The Limelight (16th and Harney)
Moderators: Coyote, nebugeater, Brad, Omaha Cowboy, BRoss
So excited to see how this place turns out, especially when/if they redo that stretch of 16th street. Out of all the apartments being built downtown, this one is my favorite.
When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that not only does God exist, you're doing his will.

Hi,
Here is a picture taken from OPPD today.
At one point ten workers were (freezing) on the roof.

Re: The Limelight (16th and Harney)
Ok, I get the name association being next to the Orpheum, but Limelight!?
Who beside the self absorbed (i.e. theater people, who probably can't afford to live there anyway), would want to live within such pretentious sounding confines? I'd be embarrassed to say "I live in the Limelight".
What's wrong with just calling it The Lerner or Lerner Lofts?

In the 70s & 80s people who lived in a certain development fell into three catagories. Some said they lived off of 99th & Dodge, some said they lived near Westroads, and the rest proudly announced that they lived in Regency. No kidding.

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact
[Chorus:]
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme
Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage
RUSH - Limelight From their Spirit Of The Radio album

It still cracks me up that some of the biggest hot button issues on this forum are Project Names!

Nice! thanks for posting those.
Re: The Limelight (16th and Harney)
I wouldn't say it's a hot button issue but rather indicative of how ridiculous the marketing for shopping centers and living spaces has become.Brad wrote:It still cracks me up that some of the biggest hot button issues on this forum are Project Names!

Re: The Limelight (16th and Harney)
Probably lots of extra reinforcement on those walls with all the windy days we've had. Terrible time of year to not be enclosed with the project.
Re: The Limelight (16th and Harney)
This project is looking great! Love what's going on DT lately!
Re: The Limelight (16th and Harney)
Brad: I like your photos
The views from the building are a lot better than one would assume. I also love that photo showing the floor trusses before they were covered with plywood. Something about all the lines is soothing...
