The list seems about spot on to me.

I've been to cities 2 and 3 within the past year and both seemed to have an insane amount of attractive ladies per capita.

They've spent half a decade planning to build this store. It's almost as if Steve Minard is the project manager.

Looks kinda '60s-ish. That diving board thing on the roof is pretty interesting though.

Awesome article...except they mislabeled the photo of the building in North Downtown with the mural on it as the Bemis Center.

A lot of my friends on the east coast used this service to travel between cities. Apparently the buses are incredibly nice with leather seats and wifi. I believe that prices start at $1, but as the seats fill up or as it gets closer to your travel date (I forget which) prices get more expensive.

There was a news snip in this month's Planning Magazine about one of the CVS's in Lincoln and an "unusual" situation surrounding it. Apparently the City of Lincoln marked a vacant lot as "historical" so that it could more accessibly move a historic house to that lot that is curre...

Ah, the thread where i posted my first e-omaha post.

..."Operation |expletive| Cream Guy"? What the heck was I into back then?

Food for thought - basically more fuel for the urbanist's (especially Streets's) fire:

Ha, I'd like to see you guys find a city (outside the state of Texas) that has "a lot going on right now" as far as urban development goes compared to Omaha. The boom is on hiatus everywhere.

I don't really understand why the push for a new arena has been revolving around what shows will perform there. I'm sure it will attract some shows that would otherwise pass the city by, but I think this arena should be built because it would be a great enhancement to downtown Lincoln and to Husker ...

I was speaking with one of their corporate people a week ago and he said they aren't looking anywhere right now. Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines and the rest of the midwest aren't on their radar when they do begin again. Texas maybe, Florida maybe, population centers where they can build many stor...

Yeah, but 89.7 plays a bunch of the emo/punk/garage band |expletive|. Omaha would do well with a radio station similar to the Sirius Lithium channel, I think. Way too Â much emo |expletive|. I wish 104.1 The Blaze in Lincoln had a stronger signal. They're a good rock station, but their signal was s...

I wonder if Nebraska Furniture Mart would have the same status level as IKEA does if they were to expand to other parts of the country (maybe rename it? heh...). If I remember correctly, NFM did the KC furniture market in significantly when they opened there.

She found it weird that they parked in a garage but had to go outside to the theater. Of course she's 78 so consider the source. I found that odd too. I figured the garage and theatre were connected, but they weren't. You have to go to the ground floor and walk over to the theatre. And then getti...

A couple other cities want to try this too; off the top of my head Flint, MI, and Youngstown, OH. I like the idea, just so long as they don't tear down some of the more architecturally significant buildings. Otherwise, it saves the city money in the long run and gets rid of a bunch of |expletive| ho...

Roja? Isn't one one too many? Not impressed with the food at that pseudo Mex place. I'd be more excited if La Mesa was coming downtown...or any real mexican restaurant. What Roja did you guys go to? I've never met anyone who doesn't like Roja. It's by far my favorite Mexican restaurant, and the a...

Hopefully they put this plan to action soon. I remember doing a little work on a presentational booklet about these when I had an internship with Omaha back in 2007.

I honestly think that a Macy's or Nordstrom would do it for Crossroads. That mall would thrive like never before with just a few rennovations. Omahans would come from far and wide for a Macy's. It would kill Von Maur and Westroads. It's something Nebraska has never had before. A rennovation at Cros...

A couple of months ago I read an article that was one of those ever-so-popular Top 10's. Like Top 10 Places to Raise a Cat, or Top Ten Cities For Over The Top Xmas Decorations. It was the 10 most likely malls to close nationwide, and yep, Crossroads was in it. Recognized nationally! I don't know...

I'm very surprised at the transient nature of many of the forumers here, ie. "I'm only here for such and such and will be going to wherever eventually". I am too even though I'm aiming to be one of them. Omaha will always be Homaha, but there's a whole big world out there and I've only re...

I'm in Omaha because my dad took a job here before I was born and my parents moved here from Lincoln. I'm still here because I've found a good job in the area and many of my friends and family are in Omaha. I plan on leaving eventually but contrary to most people not because i hate winter or I need ...
