Not sure I buy that. Air Canada hitting the OMA market was a pretty big deal- and was covered by the W-H and all the local television stations. If down the line, Air Canada actually pulls the plug at OMA, I’m quite confident it will get covered “officially” by the local media. Especially KETV. Air C...

I’m interested in your feedback.. It’s occurred to me, amongst the well documented trend that Omaha is one of the top cities Millennials are moving too, combined with reports of an Omaha zip code- 68144- being the 2nd hottest zip code for home buyers on the market in the US (and 43% of those home b...

There was wall street tower. The rest I dont know anything about. I hear mentions of things being "Minarded", but I dont know the project that was tied to. More recently theres been "Crossroads Village". Anything else? Busguy, all you really need to do is peruse the heavily post...

As has previously been stated, the sustainable population base is there.. And with more businesses, like Kiewit, and residential developments popping up within the next several years, the question really becomes- Why wouldn’t a grocer want to locate in this area? Short-sightedness and lack of visio...

I think the increased cynicism is due to the general ill will that seems to permeate all aspects of contemporary online culture. There has been a ton of great stuff going on in Omaha over the past decade, but it's been a while since people, especially people who spend a lot of time online, have all...

Just looked it up. 15,000 within 1 mile of 16 and Cuming St. Projections are 17000 by year 2024 138000 with 3 miles. Thanks for taking the time to look the data up..

I'm actually expecting to get marching orders to Aksarben as early as 2020 (our office is an embarrassment, was forced to leave our Miracle Hills office and join an operations group in what amounts to a strip mall). I was just reviewing this older thread and saw this mention of bad office space. I ...

I signed up after JoeMoney went bye bye, but didn't some of you suspect that he stalked a forum meetup once to eavesdrop? Lol, yes. I had forgotten all about that. We all met up at 13th street coffee in the Old Market..and several forumers, including yours truly, thought an Ayn Rand sort of fanboy ...

Russians, children, those who behave like children. I mean that's the entire internet in a nutshell. No kidding. Makes me long for the days of JoeMoney. I just turned 61 so I remember the days of no smart phones, no cel phones, no internet, no home computers, etc. The only times when the unwashed m...

And of course corporations never, ever take risks.... Nope. :D Reality, grocery can be too risky. Groceries are a low margin business. And if downtown land gets too expensive, making the margin is difficult. But, if there is the sustainable population base, typically businesses like a full service ...

That’s my zip code as well. Houses seldom take more than a week or two to sell. If they sit on the market for more than a month they usually aren’t priced right or need a bunch of work. Many sell in a few days. Agreed. Available homes fly off the shelves very quickly in 68144... Ciao..LiO...Peace

It’s unfortunate it had to come to this, but RockHarbor has been permanently banned from the forum..

In case anyone was wondering...

Yep. That’s my zip code!.. From today’s W-H- “Realtor.com, in its latest Market Hotness Index, catapulted 68144 to the No. 2 spot nationally after analyzing some 32,000 ZIP codes and how quickly houses were viewed and sold. Area residents might remember that two years ago, the 68144 area — northeast...

I don’t believe the core should be shortchanged. Would love to see a HyVee or even (god forbid :) ) the Walmart grocery store concept open in North Downtown... Ciao..LiO...Peace Those are the two that I think could make it happen... though, I bet a hypothetical Walmart neighborhood market would be ...

Thanks for the speculative intel on Air Canada. But I’ll wait for an official confirmation they’re leaving OMA before I comment specifically on that happenstance..

For now, they’re still alive and well at OMA...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

We’ve all veered a bIt off topic here.. But with the addition of the new Kiewit HQ’s, and the continued mixed use growth of North Downtown as a whole, the area definitely can support a full service grocery store. While another Cubby’s would be adequate; I believe the time is now for a full service g...

This is why the Combined Omaha and Lincoln Chambers’ Opt In program is so important. The tech jobs are here.

Walked by today. They are tearing down structure on northwest corner of the block. Kiewit wants retail in the area. A big grocer would be perfect for this area. Streets are wide. Access is easy. Grocery stores need infrastructure. These blocks fit the bill. I was in this area just yesterday afterno...

Cowboy ... just for clarification ... I am not against the demolition and a re-do. My complaint is I think the plan as presented lacks vision. If I am wrong 5 years down the road I will gladly admit it. As I mentioned a few posts ago, I recently moved back to Omaha and downtown. I have skin in the ...

I went into the rush market on opening day they are still working on filling the lower level of Younkers with fresh finds/goods. Very nice stuff. The staff at rush market was really friendly. It will be nice once both floors are open to the mall. It’s a good thing Younkers didn’t need to be bulldoz...

Well, critic, I appreciate your response.. Can’t say I agree with much of it. Your opinion is purely speculative.. As is everyone else’s.. Parhaps all those things you mention will happen. There is a good possibility NONE of it will... So what we’ve come to is this- cup half full or cup half empty. ...

Went to High Peak (Burmese/Thai) on 78th with a group of 8. It's one of my new/favorite Asian places. Everyone raved about their food. I can't get over how inexpensive it is. Went back a few days later for lunch. I’ve added High Peak to my “need to try list”. The place looks like a winner- https://...

Doesn’t have to be a failure. If they make it the same thing every other city has, yes it will be just that. If they turn it into something other cities are jealous of ... that is a success. Sadly, I see more of the former. So much skepticism here.. Honestly, how can you *really* see more of what y...

I get the sentiment RockHarbor is communicating though.. and I agree with him... I loved the Gene Leahy Mall. I lived close to the downtown area for a great portion of my 20’s and 30’s and have many fond memories of just walking around GLM with my girlfriend after dinner..or just hanging out with fr...

The matter was discussed thoroughly and old rich white men voted to move forward. They weren’t all white weren’t all men and they weren’t all rich, but this is mostly true, lol... Ciao..LiO...Peace My point was that "old rich white men" didn't all oppose this. Some actually voted for it. ...

NovakOmaha suggested previously that Giordanos probably hopes that the idea of opening a restaurant in Omaha quietly goes away. I, for one, don’t think it should be that easy for them. I understand what you’re saying.. But I’m at the point now, if this outfit actually opened in Omaha, they’d get NO...

Just found out that a restaurant/fast food called Grubbz which is a family owned restaurant will be moving in to the food court August 9. They offer hot wings, meatball subs and more. Nice!
