i hope they include a vape shop...

(i have to say that i'm kidding, cause i don't want that to really happen, ever.)

Does Rapid City have/would be getting a station? I could see a Mount Rushmore/Black Hills destination. I was thinking the same thing. Rapid and/or Wall (Badlands National Park) would be cool. Free ice water and 5 cent hot coffee! At least that’s what maybe 1 or 2 billboards tell me…. these signs mu...

the way i see it is this: Many Americans view auto-ownership like the right to have a gun. You can say what you want until you are blue in the face, but the harsh reality is that a lot of people like them and will absolutely not give them up. All you can do then at that point is work to balance it o...

i hope they don't choose the same scheme as the MAT buses.

i had to look up "AFOL"

Adult Fan Of Lego.

I'm not cool at all.

thenewguy

Heard something quite interesting and exciting about a LEGO store in Omaha - that's from a very reliable source. 😁 Not sure if it's intended for public knowledge at this point in time but let's just say I think there will be many pleased people in the Omaha area later this year! Would an assumption...

it looks like it. Also, from the video, the parking garage area looks massive

Just saw a post on Facebook, that for the ice skating season (which started Nov 22nd)they had 48,000 skaters. From Christmas day to New Year's Day, they had over 11,500 skaters for the week. Those are some impressive numbers. (I am not sure but guessing this is just the number of skaters, so the nu...

can't wait to see updates for this as it progresses. Not that it wasn't going to happen, but now it feels more real since they flipped over some dirt.

thenewguy

sounds like they just needed to communicate better with the community, but from the outside looking in, it seems like this development is much more important to the overall success of north Omaha and it will inevitably happen. Plus, money talks and BS walks, right? Can't make an omelets without brea...

If you go to YouTube and look up soft white underbelly, you'll see real quick homeless people are that way because they can't get a job or don't want a job, addicted to drugs, or have mental problems. Those don't seem like things you can fix. It's a losing battle, there will always be homeless peop...

'Omaha' in Ponca means "to go against the current" Are you sure about that? I always thought it was something to do with Upstream? yeah. I was reading about Omaha-Ponca tribes and on this website https://www.ops.org/Page/1894#:~:text=Omaha%20means%2C%20%E2%80%9Cto%20go%20against,began%20m...

i do want to get down there and see it in person. Looks like it's fun

thenewguy

Things I think would be good for naming purposes: Bulls Bombers BIson (Tatonka, if you wanted to draw on Nebraska's Native American heritage) 'Omaha' in Ponca means "to go against the current" - could do something with that? Of course, they'd have to be careful not to offend certain groups...

thenewguy

absolutely ridiculous and horrible. I'm glad the person didn't commit suicide and was arrested so they can rot in jail for the rest of their life...but will never bring the dead back, or make those kids feel not afraid.

thenewguy

they would replace them ahead of the reconstruction? Is that odd? Not really if you look at that drawing. They're being modified precisely because of the construction. The two closest inside gates A1 and B20 are already closed. A2 likely would need to be closed once CUP construction ramps up as wel...

this would be great...but there's absolutely no way on earth it will ever happen Yeah, the longest of long shots. That being said, I think people would have said the same thing about OKC getting a team before it happened. Just to reiterate, I recommend everyone interested to listen to segment 3 fro...

they do have the sign up on there; i ended up having to run to walmart (forgot it was valentine's day) on my lunch and saw it.

their menu looks good, I'd like to try it

thenewguy

the reporter kept pronouncing it "pet it", which stuck out to me

thenewguy

anyone know which fast food restaurant is being built by walmart?

thenewguy

The robins are back, I heard them this morning. Spring isn't far away.

thenewguy

I liked stokes. I know service was hit or miss at times but i liked the vibe in there. Too bad there isn't another sit down restaurant going in.

thenewguy

what do you guys predict will happen with this building? I know before MoO was announced they planned on remodeling but it seems since then everyone’s fleeing the building. A shame since I like the building but it won’t be a focal point anymore for sure at least from the photogenic park perspective...

probably. Markel moved out to 138th & Dodge

I doubt there's much in the way of pollution that'd prevent them from developing it, if that were the case. It isn't like Asarco when they had to do all that remediation because of contamination. Sure, there my have been some oil that got spilled or whatever, but that'd be superficial compared to si...

I think it looks super cool. Yes, it's on the edge of the Metro, but probably hard to find enough land at a reasonable price in the city proper. I still want a full scale outdoor water park on the scale of Aquatica or Wet N Wild. Maybe Nebraska Crossing still has promise for that. I agree with a lo...

i hope it pans out, and i hope it's a hit. Without disrespect to fun plex, I can't believe the area is so limited on these kinds of things to do. There are other metros & markets with the same or more options than we have.

Another thing scheduled to open in 2026...

I didn't think it was a good ad campaign from the beginning. Glad to see they dropped it Despite criticisms of the slogan, it at least did not hurt tourism or people's perception of Nebraska. I know the proponent is attributing the positive results on the slogan, but it was really just part of a re...

when i was driving home the other day, they were in between raising the west half of the forms to the next level. I was hoping to find a picture of it cause it looked really cool

has anyone had trouble viewing the webcam from OPL_demolition? I can only seem to come up with January 31st and older
