As I was driving by the other day, I saw what appeared to be a 'West Dodge Expressway like' pier being erected to the south of the south parking garage. What's up with that? I assume we're not progressing towards separate drop-off/pick-up levels already.

Furthermore, corporate is preoccupied with New Jersey and Chicago at the moment.. neither of which currently have buildings to go to.

I used to always envy Iowa's seemingly more progressive atmosphere (seen from across the river at least).. casinos, marriage equality, medical marijuana, etc. But lately, WOW is wrong with these people? Leading the nation on abortion legislation, stripping gun permit requirements, mask mandate ban.....

How many employees did First Data and Fiserve have in Omaha separately before the acquisition? And how many do they have now? As to Fiserv numbers.. there were about 75 of us prior to merger. In other news, it's still very fluid and management is showing flexibility, but last date I got was now Sep...

Cloisters Midtown, first tenant is a MyPillow factory outlet store.

Cool... kind of a midwestern spin on the pencil tower.

I thought this was in Projects Never Built?

Sorry, don't stop by as often as I used to. :) Fixed those links above... for what it's worth (pretty crummy resolution). I've driven by since, not much changed... looks like they're planning on a spring opening now. EDIT: I just looked up that Facebook page... I guess they're having a 'drive thru o...

I'll second that... always hated the signage.

I would expect any UP move to be more like ConAgra... with mostly front office people affected.

TD Ameritrade is an entirely different situation. Sadly, that was simply an acquisition of customers.

A lot of big banks... with no presence in Omaha. Long overdue.

... a streak which of course began after their LAST loss to Omaha.

Stargazer

Ugh, that's disappointing.

Stargazer

Pretty much the same story for both Nebraska and Iowa... no one coming into the state... and what we do have, moving from rural to suburban (so Omaha/Lincoln continuing to 'grow' at a respectable rate).

Stargazer

I probably brought this up in the past before... but why isn't Dillard's/General Growth working out a plan to re-locate to Westroads?? This just seems like a complete no brainer. I fear we're going to lose Dillard's entirely from the Omaha market. The one, somewhat respectable department store we ha...

I'm surprised there's not a thread dedicated to the Mutual of Omaha Bank acquisition... seems like this could have some impact in several areas... another possibly being Midtown Crossing.

My team is moving to 6855 Pine end of this week ... in case anyone didn't notice, signage change has been completed throughout town.

It really is all about line play. It looks like we've got a solid one on the defensive side. However, our young offensive line obviously has a long way to go. We saw a few big plays, but NIU was largely winning the LOS. I sure hope things improve fast. Oh, and Pickering returns soon, ugh.

Stargazer

Just think of all they could have accomplished with all this private money being thrown at 'The Riverfront'.

I hope Gramps is right... and they are able to ram something through. It will definitely never make it past Omaha voters.

Hey, when's the last time Kroger built a new store in the metro?

Stargazer

Iowa has a million extra rural residents to drive Des Moines growth. Des Moines will out pace Omaha on that alone for decades to come.

As fast as that growth is however, they won't exceed Omaha's size in my life time. Suck it urbandsm. ;)

Stargazer

I would almost guess the BRT line would be more appropriate for Omaha-Lincoln... and show more demand than Westroads down Dodge.

Stargazer

It's going to all be about defense. They need to make a big jump from last year or we're going to be very disappointed.

The carts are somewhat of a pain for keeping in a garage... fortunately my Bennington home has a little side pad where I can keep them out of the way. I actually have weekly recyclable pick-up, but I usually only have enough to put out every other week. It's a little unfortunate that we're going to ...

I was at Dudley's Monday evening, meshing with our new 'blue' (aka First Data) Fiserv counterparts... couldn't help but think (again), just how awesome Aksarben Village has turned out. Monday evening, so many people walking around (is there a Monday discounted movie night for students? I was thinkin...

When Firserv bought them, it was speculated that office jobs could be lost. I doubt that the data center complex or Starwood would go away. First Data card business in Omaha is safe. That and merchant processing in particular, are what Fiserv is looking to get from First Data, first and foremost. I...

Boy, this was a long time coming.

(Thankfully) Eppley doesn't have nearly enough traffic to require separate arrivals/departures areas. Or would you like a sign over the door that leads to both?

Stargazer

Those are impressive numbers for Omaha, roughly half of Kansas City’s. Lincoln also has good numbers for its size, ahead of every metro in Iowa except Des Moines. Seems like Des Moines and Iowa city get the bulk of Iowa’s growth and then Cedar Rapids and Ames. But the rest of the states metro’s rea...

With signage.. and it's true, Tesla mobile service rangers continue to do most service wherever the customer requests they meet them. Also, in case anyone didn't know... Dingman is an 'official' Tesla body shop. They actually draw business from well beyond Omaha. https://dingmans.com/tesla-approved-...

I read up on the history of the light rail in SLC. The first line opened in 1999. According to the 2000 census, the SLC MSA had about 968,000 people. Omaha is right around there right now. Also, SLC's BRT lines didn't start until 2008. This is a bit misleading... SLC is a little different, in that ...

Nestled there along Bob Boozer.

Martinez doesn't need to improve at all.. that's a ridiculous assertion (his play is literally why he's received all the pre-season recognition). It's all on the defense (and Chinander... who I personally think, is the 'weak link' in this staff). The offense produced way more than enough to win many...

If I can drive a rear wheel drive electric car... I'm pretty sure your front wheel Fiat will be fine.

My wife says their stuff looks good... but is cheaply made.

Anyone notice the horrific concrete work done on West Maple... it almost looks like asphalt. I can't imagine it will survive a single winter.

I guess that explains the property tax obsession.

Let's not confuse folks here... the 7 million figure is when -further- extension of the north and extension of the south concourses occurs. ie After an initial renovation and expansion, fully extended north and south concourses are projected to happen once Eppley reaches 7 million passengers. The te...

Former colleague there. Just a rumor, like any other around here... could be nothing, but the hiring situation here is a well known. My team has had difficulty finding qualified people as well.. losing positions to our offshore presence.
