We are going down there again in a few weeks. We almost always try to stay downtown now. Can't wait until the street car expansion gets underway and expanded to the Plaza.

Allen picked Wichita State.

It's completed. Cool slide show:

Kwik shop with Baker's fuel points. Hy Vee if I have some to use there or based on convenience. Kum and Go if not fuel points from others places. Probably go to Kum and Go the most.

Definitely Star Wars for me. For the Star Wars movies, I think Empire Strikes Back is hands down the best.

The one on 42nd and Grover has a Russian and Baltic grocery store. We need some cherry perogis access in the hood. So come on Eastern European food. Don't need a T-Mobile burner store. I believe the guy who owns Mega Saver is Russian or Eastern Bloc. I don't know why but I always associate Mega Sav...

Last day to vote on new floor design:

Anybody hear the rumor on the former Northwestern Assistant Gates that had left for Florida, had some sort of falling out and is now headed for Nebraska?

Has anybody tried Freezing at Ak Sar Ben Village? Gary Sharp was talking about it on 1620 this morning. Sounds like they have consistent lines out the door. Rolled ice cream.

Vala's Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard (12102 S 180th St, Gretna)

When I was driving back from Lincoln, it looked like a major building going up on Vala's property. As best as I could tell if it's part of Vala's it would be on the NW end of the property.

Cool pic!

Went to the new Swine Dining on 120th and Dodge a couple weeks ago. Food was good, except they are one of those places that dice up their meat super fine. I know that's a style that some places use, but I would rather have the larger slices of meat. Really glad you posted this. For some reason I do...

Dachon Burke commits to Nebraska over St. John's, Pitt, and others. He is a transfers from Robert Morris, where he was their leading scorer. Sits out next year with 2 to play. Appears to be a real good get considering we are still down an assistant (our lead recruiter), and Miles tenuous situation. ...

An interesting article on the collapse of this brand/malls in general: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/4/23/bon-ton-gone Kind of an odd article. Seems a little bitter about how shopping shifted out of the downtowns, and then makes a plea for downtown reinvestment. Also ignored the on-line ...

There is some cool stuff on there from time to time, but holy cow the moderator can be very touchy.

Palmer, Copeland and Roby get their draft grades, all possible 2nd rounders:

Great pics. I saw in Twitter that is's supoosed to open by next home stand (beginning on May the 4th with Star Wars Night).

I am surprised it will be done that fast.

Topeka & Joplin in the 1950's? That's shocking. My "other parents" lived in Topeka growing up, and when they first got transferred to Topeka around 1987 from South FL, my stepmother literally bawled when she saw their crummy, tacky White Lakes Mall. West Ridge Mall was soon built afte...

Greg S

The guys that own that land seem really odd. They've tried to really screw that place up in my opinion. I don't have a lot of confidence in them. They tried to prevent Von Maur coming in, Cheesecake Factory etc. Those have been positives for the mall including their land. Will be interesting to see ...

Greg S

The weird thing is, I could see NU making the tournament next year and Miles still being let go. This would be based on what he has coming back, what he has coming in and such. I think the one year extension is going to make it very difficult to hire a top quality assistant to replace Hunter.

Uffda: If Sioux Falls were a 100% classic "Midwest City" in every little way, you wouldn't have the housing styles you do there. It's influenced by the North a bit, and the "Dakotas thing." (I can go to any American city, and look at their new housing styles being built, and 100...

I just watched a live feed of Bill Moos speaking and answering questions at the Omaha Press Club. He was asked about baseball and Darin Erstad. I don't think Erstad is going anywhere. Moos gave a lot more of a pro Erstad answer than the dreaded vote of confidence.

I'm wondering if they moved from New York, NY to Cincinatti, OH at least partly because the downward steps the store took in prestige & class & perception as the years unfolded with a reshuffling of business & ownership. Cincinatti is not only cheaper, but the HQ makes more sense to me ...

They are building on to the concourse at Werner Park. Near the exit on the 3rd base side. They are adding a 2nd permanent team store.

Sioux Falls has a Macy's? When I mentioned a Macy's being in a smaller, less sophisticated city than Omaha, I was thinking of another town. Sioux Falls is practically "Cheyenne East." Even more so: Omaha & Des Moines shouldn't waste a day feeling like they are "not good enough&qu...

I would be willing to bet it's the highest ever for a team coming off a losing season.....

If he had had these issues at Creighton I think the getting paid part would be seriously in doubt. To me this is exactly why you turn pro if you can go in the first round. We don't know yet if he can play in the NBA because he really hasn't been healthy enough to showcase his talents (or lack there ...

Greg S

I shop at Younkers quite a lot. I will just end up hitting Macy's more when in KC. They are the closest option to replace Younkers for me.

It's a long shot but it would be awesome if they could get Macy's into that space. These days, Macy’s is only a rung or two higher than Kohl’s, given the mediocre lines of merchandise it now carries in locations outside the remaining big city downtown flagships. It thrives (in relative terms) more ...

Greg S

First I do trust Bill Moos. That being said, a one year deal seemed to me to be the worst option. If he wanted to make a change make a change. I think we are deep enough into the Miles era to make that call. If he was going to do an extension I would have gone 2 or 3 years. It just leaves so much un...

Chasers play a double header tonight. I was not planning on going but might be worth it to see Salvy. My fear and assumption is he plays game one which starts at 5.

Good for UNO. They need to beat NU this year. Hopefully UNO can get rolling again in conference play. Nebraska has not been this bad in awhile.

Assuming not just the championships but at the earlier round games too?

It's a long shot but it would be awesome if they could get Macy's into that space. I know they still opened some new stores in 2017, while closing a bunch of others. Not sure if they are opening any new ones in 2018 but Westroads would be an ideal way to enter market and they would not have to build...

Seems somewhat counter intuitive, placing regional headquarters, for the region your corporate headquarters is in, in another city other than your corporate headquarters. And, oh buy the way, we also need two additional 120,000 square foot buildings in KC as well. Beginning of the end in Omaha? Int...
