Or just for fun, you could show those folks a random collection of average homes in Omaha and let them draw their own conclusions. https://doc-14-2c-mymaps.googleusercontent.com/untrusted/hostedimage/uovrmfssv79jp0vmao8qg4oiac/idalmh2b4e112tem36t52k65ec/1580256000000/mabNXr5LHTA9sb8Hah3rBT8wUhsc4dBq...

Ok I know it’s not actually an alley but The Fremont Street (Vegas) got its alley /street makeover in about 1994-1995. The end result was a 60% increase in visitors for the area business. It took a dead zone and restored it to a must-see visitor’s attraction. I see no reason why a smaller version wo...

Using a spotting scope and putting your cell phone up to the eyepiece while looking out a window wont make for the best owl photo. But this barred owl is calling Westgate home for the day 76th & Center. https://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah309/me-just/20200126_150235_zpswlptcdnh.jpg https://i1...

So if this were ever to happen what would it be called? OLAY is taken and so is OMALiNK . TTOAL is available, train to Omaha and Lincoln. Any others?

Never mind this only works for the poster I guess, others can not see photos posted this way. Perhaps a mod can delete this bad advice. I am just putting this out there as a free tool others can use for keeping and sharing photos. If you create a private map in google you can upload photos to your m...

There is a company out of Florida that apparently maintains a vast database of not only your vin number but your cars warranty information. Next time they call me I will send them to you if you would like.

Is this the same endeavor announced in September 2017 or is this a new spin on that proposed rehab?

In what world does a group planning to open a restaurant sit around thinking "what shall we call this" and the one who said "how about sickies" still has a job.

I like this a lot! It really finishes the development along the corridor. That car going west on center is in the wrong lane though.

Several years ago, I took my new car here for its first oil change. After driving to Kansas City, the next day, I noticed a burning smell. They installed the oil filter improperly because they were not familiar with the new model. It leaked out a quart and a half. That was my 1st and last visit to J...

on a side note, I couldn't help noticing that the neighbor is "Super 8 by Wyndham". Boy has that brand changed, that name used to only be associated with high end hotels that were barely affordable to the average person.

Yes, thank you and welcome vramirez! We have waited a year for this update, so don't leave us in suspense ..... how many units? Is it open? If not when? What are the rents & features?

Yes the house with the porch has been gone since at least 2008. They had one bedrooms renting for $295 to $395 from 1998 to 2002. All of these are also gone, I added a new layer to the Apartment Map..

This has a nice look that will mirror the Okeefe Elevator building next door. I am not understanding the stairways though on both corners as it effectively blocks ADA access going west on Jones street. On the plus side it will be fun to watch the scooters go down the stairs to get to the old market....

In reviewing the posts here it looks like 14 of these townhomes out of the 92 planned are to open in 2019. Known as Gallery 23 Brownstones. The original development called for 220 total units. I am not finding any new data for the remaining units. https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/fremont...

It would be interesting to learn why this occurred. A new post perhaps with a lot of links?

Does anyone know how many years after being deemed abandoned does it take for the city to take and sell a property? For example, here is a sad little abandoned building at 2006 S 8th Street (Safari Apartments). It has been vacant for at least 6 years. New developments are going up in the area and th...

I know many will not agree with this but ….. when it comes to our current court system it is outdated and needs to change with the times.

Sorry I wasn't wearing my welcome to Omaha hat.

Yes the road ditches in in Omaha are filled with ice and snow in the winter. You will need a truck to drive across them.

The mall may be closed to the public, but did you know you can still go for a walk along the paths, visit the play ground and even go on the bridge?
