yeah, they said the success of the CWS would make or break the year.  Traffic still isn't up to expectations in north downtown, and beer gardens did surprisingly well despite the heat.  Being on the fringe of the action limited their ability to be a hot spot, unlike the mat or slowdown.

Sad to see it go, the owners are incredibly good people, and Barley's has some of the best bar food (IMO) around.  The nachos are especially delectable.

That's the weird thing.  That place is close to the stadium.  Early on they had a bunch of stuff around their place and just did not get the crowds.  There isn't much available for the future that is closer to the stadium.

Omaha Fashion Week is moving to a permanent location.

The group that operates the biannual fashion show plans to purchase the Tip Top Ballroom at 1502 Cuming St. and renovate the space for its permanent headquarters, set to open in March.

The Omaha Design Center, as it will be called, will host Omaha Fashion Week’s March and August shows, plus other fashion events. It will include office space, retail space, a bar and a ballroom, which can be rented out for weddings and other events.

This will be a good location for it. Hopefully, it'll draw more people to the area outside the CWS.

I am not sure if this was mentioned, but I did not see any threads or comments about it. It couldn't have been done too long ago, but from their page it looks like it is a renovated Ford assembly/Tip-Top products building; now called the "Tip Top Lofts". They actually look like pretty nice units, and the views from the rooftop are excellent.

I should probably sharpen my searching skills.
