Not that he was getting a ton of minutes, but it will be interesting which route the Jays take. They could rely on freshman Davion Mintz a lot, have Tyler Clement get the minutes, or have a transfer step in. By the way, sounds like Doyle would have to sit out a year if he transfers in.

That is a great idea to have volunteers help. They should do something similar to the roadside cleanup. If they had companies sponsor a section of a median and then have employees occasionally maintain it, it could benefit all.

I recognize this as well when traveling to other cities. Of course, every city has areas that are just as bad, but I have made a comment similar to this several times about Hwy 75 and 480 in Omaha. There is always debris sitting in the shoulders for over a week. Sometimes shoes, sometimes a couch an...

I wonder if Coyote's rumor about BP tearing this building down is true. It appears that A Couple of Things has closed. There is paper over the doors and windows but their signs are still up.

Sounds like the residents voted in favor of increasing the sales tax by around 90 votes, with a few votes still to tally.

The facility is supposed to begin construction this summer and take approx 2 years.

Sad to see...my wife and I have eaten there on Valentine's Day each year for the past 5 years. We even had someone pay for our whole dinner 2 years ago when we went with our infant daughter. My wife was so touched that she started to cry. We basically were going to take our food to go after it came ...

Here is another picture of the Salvation Army building through the years:

Yes, most employees moved in during October. This was just a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The official opening date for the splash ground is June 3.

Also the African Grasslands opening is on May 27th as previously mentioned, but there is going to be a ribbon cutting ceremony @ 10:30 am.

Nice find East CB: From the Nonpareil: In another proposed housing project, the council also approved a memo of understanding for a four-story housing/commercial building in the 100 block of West Broadway. It’s to be built on the southeast corner where old, abandoned structures were demolished sever...

U.S. Swim Trials officials hoping final-night pageantry brings complete sellout at CenturyLink Center As of Monday, fewer than 600 tickets remained for the Trials’ final session on July 3. The first seven days, and 14 sessions, already have been sold out. Current ticket sales ensure that the 2016 T...

From the World Herald: Ready-to-eat meal supplier Eat Fit Go will open a second retail location this weekend at Aksarben Village. Additional stores are slated to open in about three months at 149th Street and W...

Goodwill’s Reserve 99 store in Old Market is closing

A lack of foot traffic and parking ultimately led Goodwill not to renew its lease and close the Old Market store, the company said.
Its last day in business will be May 19, Goodwill Omaha spokeswoman Kris Pachunka said.

It does get fairly busy during the morning and evening rush, especially when there is a slow bus or a truck stopped to unload. Creating a more pedestrian friendly street would be nice though. I still wish that they would redo 13th near the zoo with a tree lined median.

Yeah, I am continually amazed at the support the Omaha community gives events like this. I know we have heard it time and again, but that is why they keep coming. The amateur events loved to have crowd support and in very large cities that just doesn't happen. Examples of this in Omaha include (CWS,...

That is amazing that it is nearly sold out. I can understand that last day being a little tougher sell since a lot of people are holding their 4th of July parties that day and the Storm Chasers fireworks and College Home Run Derby and fireworks are that same day.

skinzfan23

Yes, WSU would be the only state school. That is one thing that leads me to believe this won't ever happen, but for sport's sake it would be nice.

skinzfan23

Sounds like the reviews of CLink were outstanding. As is the case with most events, everyone who has been here is blown away with all that the complex and city have to offer.

skinzfan23

That would be a great fit for the Storz lot. Something that isn't a restaurant that attracts families and continually draws them in. That is exactly the type of atmosphere we want near the riverfront and the pedestrian bridge. I would love to see this happen!

skinzfan23

That will be great for the area. What is the timeline for the project again?

skinzfan23

Looks great!

skinzfan23

Yeah, sounds like a sell out. (9,023)

Coming along nicely, thanks for the update photos.

Great photos...loving the progress.

Wow, already looks better with all those broken windows removed.

They poured a concrete floor on the southern 1/2 of the apt building today.

BTW, the rental information site is up for the Cue apartments with exterior pictures of the building: https://www.abodo.com/omaha-ne/2110-64th-ave. Not sure they are going to make the 7/1/16 availability date though. Wow, those prices are pretty high for the small size. BEDS BATH RENT SIZE AVAILABL...

I just looked for available tickets....not many pairs of seats left in the box sections. Should be a great crowd.

Sorry, you are right. It sounds like it is going to be just south of the BP.

Mo Watson withdrew from the NBA draft and will return to Creighton for his senior year. Not that we didn't all expect this.

Will be exciting to hear proposals for that land in the coming years.

It will be great to compare this picture to one taken in 1-2 years once the Shamrock project is complete.

Amazing photos...thanks for posting. As I have mentioned before, if anyone is mad at the pace of development of north downtown, take a look at these photos and you can see how much of a wasteland that area was in the 90's. Asarco was still present as well.

New proposed 4 story building next to the Sawyer Building in Downtown CB. On the city council agenda May 9th. Wow, that could be huge if the building is done right. The old buildings that were there didn't fit their surroundings. Hopefully the new building will emulate the Sawyer building from Broa...

I am assuming it is going to go between Gentlemen's Choice and the Cox Solutions store on the north side of Dodge. Can't be any worse than the dirt lot that is there now and it sounds like a great cause (free lodging for families of cancer patients)

The main thing I have had a problem with is the strawberries having mold. If you eat them in 3 days or so you are fine....any longer and they always seem to mold. The only other frustrating thing is the bananas that are packaged in a bag, so you can't take any off if you don't like one in the bunch.

I drove by on 480 the other day and noticed steel framework on the 2nd or 3rd floor that had trusses above and open space below; is this the ballroom area that was referred to earlier?

No, I was saying the HyVee's produce is better but much more expensive. For bananas, however, I might as well get them at Aldi's. HyVees bananas are always so green and I like them so I can eat them in the next day or so.
