The Vortex Tower seemed more realistic and aesthetically pleasing and that was one of the most hideous projects ever.

I apologize if this has already been covered but have there been any plans released for the Fyzical Therapy building on 39th and Farnam?

The design is really nice. The only negative I’ll say is any of the CHI parking lots would have been a much better location. I think you’d have to pry those out of MECA’s cold, dead hands. Very true, I have a feeling the lots are going to stay undeveloped for a long time. Really hope I am wrong.

The Dakota Dome used to have the same setup for basketball as the Kibbie Dome in Idaho. It is indeed an awful setup for basketball and creates a terrible atmosphere.

my cars are 5, 13, 18 and 51 years old. 🤣 I drive them until they're cost prohibitive to keep.. I have three... 12, 15 & 57 possibly replace my 18 year old Honda (which I still love too.. Brad can relate, hah). I love my Honda Element, its over 230,000 miles now! If it died tomorrow, I would de...

I am still perplexed by the Capitol District. There are times I have been there and it was decently buzzing when there is an event at CHI or Steelhouse, but then other times it is a ghost town with no one in the center court area at all (both in the winter and summer). I haven't been down there lat...

Interesting reading this thread, I have never been bothered by kids in a bar or restaurant. Growing up, it was also commonplace to tag along with our parents when they went to the tavern.

I've been wondering the same thing.

Ok some people think it’s strange how much I care about buildings, construction, etc. We’re all bizarre here.

Just my $.02. If your restaurant is struggling but you believe in it, use social media to inform customers about struggles and ask for patronage to try and increase business, try to change up how you’re doing things, or get outside investors. Using gofundme to help your struggling business just does...

Having just returned from my annual trek to Key West, Florida, I’m always reminded each time I visit of the fact that non auto-centric communities do exist in the U.S. Probably more so than almost any small city in the country Mackinac Island in Michigan banned all motor vehicles in the 1800s. It’s...

I have never been to the Southport location under this name or Hail Varsity. wonder if this is a total change of ownership or "francising" the name for the Gretna location. Didn't Benning leaveing Corospond with leaving 1620 and then eventually ending up on 590? I always thought that this...

Haven’t heard any word.

I am pretty confused by their entire business model. Is their main location even doing well? They got rid of the Hail Varsity magazine, laid people off, Damon Benning suddenly quit and I never heard a real reason why. It feels like they have investors with a bunch of ideas but none are being execute...

Would I still drive on a street if I had to? Probably.

Brice Williams has been pretty impressive so far, 25 points yesterday in 28 minutes, shooting 52% from the field.

So before the game on Wednesday, Ramel Lloyd Jr's Dad essentially tweeted out that he was playing that night. Then he was a late scratch. Will be interesting to see if he just jumped the gate a bit or if a more serious setback occurred. We should learn more if he plays on Saturday in Sioux Falls. T...

At $30/pie Vala's certainly doesn't qualify as "cheap eats". I mean, sure, it's a paid-for promo spot on Channel Third and not an actual report on discovered inexpensive gems around the city. But, damn, even Hy-Vee's pumpkin pies are half that cost. $30 for a pie? I'm with the $6 Costco o...

Has anybody ever been to Legends in KC and thought “yeah we need another one of these”? Every time I have been there my impressions are it is a giant cluster f^ck that is already showing it’s age. I would say if they incorporated a version of the Garmin or Scheels Soccer Complex in KC it would bring...

A little before Oak View was announced another mall was proposed where Paypal (Kiewit?) is now. The race was on to see who could sign anchors and get financing. In the end Oak View won and the other mall obviously never happened. I thought at the time that the location for Oak View was inferior to ...

Thanks Jacob. Definitely not as unique as what was originally proposed and it looks like they added a parking lot.

I've been to Tupelo Honey a couple of times already, and it is good food. The south side of the Mercantile is going to be a really cool area once the rest of the restaurants fill in. It will be even better once the land south of there gets developed. Has there been any news recently about what is g...

The building is pretty ugly. It reminds me of those DIY wood walls people slap up.

Thanks for the info. This would be massive and certainly seem to throw a wrench in the civic plans.

49r was a great dive bar replaced by just a garbage development for that neighborhood I think that's a little unfair for the development. Its right on Dodge, and Dodge has stripped so much from the area. The CVS actually fits the area just fine. The problem is Dodge needs major work to bring back t...

It makes me suspect something big is going to be announced sooner rather than later.

That would be awesome, this lot needs to be developed.

I’m still a bit confused as to why the influence of Tom Osborne is so significant that they can’t sell alcohol with him alive. What’s he gonna do if they start selling alcohol while he’s alive? Is everyone just worried about upsetting him and nothing else? Waiting for him to die and basically openl...

Bring back a dinner theater in the Old market like The Firehouse was. Hard to believe it has been closed for 20 years if I remember correctly. That is based on it closing a couple of years after we moved back to Nebraska 100% agree.. And I’ll add- Bring back the HOWARD STREET TAVERN! Live music has...
