funny thing about that is for the most part the Jays own them....I believe the Jays are 5-2 or something like that vs Uconn.

I still haven't been b/c I think its crazy to spend $20 on a cheeseburger combo, but since this one is opening I might have to.

What are everyone's thoughts on Five Guys?

skinzfan23

Its crazy how well the Big East has done in the postseason in recent years. They have won 4 of the last 8 years that it has been played.

Did you take that? Thanks for the update! This seems a bit ahead of schedule. Maybe they will start installing the glass by the summer.

skinzfan23

Hopefully they got the fire under control first.

I only got .05”.

New here. Any thoughts when they might expand/increase height of the crane? Always loved tower cranes rising equal and above taller buildings in a skyline. I would imagine that prob won’t be until summer at the earliest. They still have quite a we more floors to go before they would need to do that...

skinzfan23

Great shot. Really shows the diversity and different generations of buildings.

Can’t wait

Ciao..LiO…Peace

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Machine Shed is a pretty good restaurant. I wish we could get a Lambert's here though ( I could use some rolls thrown at my face)

skinzfan23

Not my photo That's Roger Humphries photo taken from the Omaha Press Club. Thanks, I couldn't remember, I saw it on Facebook. Good photo other than the shadows on the window. I remember trying to take similar photos from inside the Landmark building and it is tough, but with a little know how and p...

Not my photo but yes they did go up another floor yesterday evening:

The existing stores might get the Casey's treatment too where they'll remodel some sites and turn them into Cadillacs, and the others will just get new signage and otherwise be left to disintegrate. That is so true. There are some of them that only had the name change but the store operates just as...

Update on the canopy project:

skinzfan23

Wow, another mid-rise residential conversion. That would be great, but as for the chances of a high or mid-rise new residential tower getting built that sucks.

skinzfan23

Yeah thats what I am hoping for, And they also look cleaner/more organized than Kum and Go. The Kum and Go in Bellevue on Fairview, has has a broken piece on the canopy for at least a year and last time I went inside it was cluttered and dirty.

skinzfan23

Hopefully they are going to update the insides of the stores as well. Any insight?

skinzfan23

They have gotten really lazy with the landscaping on the HDR block in AV. Rather than having grass on the parking bump outs near entrances, they just put white gravel down. Looks pretty cheap and tacky.

skinzfan23

We stopped by on our way home from Colorado last summer. The guide stated that the trail just opened a few days prior, so that was nice that we were able to use it.

Actually, Sandra, in the video, is who we talked to. She was a nice lady and very well spoken.

skinzfan23

Saw there were around 4,000 last night. Wonder if the next game in Omaha on April 30th (if the teams keep playing well like they are) will draw near the 18,000 - 20,000 that this series used to draw when it was at Rosenblatt.

Zeke Mayo ended up committing to Kansas tonight. Would have liked to add him but there are still a ton of people in the transfer portal.

skinzfan23

Hmm 19th? That means it goes right past Civic Site. If there is legs to this extension, Civic Site needs a redux asap. It should not be just 4+1's. Definitely agree. It should be at least 8-10 stories. Glad that they are getting some money, but is this just to study the extension? And $300,000 isn'...

I really need to get to a game. I used to make it to 1-2 each year, but I don't think we have gone since Covid. I really enjoy going, but my wife not as much, especially when its 1,000 degrees outside.

skinzfan23

It’s only $5 but since when did they start charging to park in the gravel lot at Werner park? The other lots had a fee but that was the benefit to park on gravel was it being free. If they are going to charge the same amt, they should probably pave it.

skinzfan23

Josiah Dotzler has entered the transfer portal. I knew it was possible, but I didn’t think he would. It’s just weird to lose a local guy.

Although just because they entered, the portal doesn’t 100% mean they are leaving, but usually that is the case

skinzfan23

All that you mentioned would be a dream scenario. Unfortunately, Baylor can't come back, but having those other 3 would be great. I do expect a little more from Ashworth next year since he now knows the system and pace better. Trey is still the least likely to come back, but you never know.

skinzfan23

Didn't know where to put this, but has CHI ever inquired about hosting the Big 10 conference basketball tournament or the women's regional? They have hosted the men's 5 times, including the regional once. The Big 10 seems to rotate between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis, but Omaha would be a...

Figured this one was coming too, but Jonathan Lawson is in the portal. He only scored 11 pts for the season, so not that big of a loss. Expected him to play more since he was a 4* recruit out of high school, but clearly coaching staff didn't see what they wanted from him.

skinzfan23

yes, I am not sure that most realize how hard it is to get in that shape. Constantly throughout the season you could see how well conditioned CU was, other teams were subbing and their players still hand their hands on the knees constantly. The leap from high school is already challenging but to pla...

skinzfan23

Well, got one answer….Brock Vice has entered the portal. Maybe means Kalk could be considering a comeback.

skinzfan23

I think Fred king might, Jonathan Lawson prob will. Other than that Baylor is done, Kalk will either go pro or come back, Trey will prob go pro. No one else really played so I don’t think it will matter much. I also think Dotzler will come back.

skinzfan23

Also zeke mayo from South Dakota state has Creighton as one of the 4 schools he is considering :

skinzfan23

Like this interview: doesn’t sound like Trey is giving up coming back to Creighton

skinzfan23

Shatel literally went to 2 Creighton games all year. He did not go to the BE tournament or the Jays first 2 NCAA games. Having him give his "expert opinion" is beyond parody. Yeah for whatever reason he and world herald staff were so excited to see the Huskers win their first tournament g...

Again anywhere near 50,000 isn’t going to happen. They would be lucky to add anywhere close to 10,000 in the next decade. Do you realize how many housing units even that would take. I am from CB and there definitely is a stigma that most in Omaha or NE will not even consider living in CB. I wish the...
