That’s a very interesting slide show. Sad to see so many of the beautiful old buildings have disappeared.

It is sad, but I think it’s worse. Has done a little bit better than Omaha with keeping most of the core downtown.

My biggest gripe with Downtown CB is the Tyson plant right on the south end of DT.

Yes that does stink, but I am sure the city loves the tax base especially since they have expanded numerous times.

I really think they have done good things with the 100 block in the past decade.
