This forum takes JPG... The thousands of photos I posted are all JPG?

There is a thread stickied at the top of the photo section "How To Post Pictures"

Use the "birds eye" tool. The maps on this site are more up to date than google's.

I just looked at this. It's pretty cool - really gives you a perspective on how big some of the parks/cemeteries really are. Also, I had to laugh at all the "bridges to nowhere" on the 480/75 exchange by Creighton.

Based on water resort construction, the area around my hotel looks to be from summer 2007.

Wow, whoever drew up crossroads really wasted their time. There are so many more buildings that need to be on there, especially ones that we know will be around for quite a while.

It was Ryan, the one who made one first national, UP, World Herald, Central Park, and North Natural Gas.

Whats new?

Post by **Brad** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:41 am

Never mind, I see it. Its a VERY UNREALISTIC building where the new hotel was going to be built on 12th street in the old market across from Ted and Wally's

I think Google needs to remove that

Oh give me a break, click on that one story building to read the description.

Omaha Old Market EZ Park
Modeled by: mmotaba
Description: Omaha's Old Market - EZ Park, Pay parking lot. Popularily asked about in real life due to the news coverage and nightly break-ins. This lot is fine during the day but high crime in the dark hours. (Resident, many time victim)

Did you "report it"?

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:19 pm

Some 5th grader must of done that. I didn't even notice it at first.

I was bored and browsing places on google earth today and i just happened to come across this. I thought it was pretty funny. Just west of Rachel, NV (near area 51)

In a massive marketing venture, the revamped logo for KFC, featuring a trimmer-looking Colonel Sanders sporting a funky red apron, was launched in the Nevada desert near top-secret Area 51. The 87,500 square foot Colonel Sanders logo is off Rt. 375, "Extraterrestrial Highway", in Rachel, Nevada. The massive logo consisted of 54,000 Snap Lock Tiles, in five different colors. Work on the logo started in November 2006, but it was removed as of April 2007.

The last one was maybe the most amazing. But the herds of animals are also awesome.

Ryan has now made First National center and the Double tree along with the Parking Structure nearby, he has made the Dale W. Clark Library, he has also made a renovated Crossroads that includes Macy's and Norstrom's along with a renovated Dillards and Sears. It also keeps the 6 story parking Garage attached to Dillard's and Nordstrom's, and thats all so far.

There are A LOT of new Streetview images of Omaha now on Google Maps and Google Earth. Eastern Omaha now as a larger representation of Streetview images than it did before. The images look like they came from summer of this year so not everything looks brown and dull like the previous images. Unfortuately, the front camera seemes to have had a smudge on it, so many of the images are a quarter blurry.

Council Bluffs now has a few images as well. Mostly just along Broadway though.

Bomaha · Post by **Bomaha** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 2:07 pm

You can see me driving my family's minivan on Streetview. I'm not just saying that. It really is me. you can't see my face but i know that its me.

Someone has added 4 absolutely HORRIBLE models to google earth!

Courthouse... List I checked the south side was more than 2 stories
City County Building is all crooked
The Reddick isn't the right color
The pedestrian bridge is just bad... really really bad!

Garrett · Post by **Garrett** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:56 pm

And Wallstreet tower is there too.... weird.

OmahaJaysCU · Post by **OmahaJaysCU** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 7:40 pm

Also found:

Crossroads
2 hotels on L and I 80
Landmark Group (480 and Douglas)

The Courthouse is actually the Library building (the back is at least).

Those actually look decent. I think someone posted that some hotels do their own.

OmahaJaysCU wrote: The Courthouse is actually the Library building (the back is at least).

Your right. Its the library on three sides and the courthouse on the front!

Isn't there a way to report these?

Garrett · Post by **Garrett** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:48 am

I'll see what I can do. AT&T building is also in now, and it looks fine, but Orpheum is there too and its aweful, like the city-county building. And Still, wallstreet tower?

Edit: Looking more Lied and St. Cecilias are also in now too.
