Sower gay or sower guy?
Big difference, Grandpa.
If it was sower gay, that satchel would be much more fashionable.

Re: Nebraska’s Top 10 Snobbiest Cities
Lol. Wymore/Blue Springs... It's not a terrible town. It's basically a typical rural Nebraska town that's lost 20-30% of their population since people started fleeing rural communities in the 80's. It's not too depressing, but it's very obvious that it's not what it once was. (Actually, the Blue Spr...

Re: Idea For A Graphic Design For New License Plates In 2017
I made another custom Nebraska plate. I enlarged the images and used black serial codes instead of brown ones. I've even included a sunset-like effect. I'll admit this isn't the best design in the world. You may not like it, but I think we can all agree it's better than the one that will be issued ...

Sort of looks like he's choking a goose in his pants.
Overall, I'm indifferent on the design. Doesn't look very inspiring, could look worse. Maybe inductive of how creative the state is, in general.

I'm sure it is, and I'm too lazy to sort through the thread to confirm that, but I also think there could possibly be long-term possibilities for that site.
Between those two local fortune 500's, it's probably the last hope for any local corporation to build anything significant downtown/midtown.

Re: New HDR Corporate Headquarters
I'd be interested to know how the size of Omaha's urban core, where there is a certain degree of density with mid-high rise structures, compares with other cities its size.
There may be a few small gaps, but the core basically stretches from north downtown to UNMC, if I'm correct?
