So I am in Brazil again for work; On their news channel today they brought up the Lady Gaga radio interview and her visits to Nebraska. They said most people outside the states don't know Nebraska, but it is one of the best places to live in the US by many sources.

I was actually in the area last night and decided to swing by. I found a round-about way of navigating through the closed roads. I landed up at the command center., where there were about 10 RV's and many other utility trucks. I spoke to the artistic director and she told me and 5 others that were t...

This is an old article, but there is activity on the lots. Trees have been removed, all the windows have been removed from the long slender apartment blocks on Mason and Park Ave, while it looks like they may be retucking the apartments on Leavenworth and Park Ave. Good to see things happening. ...

I could not really find much about 16th street in Omaha. I think this part of the city has great potential from Howard St. to the double tree. What i would love to see is something similar to the 16th Street pedestrian mall in Denver The 16th Street Mall is a pedestrian and transit mall in Denver, C...

Hmmm Â I actually really enjoyed my days at the park. I don't believe parking is an issue at all, there were many places to park - I never once had a problem. Traffic is very smooth! For the amount of pedestrians and cars it is not bad at all. I had more trouble navigating through the arts festival ...

Bye, CoCo Key; hello, Ramada If you're still correcting yourself — CoCo Key, not Holiday Inn — when you talk about the hotel, water park and convention center at 72nd and Grover Streets, stop.

That's what I thought but the article says at a bustling downtown - but then says 8 miles from downtown.

This is the current Crowne Plaza hotel in Old Mill, It is being slightly rennovated and rebranded into a Sheraton.

Yea I'm not sure about this so far.... I am young and don't know many of the bands, and I thought I knew a lot of music.... So far it seems like Stir has the edge so far. (although I liked Stirs line-up last year better)

When they first started installing it, I thought it was a wind turbine, but now I have no idea... A friend of mine works there. He says its just a new sculpture called "the vessel" looks like theres a big pole holding it in the middle http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/225653_...
