Two points here... First, I'm not sure where you've equated the refugee population with being homeless. Just because they're refugees doesn't mean they come along and live on the streets. They generally are receptive and receive help to start productive lives here. Second, and maybe a hot take, but ...

Don't think this has been posted but here is the updated route map: https://indd.adobe.com/content/2/dd266054-c43b-4f77-ae4d-9bd225d823c8/3400000020440/package/cwl9/publication-web-resources/image/OSCA-Route%2BMap%2BStops%2BParking_FINAL.png This is good. I like this. A useful starter route with op...

I'm not normally one to say such things but Wally's is fantastic. Absolutely best place to stop during a road trip or just to get some breakfast. Buc-ee's is overrated and lame in comparison. I will die on this hill.

That was my understanding from the news conference.

Will there be a station at 10th and Capitol then?

This place is also specifically for UNL students who want to live off campus. Not a demographic with too high of standards.

That said, a damn cornice would have been nice…

What a bizarre proposal. Part of the reason you live in a tower like that is for the views. What is out here to look at? Even if they are trying to build $3 billion worth of stuff, why here? I'm sure the land is cheap and Gretna seems like it would sell it's soul to anyone helping them expand, but i...

I heard the release was somewhat disappointing due to game chunking and having to crank the graphics wayyyy down. That's what I was afraid of. Cities:Skylines 1 was pushing my "gaming" PC to the height of its capabilities. With improved graphics and a more complex simulation I had a hunch...

That sounds really nice! 😊 Did this train go through Omaha? I thought that the California Zephyr only has coach, and the private rooms. I'm not aware it's business class seats on that route. Nah, I rode it from St. Louis to Chicago and then Kansas City to St. Louis, so the Lincoln Service and the M...

Did you travel coach or in a private room? I traveled coach on the way out and Business Class on the way back. Coach was nice. The train car was new and much easier to spread out than on an airplane. Business Class though seemed much nicer than First Class on an airplane. I got a single-row seat, s...

I couldn't find an AmTrak thread so I decided to place this here... I took AmTrak for the first time last week for a work trip. Having used passenger rail systems in Europe, I was delightfully surprised how pleasant it was and definitely plan to use it again in the future. I decided to dive into som...

Roads that are designed to be uncomfortable to drive at high speed as well as greater protection between different modes is how we are looking to prevent deaths and serious injuries.

Even if pedestrians are being irresponsible it’s better if the result is they are mildly injured instead of killed.

I know this is an apple to watermelon comparison, but Denver is renovating and expanding again with a plan to add up to 100 more gates. They are the 3rd busiest airport in the US, I get it, but the differences are stark. Denver adding 100 gates, Kansas City opened their new terminal with 40 (44th b...

I used to admire electric cars and even bought a Chevy Bolt. I had problems with it and was stranded in winter because range varies depending on outside temp. I even needed help from a truck with a diesel generator attached for power rescue. :roll: I used to believe the BS on clean energy and its g...

Elimination of the Electoral College instantly turns 35 of the states into second class citizens as NY, FL, TX, and CA can easily outvote entire states. No state would outvote another state if there isn’t an electoral college. That’s the point of getting rid of it. Really? Stop and think about that...

Yeah! And what's if we do all these climate change mitigation efforts and find out there's catastrophic sea level rise anyway? We're just going to have clean air for nothing?!

I had a Chevy Bolt a few years ago and got rid of that [expletitive] thing. I always had range anxiety and many times I had to drive without AC or heating or else the battery would drain much faster. The battery juice during winter was terrible and was stranded 2 times. I had to call a person to br...

In 1876 St. Louis City separated from St. Louis County to become an independent city-county. Because all the county government buildings were in St. Louis City, St. Louis County now needed a new county seat. IIRC, a farmer whose name was Clayton donated land for it where downtown Clayton stands toda...

I'm a bit warry this is going to do well. It looks cool, but you can see at the end of the video that it's contained within a sea of parking and it's not convenient or easy to get to from the rest of campus or from Campustown. Outside of game days, I could see this being a dead space after the novel...

On the flip side, if you were an idiot pedestrian and crossed outside of a designated crossing or were just being dumb in general you could also expect to be berated via driver and/or car horn. An interested and appreciated change of pace for sure. Part of that is because California has very strict...

I was debating if I wanted to be a Debbie Downer and note the lack of transportation options, but I see the article devoted a paragraph to it, so I feel empowered.. I recall an article not too long ago, also from the local Tampa newspaper, discussing Tampa having some of the worst public transit in ...

Side note: I like that they placed a UNL 'N' on the bumper of the Range Rover parked next to Security Checkpoint 3.

How do so many Nebraskans have Teslas if they are not allowed to be sold in the state and Iowa can’t sell them to Nebraskans?

A nice try. I guess it’d be better for Lincoln to focus on service by major airlines to major hubs than to try and capture very specific pleasure-based travelers.

The part I really found interesting when he said most people that took the light rail to the airport in Denver, worked at the airport... No surprise there. When I was in Chicago last summer, I took the El between Midway and my hotel. The airport station was dead both times. People don’t use it for ...

I mean, considering how long it's taken Aksarben and North Downtown to finish and they are both smaller-scale projects, I'd say 10 years is quite optimistic.

This'll take like 30 years to build out.

They may be putting the cart before the horse a bit by not having adequate alternative transportation handy and in place by the time the development opens. Ideally that would come first. I can't imagine parking is at a premium here in the meantime. Some cities require permits to park on residential ...

2 bedroom units aimed at college students. Approximately 92 extra cars will need to find parking spots on the street?!?! Seriously, parking is at a premium on Marcy St. Top that off with idiots who cannot parallel park, taking up 2 spaces on the street as well. People that want to live there don’t ...

On the one hand I agree that it is strange they would serve beef when only 7% of the Indian population eats beef, regardless if that amounts to 100 million people. On the other hand, Chicken Tikka Masala, an Indian restaurant staple, isn't authentically Indian either. It was invented in the UK in th...

Apparently my source was misinformed about the income requirements for a Trader Joes. Rather they tend to locate in areas that have moderately higher household median incomes than the average, but have no real formula. :what: Sorry.

Trader Joe's is unlikely at the Civic Site. They apparently require a pretty high median income for the surrounding neighborhood, about $100,000 if I understand correctly. I don't believe downtown is there yet.

TitosBuritoBarn

Oh for sure! That's why I was thinking they could install a full scale Aldi in there. I think something with some hot food options or ready to eat meals would do well, especially with the clientele an urban format would attract. Edit: after continuing to look at different urban type stores, I found...

I live right in the area and I dread the idea of it becoming another Blackstone or Benson bar district. The surrounding area is already ill prepared for the Blondo cross traffic. Idk what we would do with a bunch of nightly bar traffic on top of it. Blondo cross traffic needs to go completely. That...
