Civic Auditorium may be coming down soon

Post by Guest »

Another big high-rise may soon be rising in downtown Omaha, this one where the Civic Auditorium now stands.  A real estate entrepreneur will be showing drawings of the $70-million high-rise he would build on the site at an upcoming city council meeting.  Razing the Civic Auditorium would permit a multi level parking garage for the proposed tower, which will have residential, office and commercial components.  The building, more than 40 stories tall, would also provide additional parking to address a shortage of parking in the downtown main core.  The new structure will definately demonstrate real estate developer's faith in Downtown Omaha's future and would more than likely help revitalize the area with even more development.

No April Fool's? I feel like that's a huge disclaimer on my life today.
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.

I could have sworn they were going to put a TGI Fridays on that location.

Happy April Fools to you all.  I will confess.  I'm the one who posted this bogus rumor.   It was just posted all in good fun and I hope it didn't ruin anybody's  day.
