we had 3 or 4 in cb, but some drifts are sizeable... I work by Gretna and we had mostly snow all day, but when I got home last night, Council Bluffs barely had anything at all. Ground was almost completely brown

honestly, Runza could sponsor one and i'd be ok with it. Kind of like when the chasers wear the Runza uni's at werner park

keeping in mind that i understand the challenges are different, but I saw this video over the weekend and was really impressed. Shows how much can be done in a weekend...

very cool stuff

thye have also been broadcasting with generic backgrounds, like people working behind them, or standing at the desk without any identifiers, other than a slightly blurry picture of Omaha in the back ground. Maybe they are both swapping?

while i'm no fan of Michigan, and it wouldn't have been horrible to see Saban in there, I'm at least relieved it wasn't Alabama and/or Texas (especially Texas...F them). The narrative would have been exhausting. "Rematch" this and "Former power house" that. Now, if Washington ca...

can't wait. For people that don't live in the area, it's hard to access the blackstone district due to parking woes. It will be easier once the streetcar is finished, but in the mean time, this will help out a lot I usually park nearer to UNMC now that I don't live in the area, and just huff it the...

I'd love to see what their attendance numbers have been. I've never been there when it wasn't bustling, and we tried to go Friday but it was too busy (the times they had available didn't work in our favor, so we had to go Sunday). The front desk folks said they had broken records consecutively for a...

I would love a classic new york style spot with lox. I know many brunch places serve it, but a quick walk in walk out place that isn’t a chain would be nice. Am I missing one? Agreed! For my birthday, my wife ordered bagels from this place in NYC and had them shipped here. Not at all cheap, but the...

I like your list.

i've always liked that church. My dad belonged to that church- it's sad that it couldn't be saved, if for no other reason, because (i think) it's architecturally beautiful.

pictures don't do justice for just how big this thing is gonna be. Up close, the uprights for the garage are absolutely massive, as they should be. This is gonna be so great!

thenewguy

this is such an important bridge, seriously. There's a parking garage at the park on the CB side that is way underutilized right now, and it'd be super easy to park there and walk across the bridges to get to the CWS from the CB side without dealing with the same amount of traffic. I'm sure they wil...

they are really smart.

i mean, it's one way to minimize debris falling into the parks, and you can still see the fireworks from the parks. I don't think they have to be sent off IN the parks to be seen FROM the parks...

I noticed that this morning! It's definitely noticeably different

i can't wait- the tower will be fantastic and the walking path through the trees will be really great. I love that CB is leveraging more of the natural aspects and getting people down to the river that way. Between the two cities, there is some really fantastic park space to be had. You could make a...

From The Daily Nonpareil: Visitors to Council Bluffs' riverfront will soon be able to travel along treetops to gain new perspectives on the Missouri River and Omaha's skyline. A new riverfront walkway will connect the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge to a 138-foot-tall observation tower, thanks to $5 m...

you mean the current site and MTC, right? I agree, good question.

seems like we are having trouble with this this getting up

I watched the first half of the game, and it just looked like they were firing on all 8 pretty much from the get go. There were a couple good defensive stops by EM, but it was a lot like last year's Georgia/TCU game, and Iowa Western just ran away with it.

thenewguy

this is one of the beams for the library:

the cross section of the beam is 3.5' tall and that beam, in total, weighs 25k lbs

thenewguy

Iowa Western won last night 61-14. They really walloped East Mississippi!

in the 2nd video, I noticed everyone was walking kind of half-speed. I was sort of waiting for the cool movie explosion type scene as the hero walks away

thenewguy

I'm a simple man. I just want to see some visible progress on the streetcar line so that I know it's really going to happen

Also, it'd be cool to see Mutual make the height of woodmen by the end of the year next year (just the framework, i know it won't be close to done)

i didn't realize that we have 4 tower cranes up right now. That building is gonna be massive in that area We talked about this last time I was on Grow Omaha. There are currently 5 Total. 1. 39 Farnam 2. Mutual (Yellow) 3. Mutual (Blue) 4. Holland 5. Central Library. And the 43 & Douglas crane j...

i feel like they could have a really cool museum type attraction with a steamboat on land in this area, something with more history of the river (beaver pelts, barges, etc) as a museum. there's a really cool museum with tours up in door county wisconsin that does guided tours on the boats that used ...

Slightly off topic, but I wish we utilized the river more with steamboats (not actual steam just in that style). A steamboat style boat that goes from downtown Kansas City to downtown Omaha might be a unique experience. It is roughly 250 miles by the river from Kansas City to Omaha and steamships g...

Is Nebraska going into the transfer portal for a QB? i'm pretty sure they are. I listen to 590 on my way home and they have talked a lot about it. Apparently they've already met with some qb's to compliment Brock and Heinrich (even though a big name qb would get the start anyway) Brock? I wish lol ...
