PETA is rumored to be petitioning for a change to Ground Hugs Day, while the pork industry is pushing Ground Hogs Day. https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/c55fbfb1-46cd-4492-be1a-e0551a80f524/d6h081a-7d68d9e6-e519-4338-88a5-010b9bfd306c.jpg/v1/fill/w_198,h_298,q_75,strp/homer_...

I watched something online the other day about why there are so many 5 over 1 boxes in the US vs cities in Europe and it has to do with fire code. Here, there is a requirement to have 2 stairwells in every building, so that means there's a significant portion of the interior occupied by a hallway an...

I guess you’d have to ask the owners for the meaning behind the name. Are they going to feature American spirits, wines and beers? Theme bars and restaurants are fine; I have no problem with that. If the name was intended to imply that only like-minded people are welcome, then he should expect some...

I read an article a few years ago stating the reason the name hasn't changed because they had a 100 year naming clause on it. I don't know if airfield was part of the deal or just the Eppley name. It was named after Eugene Eppley in 1959 or 1960. Of course, I can't find the article now. Maybe somet...

Sounds like I'm not the only one who hates the idea of this 'me too', let's be an 'International' airport. I suspect even with the improved facilities and any International tourist destination flights, they would be seasonal at best. I've always actually liked retaining the historic 'airfield' name...

they are going to keep the small (post office?) building, which is good because it is cool looking https://i.ibb.co/Qm0FNbV/dto-bemis3.jpg That's the Krug Brewery / Anheuser Busch location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anheuser-Busch_Beer_Depot man, I'd have loved to have seen it when it was all st...

it just looks so much better. I cannot wait

so if I am recalling this correctly, we had about 3" on Christmas, 6" on Tuesday of last week, an inch or two on Wednesday of last week, around 10" on Thur/Fri, and about 3" yesterday. If my memory is any good, that puts us at around 23-24" for the season so far, right?

Somebody needs to come in and compete against NFM I am sickof that place. Overpriced and poor selection especially in specific electronics. I lived in Seattle and went to Ikea all the time great store especially for those who heed afordable furnature and home goods. i don't think i've ever heard an...

i mean, yes, having more gates is great, but doubling the space inside is what is going to really make it feel better. They can do a lot with maximizing the gates they have to increase volume. But you can't do that unless you have the room on the inside of the building ya know? Yep, we can always h...

however the 370 corridor leads directly to Gretna That would also be the #1 reason why businesses wouldn't want to consider this area. Often, businesses show interest in this area, open shop and then see sales decline real quick and close. Talking to someone at Hy-vee they mentioned that sales were...

Looks like the core jumped up again. Going to be about as tall as the library was within a few weeks I imagine. you know, i drove by yesterday on my way home and thought it looked taller :) I didn't get a picture of it, but the tower crane for mutual was hanging over Douglas, and so was the crane a...

I think it looks fantastic! It exceeds what i thought they were actually going to do. My only gripe? ...it's not already done yet. Looks like a much more modern and comprehensive airport. More/better food options, more room, better flow. But not so big that it compromises one of the things I love mo...

thenewguy

I dunno, it seems ok? Maybe a little eccentric with the wall coverings and floor but looks nice overall. Then again, I don't think my wife would share in my desire to live downtown, so I'm in no position to seriously critique anything :) I'd say it's OK. But for the work I'd expect out of it, maybe...

thenewguy

yep that pretty much answered my questions

dam. that's a lot. I have relatives that live in Oakton and they have commented on how much development has been happening in and around DC. I guess they weren't lying.

To my memory, jLofts on 13th and Jackson remains the last new for-sale condos completed in downtown Omaha. Was that 2007? I feel like this reflects the culture/market of Omaha far more than the regulatory environment. Omaha just doesn’t seem like a Condo town, it may become one someday , but not ye...

how do street cars far when it is icy/snowy? honest question, since i'm a proponent of the street car. we went to NFM over the weekend and took dodge down to 72nd. There were 2 semis in the east bound lane that got stuck at around 39th. I assume a street car is going to be heavier and won't stop lik...

i seriously doubt it, but Gronk still looks in playing shape, so maybe if it was a package deal? :) Belichick to Dallas would sound good on paper, but he's old. Maybe they will wait until after the playoffs when they could offer it to a younger coordinator and try to breathe some fire into the team ...

Good for him. Hope he stays in the NFL this time.

thenewguy

yeah, me too. I saw the trailer down there over the weekend and couldn't remember if anyone mentioned it. Then I remembered I already commented on it almost 3 months ago...and got depressed no progress has been made

haha. there have been a few users over the years that I'm sure made it into several people's 'foes' list Someone once explicitly told me I had haha ha there've only been a few people that ever really bugged me, so I ignored them at the time (cause I don't think the foe list was around back then).

I think Rusty is best, close-close 2nd is Bill. They are both great on tv and don't seem to be as excitable as, say, Jim Cantorre. But Jim Flowers seems to be almost dead-on with weather, and does a great job explaining the science behind it too.

I'm pretty sad to be missing out on the beautiful new white snow.

it's ok, but it's coming with some pretty cold air, too. That's what i'm not excited for.
