I thought we used to have nonstop to San Diego?

Omaha will be fortunate to emulate San Antonio's extraordinarily successful River Walk. San Antonio's River Walk is the #1 tourist attraction in the state of Texas, attracting over 11 million visitors annually, supports more than 31,000 jobs, and has an economic impact of around $3.1 billion per ye...

So, not an actual riverwalk. The GLM would just be turned into "Restaurants on the Pond" and the park would be gone.

Buy/remove those last few homes on 136th street and build a bunch of row houses

No kidding!!

ok, much better. But remember, widening 168th includes going through a lake and building a bridge over water. Does Metro buy a lot of new buses each year? I would imagine some years they do not buy any. Also, Metro uses those same roads that cars use. EDIT : Just realized this is the streetcar threa...

Omaha_corn_burner

We are spending the same amount of money to widen 168th St between Center and Pacific as Metro's entire annual operating budget. The reason we don't have effective transit is we heavily subsidize car travel and spend next to nothing on buses. 11.5 million dollars for the road widening http://mapaco...

Is 100 the magic number? I have no idea, but an A319 (mainline) holds around 120 passengers while the ERJs and CRJs (regional) hold around 50 or 70 passengers.

If you want downtown to be rebuilt and look nicer then tell the City to look for companies willing to locate here and by companies I don't mean retailers, or insurance companies. I mean tech companies or something that Omaha would benefit from. Plus where would we put a 1.2 Billion dollar project o...

Just imagine what $1.2 billion would do downtown., I have no idea what a private developer would do with 1.2 billion downtown. Build one tall building? Build 3 medium height buildings in North Downtown? How much does the Capital District cost? How much did First National cost? I seriously have no i...

it's almost becoming cliche. I think we already passed that point. It's all just buzzwords and misspellede names. This city just keeps saying F-You to it's core. If Omaha didn't annex Elkhorn, then it would be a story of how Elkhorn was expanding. I'll bet everything in my pocket to everything in y...

bigredmed, If busses are not an option for the UNMC area, then what is the answer? More/larger parking garages? I can't seem to figure out what your preferred solution is to your employer's problem.

Hello, I am new to the forum but have enjoyed reading through all of the past threads. I live in the Countryside Village area and am excited about all of the new tenants that have been popping up. Today as I was driving past, I noticed a truck and trailer with 4-5 "beer distillation vats"...

Darn, why did they allow that nice Target to be built there? Ugh... (I like Target and I shop there sometimes, but a large parking lot & 1-story Target is not good enough for 72nd & Dodge, imo. How boring... Saddle Creek? Maybe Best Buy painted the old building as a requirement from their l...

So people pay a bunch of money to hit a ball off of a decked building? This doesn't sound like a long term business model. Doesn't appear that you looked into what TopGolf is. $40 per hour on the weekends. It doesn't seem too expensive. Of course if they charge per hour, I'm going to be hitting a l...

I know its early to judge the apartments as they're not finished, but they look kind of awful. Instead of a true mixed use development, it looks like a standard multi-story apartment complex tucked behind a strip mall. I don't understand why they didn't do apartments over shops, and more of a commu...

I guess I missed that news story. What crime was committed by the owner? Check out the brix thread. I did. Didn't see anything. Failed business and not able to pay bills. Is that a crime? It sounds like he tried to keep it going way past the point of no return. Including selling gift cards at Chris...

They have not opened yet. I assume they should be open in March.

Figuring that donuts cost 1 dollar a piece, if the rent is 3000 then they have to sell 100 donuts a day to cover rent. Then they got 2 employees working in there 24 hours a day costing 500 to 800 a day in wages and taxes, so theres another 500 donuts a day they need to sell just for labor. Now we a...

I am digging for further clarification or a breakdown of your 98% empty statement. It's a room full of computers. Humans are not needed most of the time.

Good luck Joe. People seem to think this will create lots of permanent jobs and the people will be making $100k+ I'm sitting a dozen feet from the doors to a data center. 98% of the time there is nobody in there. So 1 permanent job then? Doesn't match the numbers given to the state when applying fo...
