there. If you think about it, aside from the slides and the large steps, you don’t do much in the park besides passively meander through the paths and look at the water. And that's a nice option to have, for people who ...

I'm with you, Brad. Leave GLM the way it is. Paving it over would be a colossal waste of money.

Been a tough decade for Nebraska-based HQs. I really don't see how this will do anything but decimate Sydney.

edsas

I don't think Mike Riley is going to right this ship. But the coaching carousel hasn't worked for Nebraska, either. What if instead of firing Riley, we don't extend his contract (any more than it already has been), but make one addition to the contract. A $1 million bonus for every Top 10 recruiting...

Did Oregon decide to take a nap? This was simply a case of NU digging themselves too big of a hole.. But yet, they still almost crawled out of it.. If you're a Husker fan, you have hope. NU competed big time in the 2nd half when they could have completely folded.. This is a loss that the coaching s...

edsas

Coach, that situation was totally preventable by NOT snapping the ball with ten seconds on the play clock when up by two scores. There are a lot of things I like about Mike Riley (his personality being one of the top aspects). But his game management drives me absolutely bonkers. I can't understand...

edsas

Yep. Defense is worse than I was expecting. Offense is about what I thought it would be. JD Speilman -- WOW! Arkansas State's offense might be a little better than I figured. I hope so. Diaco appeared to make some good half time adjustments. But that first half was just murder. I think Nebraska stil...

edsas

NU 45 ASU 17 Yes, Arkansas State is a decent Sun Belt team. They embarrassed Scott Frost in their bowl game to close out last season. But I think Riley has finally got this team in position to play with the top of the conference. I firmly believe Nebraska wins the West this year and will have the fi...

Been to Colorado Springs probably 2 dozen times. Father-in-law lives there. Familiar enough with it. Not what I'd call a vibrant hub of urbanity, frankly. Certainly a pleasant enough city with some truly spectacular scenery, but Omaha's vibe is way better. I only read the first page of the thread. G...

Natural attrition will ultimately leave today's progressives in power by default. It's the way of things. Enjoy a last gasp of conservatism for the time being. No offense 'grandpa', but you'll be dead soon enough (note that wasn't necessarily directed at you, Smucker, just your people :) ). I'd lik...

Seriously, I would love if they would just take everything out of Old Mill except the new Ameritrade HQ and Christ Community Church, and put a little semi-grid (like Aksarben Village) in there, and just start fresh. I think everything but those two structures do clear out in piecemeal way at first,...

edsas

This is why I don't like Ameritrade's design sitting in Old Mill. The design looks more urban-orientated to me, more fitting for a grid, imo. I say build high density, urban style everywhere and anywhere. Who's to say that over the next few decades, Old Mill won't transform into an urban enclave? T...

edsas

^Interesting (about Millard's grid). I always kinda wondered why they put the streets at that angle. Along with Grand Island, some major cities that have downtown streets that angle 45-degrees off the main grid include Denver, Houston, Dallas, Portland, and Minneapolis. It's not necessarily an unco...

This was moved to Projects never built since it was their attempt at a downtown project, if another project with different plans and designs show up we can start a new thread for that location. Fair enough. I was trying to remain upbeat about this horrible news and I didn't realize where Lot B actu...

edsas

I'd rather see them go to the Old UP site (former Wallstreet tower) and combine it with a residential tower/parking garage to make enough income to make it happen. I don't think anything over 6 stories would be appropriate for the lot B site. Best to keep the towers closer to the CBD core. I see th...

edsas

I heard Stothert on KFAB this morning. It sounds like LOT B in downtown is very much in play for HDR. It was one of 12 sites the city initially proposed to HDR. The issue with the initial site appears to be that HDR doesn't want the city to acquire any property on its behalf through imminent domain....

Actually, rewatching the video, the moment the Voice Over says, "not great, not horrible" -- within the first 10 seconds, that's your cue.

Not trying to disparage anybody on here, but how can anyone watch that video and not realize it's a parody the moment they scroll "New York: Mean" across the Manhattan skyline?

Awesome video.

Not to go too far off topic... But I remember in the 60's, Omaha radio stations would announce the market... Not the stock market, but the stock market...

Went to Colorado in July and, as I drove past North Platte on I-80, I was surprised to see a construction crane and iron framework tall enough to be visible over the treeline. Wondered what it was.
