Re: NuStyle Owned lot NWC 20th/Farnam
This is the area that I am most excited to see what the streetcar can do. We go to shows at the rose and that stretch of Farnam looks absolutely sad. Thankfully the hotels a few blocks down were built but this area leaves a lot to be desired. Also wish that they could tear out the building where the...

Re: Cheddar's (2 Omaha Locations)
We just went there a few weeks ago for the first time in probably 4-5 years. I remember when they first opened, the prices were very low especially for the amt of food that you got. Like everywhere else that has changed. Still a decent value but nothing amazing like it used to be. The food overall w...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2023-2024
Was hoping for a game in Salt Lake City, mostly because airfare is much cheaper from Omaha. I have Thurs and Fri off and was thinking of going but the cheapest round-trip is almost $900 which is pretty high for a domestic flight. Not to mention, hotel, food and game tickets it could add up really qu...

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion
Most streetcars have a max speed of 30-35 mph, some can go up to 45. I just think when you do research (and even listen to how the streetcar in Omaha is being funded) as much as it seems like a no-brainer, that is a long stretch that probably isn’t going to lead to more development. If that is the c...

Tough game for the Jays tonight. Battled back from 13 down and actually lead but only to miss 3 consecutive FTs and upset the game away.
At least I can live a normal life the rest of the weekend and not stress about a game.

So with that added height, it might change the ranking for these buildings in the city of Omaha. According to Wikipedia, these buildings rank 14th and 15th tallest, but with just an added 18 feet they will move to 12th. With 27 more feet, they Will move to 11th.

What was the number the mayor threw out regarding development since the streetcar was announced?
