Omaha schools could not show up and have their own tournament.

Does anyone know what exactly they are doing on Dodge tonight? I heard they where closing it down to one lane for concrete overlay. Is that on Dodge itself up on the viaduct? Do you think it will be worth going out there and taking a gander?

I think they should have divided the build into two groups, with one responsible for the south portion and the other the north portion. And make them race to completion. One of the prizes for 1st done could be a month pass to the Playhouse. That should accelerate the build. :lol:
