Why does everything on this forum have to turn in to a naming discussion... Names just happen.

Indeed, they do.
Juliet Capulet might disagree, but I think there is A LOT in a name.
Here's where there always seems to be confusion. People don't understand or realize that "Midtown" is a proper name for a specific area of the city, just like Downtown, South Omaha, Dundee, Benson, etc. So, to say "Dundee is in Midtown" is inaccurate. Dundee is Dundee and Midtown is Midtown. The confusion arises when people use the term "midtown" geographically. To avoid confusion, I tend to use the term "central Omaha" or "in the middle of the city," or just avoid that kind of language all together and refer to specific intersections, for example "the 42nd and Center area," or "the 120th and Maple area."
The funny thing is that I've heard the 90th and Dodge area called "Midtown" AND "West Omaha" by various media sources.

Thanks Coyote. Â It was quite simple; all i did was upload the vid to photobucket and selected a song and let it do it's thing.
Also, what's up with the lack of love? Â The thread was almost on the second page. Â Anyway, is it because it's not DT or what? Â I mean, a 12 story building that received high praise from Omaha by Design and will be a catalyst for their vision in a civicly important corridor for Omaha isn't substantial? Â Whew, maybe we just forgot or there were no updates to talk about.

1. its not downtown and about 75% of this forum doesn't care about anything west of Dundee, which is really sad.
2. Its not controversial, so they can't wast hours and hours beating a dead horse!
I am excited, just get moving on it so I can post pictures of it.

Oh god, of course I think this is a GREAT starting point for what I hope will be a trend along Dodge Street.
It's just hard to get any more excited about it when there hasn't been any visible progress. Â When steel starts to rise, it will be a different story.

Quick Update:
80 Dodge will more than likely be seeing a decrease from 72 units to 56 units. Â This is to maximize the amount of windows and to reconfigure some of the units. Â Developers still looking at the new plans but will likely come to a decision fairly soon.
With that, we are over 25% reserved and have commitments for 50% of the commercial space.
Also, on Tuesday we got the preliminary approval from the City Council.

Still the same amount of floors?

Great Photos Josh!
We talked about critique.... The first one, you need to move to the left about two feet due to the reflection in the window. Also, did you use a tripod? Â I am wondering about your f stop if you were.

I was thinking with no wind, no movement, just do some really long exposures so you could shoot with a much higher f stop and get more focus on the entire scene.
Still great photos.

Did anyone go to their wine tasting (or whatever) event last night?
I saw a poster downtown advertising the event, and it seemed to have a pretty cool looking new rendering. Â I looked on the web site and didn't see it.

I did.
I'll post some pictures of the event later when I have more time.
If any of you would like to be put in the database for any future invites or updates, please PM me or email.

Here is a little thing I put together for everyone.

Also, prices will be increasing on Nov 29th. Â The developers haven't told us by how much yet. Â So if anyone has a particular unit in mind, it would be a good time to put in your non-binding reservation to lock in the current prices before they continue to go up.

With 80 Dodge, the new Beverly Hills Plaza, and the new buildings built for the hospital, this area will be completely unrecognizable!
On a long enough timeline, the entire area really will look something a little like the vision that Omaha by Design had for the area. Â

Throw on things in the midtown area like Midtown Crossing and new Saddle Creek Rd, the Dodge street corridor will be completely unrecognizable!

They better get demolishing for an April 1 ground breaking.
