UNMC wants to move it south of Dodge. Â Give it usable space for more research towers between bit and the cemetery. Â
The thing about that is that there is a creek under the road, so handling the water has to be factored in. Â UNMC's plan to open the creek and create some pondage and green space would help the leavenworth street floods. Â
Pretty soon the west edge of UNMC will start encroaching on elmwood park. Â One of our outposts is at the architecture building on 50th. Â Just a matter of time...

I am not a fan of Wal-Mart, but I agree, a WalMart Market is better than the empty building we have now.
I overheard a (pretty loud) discussion at a restaurant the other day...sounded like one of the guys was the owner of the Westlake Hardware store next to the old Target. Â He said that Walmart will take over the north end of the building and have a new north entrance. Â The southern part of the building will have a few retail bays. Â He sounded a little miffed that it would take back some parking lot space that he uses for mulch sales and such...

I just heard yesterday that things are already not looking good for them.iamjacobm wrote:Bye-Bye No Frills if this happens.
As for Wal-Mart moving to the location of the old Target building - it's about time someone came in and filled that vacant space! I also heard yesterday that they were planning on something like 9 locations around town.
So if a mini Walmart moves into the old Target space that's been vacant for years it's good. Okay, that makes sense. I agree. But in turn the same neighborhood might lose No Frills, leaving an equally-large retail space empty a block away. If that happens it seems like we'd be back to square one here.OSILayer8Support wrote:I just heard yesterday that things are already not looking good for them.iamjacobm wrote:Bye-Bye No Frills if this happens.

I hope No Frills stays and I wish Goodwill would've gotten that old Target space instead. Ah well.
I would take No Frills (LOCAL) over Walmart any day of the week.

Ah, I see now. That would make more sense.

So kind of a main street sort of concept?iamjacobm wrote:A little clearer info on what I most recently heard. Target building gone, Wal-Mart in a new building facing north retail bays between Westlake and Wal-Mart. The retail bays wouldn't face Saddle Creek though, they would face each other looking north and south at each other.

I suppose I was correcting him but I was confused by the post as well. Â I didn't know if there were stores branded Nash Finch in Omaha also. Â Either way I get it now.Brad wrote:Yes they own both now, Greg had a typo and Novak was correcting him.HR Paperstacks wrote:Didn't Nash Finch buy both Bag N Save and No Frills?NovakOmaha wrote:You mean No Frills?Greg S wrote:With Nash Finch and Bag N Save both now being owned by Nash Finch, going to be interesting to see which ones they close.

Yeah a bit. Â It won't be anything too crazy though from what it sounds. Â They said they expecting or looking more for like insurance office and dentist office type places more than retail stores.HR Paperstacks wrote:So kind of a main street sort of concept?iamjacobm wrote:A little clearer info on what I most recently heard.

I worked for Wal-Mart as a cashier for almost 4 years in the past and I would say they aren't cruel to their employees. All the |expletive| that's in the news is mostly hype started by unions mad about the fact that Wal-Mart refuses to join a Union. Unless you have worked there yourself and have experienced cruel treatment, you have no grounds to say it. So sick of the wal-mart bashing lol... I used to work there - but don't shop there much due to the crappy people that shop there...that's the only disgust I have with the store. Besides, Target is closer to me.Anonymous wrote:As if Wal-Mart is.Guest2 wrote:Ya. No Frills needs to go. They are not nice to their employees.
I heard that the whole property is going to be cleared for a mixed use project. Â From what I heard, there is going to be two buildings and a parking garage. Â One of the buildings is going to have ground floor retail (Walmart) and five floors of apartment homes above. Â The other building will be the same height and will be an Extended Stay hotel.

Not sure why you would think this is such a stretch. Â By the sound of it, it's been confirmed that Walmart is going locating a store on this property. Â With the popularity of Midtown Crossing, Aksarben Village, and Downtown, I can see where there could be a demand for more apartments in this area. Â As for an Extended Stay Hotel, I think a lot of times they put these kind of hotels near hospitals.
Wow, we started this rumor over a year ago!

An attorney for Walmart has been in informal contacts with the city for about a year, said Omaha City Councilman Chris Jerram, who represents the area.
