When I was out there the other day, it looked like grading for the hotel was going on.

That is what I was thinking too.

I think the Madonna is right along dodge. When I was out there the other day, it looked like grading for the hotel was going on.

We have a heck of a lot of hotel construction right now.

This thread has been in existence for eight years and no one has pointed out that, in the title, "Point" should be spelled "Pointe".

I always thought they just misspelled it on all signs out there.

I'm thinking we may be getting oversaturated with them.

Maybe not as much as you might think due to more than a few events every year that pack out nearly hotel in the city. CWS week has both CWS and a massive Little League tournament that sells out nearly every hotel in the city for a couple weeks. Not to mention the new big events Omaha has been hosting recently... These companies have to do market research before deciding to build a large new hotel.

It looks like it's a Home 2 Suites by Hilton.... off 178th & Dodge (actually 178th & Chicago west of the other hotel/Village Pointe) being built. I hope I'm not too late posting this (did someone else already?) but I just started digging on the permits site.

This thing looks more urban than both of the hotels in NDTO.

Holy nuts, you're right!! You know you screwed up badly when suburban West Omaha out-urbanizes urban East Omaha...

Rumor has it Athleta is coming to VP.
Athleta Is "the premier fitness fashion brand for women who see being healthy and fit as vital to life.
Power to the She."
It looks like a Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic store...

Was at VP on Friday. Looks like they are redoing access road on north side by Dodge, and adding adjacent parking. Does not surprise me, that place always seems to have a good crowd.

They added a bunch of parking as some Saturdays, some people were parking their pickups up on the grass. We are wondering if they will require store employees to park out there.

Funny, I had a drink date at Cheeseburger the other day and didn't even notice this, I thought you were kidding.
A sidewalk and landscaping going in on the south side...:

Pancheros has closed down. Likely due to the continual health violations. Any word on what's replacing it?

I liked the Queso too and that really leaves a food gap at VP.

Apple is rolling out an updated look for their stores they are dropping the metallic facade for a classier light stone with an updated interior. Not sure how fast this will happen ergo when our store will get this treatment.

I'm suspicious of the word "classier" ...reminds me of an owner describing their Caddilac Fleetwood with the gold package and landau roof. ...but I'm sure it will look more innovative and fresh than that.

any photos of the new look prototype? A quick google search came up empty.

I was out at VP tonight and there is a large fenced -in construction area just northwest of Scheels north entrance. Not sure what is being built.

I've seen it too. Are they doing any actual construction there or is it just a safe place to leave the equipment while they are working inside the vacant shop bays?

Scheels is doing a fairly extensive remodel/update on the first floor and some updates on the second floor.

No just time for us to update. We have been wanting to for the last few years but decided to focus on building two new stores last year instead.

Still not the level of the remodel of the Lincoln store though!

Not sure what is happening at the dentist office behind the theater though....quite an expansion of that building.
