Best Buy at Village Point?
Is this true, I read this on your development site, that Best Buy is one of the new planned tenants at Village Point. I haven't read this anywhere else. This would be awesome if so, Omaha could really use a third BB store (especially since the recent loss of Circuit City). Just looking for some clarification.

An interesting article on VP - a cross between the Old Market/Dundee and Oak view.

Yeah, I wouldn't have called it a 'cross' between the Old Market/Dundee and Oakview. I'd just call it an cozier Old Market like -retail/dining- atmosphere. Obviously there is no residential presence in Village Point. When they build a development which integrates in residential living as well (and replace all the surface parking with garage space) ... then we'll really have something.
No doubt though... Village Point provides an appeal far ahead of the garden variety malls/strip retail we've had thus far. Hopefully this will start a trend. To some extent... even the strip retail lining West Center between 168th and 180th is an improvement.
(suppose any street musicians will -drive out- to the suburban lifestyle centers to play?)

Speaking of which - I drove past Legacy Village and Legacy the other day. It appears more is being built around Upstreams parking lot - which the other day looked like there was a football game going on inside - how can that many people fit in that place. What is being developed there and a little further west in Legacy Village? Is

I think it's going to be fantastic as well... although as I've said before... I'm somewhat concerned about how they're going to handle traffic before 180th opens up (looks like two roads will take traffic there eventually). As far as I can tell... they've only got one left hand turn out of there onto 168th. I've seen quite a backup of just construction workers during the evening rush.
I can't wait to see what kind of atmosphere develops... with a fountain decor plaza... hearthplaces for warming up people on the sidewalk during the cool seasons. The central street... with its diagonal parking... definitely looks to favor the pedestrian. With all these new restaurants... Funny Bone... theatre... I can definitely see alot of people walking from one place to another. All they need is a good bookstore in there.

Yes Davenport or whatever street that is will connect with 180th eventually, it will be after Village Pointe is open though. The spot they are in make it tough for any other entrance/exit points. They are lobbying to put in some traffic lights out on 168th street cause it is killer trying to make a left.
Village Pointe Cinemas will open for the public on the 28th of May (hopefully).
