will they turn any of the lights on prior to the completion ceremony? Â I know that they've got a lot of them done (but i haven't been by at night) so i just don't know if there's anything we'll be able to see or not. Â I figure that they won't light up the piers until it's all done, but maybe the l...

so, icejammer, how do you hear about this stuff so early?

i know I'm preaching to the choir here but i really really hope they go downtown. Â I'm only 3 summers away from going to ball games on my bicycle....they can't take it from me!!

I work with some of the family of Mr. Anderson, and the activity going on may be in relation to Dwight Anderson having purchased a large portion of the land directly surrounding the area. Â I don't know if it's to the north, south, east, or west, but i was talking to them and they said he just recen...

YES! YES! YES! Â Build it! Â I was going to post that this morning, but i should have known that old icejammer would beat me to it :) Â That would not only be a huge get for Council Bluffs, but for the metro as a whole! Â Think about it: within about 6 miles, you have the old market, new ball park,...

maybe the father and daughter were just out bumming?

thenewguy

not to stray too far off here i was thinking about this when i saw the picture of the Sabre's game) but i hope they bring back the outdoor ice rink in the old market this year. Â That was a good time and an awesome idea. Â Back to the thread.

so i was telling my fiance about the new theater (she wasn't as impressed with it as i was, then again she doesn't get all bent out of shape the way i do :) ) and something i think will be really cool is that the theater should feel big.

Yeah, I hear you there. Des Moines has alot to be proud of in terms of support for their minor league sports... they've got a AFL/2 team now as well.

an assurance that the money you put down will for sure go towards getting a condo Typically(and this is how it works at all NP Dodge projects), your money goes into an escrow account that the developer cannot touch until the closing of the unit.

to me...i honestly think crossroads can be saved on one condition...and one condition only... because it's so close to westroads, it makes no sense for crossroads to have the same exact stores as westroads.... i even think that the dillard court is quite pretty in crossroads.... so style really isn...

Seeing as how there hasn't been talk in this thread for over a month, I'm hoping that the mayor's discussions of light rail wasn't just a flash in the pan, and that there is some stuff going on behind the scenes. Â It'd be nice to know that the momentum is still going, no matter how visible it is to...

thenewguy

not to get off topic, but i will say that the wal*mart on 72nd is probably going to be the nicest one i have ever seen...as far as wal*marts go. Â OBD or not.

thenewguy

i believe it was an actual proposal; if I'm not mistaken, the mayor secured some funding from the state to help develop it.

"just put up and shut up."

Powerful last line.

I've never seen Jordan Creek.. I think Village Pointe is nice, but the shopping mall in Papillion is better than village pointe.. Yeah, Jordan Creek really is that much nicer...It's not like Village Point, in that it's set up like a traditional mall (interior corridors taking you past store fronts)...

something that could help boost the economy...i can see it coming! http://www.pickensplan.com/theplan/ Reading a little bit, it all makes some good sense.

the other day when we rode down by the bridge, the first thing i noticed was how inviting and tempting it is to want to ride across it from the Iowa side. Â The approach really isn't too bad; the street lights that line it are nice and it ties in with the park better than i thought it would. Â Crews...

see i went there and i found an .mp3 player that was like $37 bucks. Â It doesn't make sense to me to pay $37 for a player for my phone when there may be a free one out there (then again, there many not be and i should quit being a |expletive| and pay up).

Here's what the Dropkick Murphy's are. Remember these guys? Nobody's going to care in about 7 minutes. [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=iENhUVfoyX4[/youtube] That's what i was thinking. Â Either that, or I'd equate them to something like House of Pain...then you've got the "Catchy Irish Ban...

So it's not an iPhone, but i just got a Palm Centro smart phone (through verizon) and i wondered if anyone else here had one.

i think that it'd help sales a bunch if there was construction already in progress. Â Like an assurance that the money you put down will for sure go towards getting a condo.

30 more consecutive days of this and we'll be back where we were a year ago... ...which wasn't exactly peaches and rosebuds.

looks like we had a little blip in the power last night. Â Must not have been too bad though, i slept like a baby.

I hope this thing isn't dead. Â The approach doesn't look too bad really, for it just being a regular ramp. Â I like the street lights that line it...but I'd love to see some development even more.

Stopped in over lunch today. 1 bdrm: $700-$1,000 2 bdrm: $1,100 to $1,500 3 bdrm: $1,500 to $1,800 The places sound nice though. I own a 3 bedroom house for the price of a 1 bedroom apartment... ...but you don't get to be |expletive| on by pigeons when you come back from Patrick's :) Just kidding...

thenewguy

ugh. Â Man, i hope they they get a garage or something built in the near future; surface parking sucks.

i would say nothing less than at least $1,200 or $1,300... Â a buddy of mine's parents live at River Park apartments over here in Council Bluffs on the golf course by Harrah's, and they pay about $1,100/month and it doesn't have near the amenities that Brandeis will.

ha ha yeah, i saw that; when they were making that Reuben, i got a little nervous that i missed the start of the Omaha stop.

Possible new life to this rumor...City of Council Bluffs is going to vacate right-of-way for Mid-America Loop (the little loop that is immediately south of Quaker Steak and Lube) so as to allow for the remaining 6 lots in that subdivision to be replatted as one, would be about 15 acres, about the r...

did they say when it was going to air yet?

thenewguy

...that, or are you being just really sarcastic, Erik? Â I mean, i live in Iowa, but when people ask where I'm from, i just tell them "right near Omaha" and they go, "oooh ok." Â I give Des Moines kudos, because they have made progress and do offer a decent amount, but seriously ...

Too bad they didn't have anything to expand on under the "dining & shops" section. Â I was hoping they made some announcements soon. Â I heard they were going to put in a drive through restaurant (can't remember if i said that or not) which I'd imagine would be a mcdonald's, starbucks,...
