Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)

And as an aside, I gotta say, despite a lot of valid criticisms recently about her time spent outside of the city, Stothert has got to be one of the most impressive mayors Omaha has had, downtown development wise. I even say this as a pretty firm progressive, if she ran again and I was voting in Oma...

Re: Light Rail to Airport - Existing Track

In theory I love the idea of light rail to the airport, especially if it connects to this new development. But the more I think about it, I wonder if it would get enough use to justify it. Obviously with some of the big NCAA events at CHI, CWS , Berkshire Hathaway meeting, and the occasional conven...
