Husker Hounds in Holiday Inn on Cuming?

Post by Ben »

Looks like someone's rented the commercial bay in the Holiday Inn on Cuming St, in anticipation of the CWS.  Construction looks like it has begun, and there were some people looking over blueprints in Blue Line Coffee while I was there.  I didn't catch the entire conversation, but it sounds as if the store will be a Husker Hounds, capitalizing on the college / CWS apparel.

I'm wondering if this is going to be a temporary store, or if the cost of buildout is too much for only a temporary site, and we'll actually get them to stay open year round.

Just a random observation, but wow, there's a lot going on down here.  Between this construction, the paving of "the yard" (at least I'd assume that's what they're in the process of doing), and the 9ines building, there's got to be close to 100 contractors in a couple of block radius.  And that doesn't even count the large quantity of construction folk actually working on completing the stadium.
