A bunch of us saw The Flash at the 4D Max screen here. See the movie and in this format. This was freaking unbelievable. It was very much like being on a ride. The Flash was a movie that also did a great job in showcasing the different features of this screen. In a normal theater, this was probably ...

I’m not sold on the place. We stopped in last night to watch the end of Florida/Virginia. The atmosphere is nice - the place looks cool, no doubt. The pricing is crazy though. It’s a sports bar that wants 19 dollars for a cheeseburger, 58 dollars for a steak (which is higher than J Gilbert’s next do...

At the end of the story, they mentioned that the current owner is confident the building will be sold be the end of the year.....lets hope so. For real. They sure had a funny way of showcasing their building that they’re trying to sell…. I thought the prior investor found the structural issues when...

Don’t bother buying from this Brad Williams guy. Zero photos of WallStreet Tower or Wild Escape. Lol! I do have plenty of other things that don's exist... ConAgra HQ, Rosenblatt, The lagoon at GLM, Old Downtown Library, Civic Auditorium. Brad, Brad, Brad.........I sent tons of friends to you that w...

Two recent ones I tried for the first time and really enjoyed both:

Chiltepes (Guatemalan) at about 23rd and N.
Taste of Thailand (uh...Thai) at about 156th and Center.

We shopped here and grabbed a dessert last week. Loved it. Hope the place does well and really want to get one of their sandwiches next time.

Super great news for both schools. Would love to see the Aviation school become a bigger name, considering SAC and the Eppley expansion occurring here.

I wouldn't broadly categorize people who live in the suburbs as lazy or less health minded. I would say most American suburbs simply make it hostile/impossible to walk to places. This doesn't mean people who live there aren't interested in healthy restaurants for those reasons. Fairpoint and yes th...

I’d put the Smoked Sausage at Porkybutts up there.

No surprise. It’ll be a good spot for them.

Did they sell / spin off Pirate Putt in Council Bluffs? That used to be one of their locations too.

There are a LOT of vacant lots, parkland, and just empty spaces in north Omaha. Yes, there are parts with many small homes on the same block but overall this isn’t exactly urban density paradise. Anyways, this three year old thread from a poster under suspicion that’s supposedly from NYC has probabl...

Hotel makes the most sense.

NEDodger

It's just less than 3 miles to get to eppley from the proposed end of the line. It would require UPRR crossing which wouldn't be cheap, otherwise, going through lots of green areas is relatively cheap. Yes, you're right though streetcars promote development, it would really spur development in the ...

And of course confirmation bias plays a part too.

That and, well, data.

Some hate the plan, some love it. Driving home past the area from the baseball game tonight, I will say this: This hopefully pushes momentum to get a residential/hotel high-rise on the old Union Pacific lot.

I can only imagine how vibrant our downtown will be, we are doing many great things!

Nice shot!

Our target is downtown dwellers and Creighton students. Most students ride bicycles, because they can't afford a car and tuition. https://i.postimg.cc/SJn6JDM9/publicsquare.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HrGyjHHG/publicsquare2.jpg Unless you’ve got money in this, there is no “our target”.

This development is still going to happen. The project is still evolving. One office tenant has pulled out, and two other office tenants will be taking their place, with additional office space required to meet their needs. An announcement probably won’t come until summer. Any updates, friend? Head...

The more I think about it, the more I think this could work. If they had a central area with a small number of bars and restaurants, it would be fantastic during the CWS, especially since it isn't really that far from the mattress factory, etc, and would draw people towards the core. It'd be great ...

No news or rumors. Just thought this was funny (and sad) when I was looking at downtown today on google maps for something. https://i.postimg.cc/FfS8YMpS/UP-Site-GM.png https://i.postimg.cc/gxQ1kzVd/Review.png ah, lots of fond memories of ol' Randolph Park as a lad. Glad to see it hasn't changed. B...

That can’t make the restaurants and other businesses at that intersection very happy. I think it will just move the problem to 69th Street as eastbound traffic desiring to access businesses on the north side of Dodge will have little choice but to make U-turns at 69th. There are absolutely no other...

https://public.earthcam.net/omahariverfront/omaha_riverfront/glm/view_1 Thanks for the link.. I’m not sure that’s a tower crane. Can anyone verify?.. I know they now have 3 cranes there, at least from what I saw last Saturday.. None of which were tower cranes as of yet… Ciao..LiO…Peace They appear ...

Awesome find for sure. The park “snapshot” cameras are cool, but it’s more interesting to see the active work being done.

NEDodger

For what the civic site is and where it's located, this is a pretty ambitious project. I agree and I am going to go out on a limb here, its too ambitious and it will never happen. Nothing against White Lotus, but they just don't have what it will take to get this off the ground. They are competing ...

I'd have to see examples but it does sound a bit dystopian to walk or bike through a tunnel like that. Perhaps the Maastunnel then? https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/maastunnel https://i.postimg.cc/Yj8VVspt/maastunnel-featured-1.webp Probably not ideal, but we really need to start finding ways to...

I can’t see Creighton bringing back football. More schools are dropping rather than adding the sport, due to how expensive it’s gotten. Better to keep your athletic budget focused on basketball.

NEDodger

Friends- I’d like to reiterate (again) that this potential development is a long, LONG way from happening..and it might not happen in downtown at all. It’s more expensive to build there. It’s likely this development (whenever it happens) will locate in the traditional “mid town” area where the old ...

I'll reiterate my land trade idea: 1.) Give the Children's Museum land on the riverfront, across from the Luminarium. 2.) Use the current Children's Museum land to build this Police/Fire HQ. 3.) Sell the current Police and Fire HQ's land for redevelopment. You give the Children's Museum a better sit...

The temporary place was awful. It felt like their inventory really took a nosedive - while an occasional customer before, I was one and done in the new place. Glad to see the coffee shop is coming back and I hope they beef up their back stock.

The former Panera Bread looks to be under renovation. Anyone know what is moving in? Also, Office Max will be closing and from the sounds of it the building already has a lease with a new tenant. I do NOT know how the Office Max/Office Depot places stay open. The footage required for the buildings ...

Interesting. Is Gunderson’s moving from Village Pointe then? That seems awfully close for two locations.

NEDodger

Man, the Union Pacific building is going to look even lamer in comparison now. I hadn't even thought about that until seeing that model.

NEDodger

Now that Crossroads is getting developed, will developers pursue the Petco/Kinkos building on 72nd and Dodge? it seems like every few years someone wants to demolish this building and build a multi-story building there. Of course, the ideas have always fizzled out. This could be a hot property now....

That is interesting. May be trying to market the development to a grocery chain as an untapped market? Doesn’t hurt to advertise the situation.

NEDodger

I get having somewhat of parking availability. If I’m a grocery store and am investing significant money in this (while everyone is saying that I need to be affordable, in a small profit margin industry…), I’m going to aim for every potential customer I can. I’m not going to relegate it to who can ...
