I don't know how much actual building/construction is involved with Meow, but I've been to many Instagram places around the world, and there's not much to build. I think if we could slap together some kind of Instagram exhibit inside the building for a few years it would be a decent use of the space while we wait for development to catch up.
It's pretty common to have buildings that are nothing more than exhibit space. We went to a Batman exhibition in London, and they had a batmobile, a bunch of costumes and props, etc. You just walk through various "rooms" which are nothing more than temporary walls set up in a very temporary space. But you'd be surprised what you can do with lighting, projectors, some smoke effects, etc. Looked really professional, even though I'm sure it took about 5 mins to put together.
We might benefit from having more space dedicated for rotating "in" things like Meow.
Yep, just slap some stuff up and give people an attraction to pay $9 to see.
Pay some influencers to make some tik toks or whatever the kids use nowadays.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
$9 sounds like 1985 prices. Meow Wolf, for example ranges on average of mid to upper 30’s and closer to $50 in Vegas.
Not sarcasm, I just don't go out much
I just checked the Meow Wolf website. Wow, that's expensive.
With over $1 billion invested in Omaha's urban core, this 350,000+ SF property in the heart of Downtown Omaha is a "catalyst" parcel for the ongoing redevelopment in our city. Situated between revitalized urban parks, a $950 million airport expansion, and the new Omaha streetcar route, the property is primed for the developing future of our city.
Given there is not much information, would the plausible assumption be that the purchasing party is going to reuse this building? I know it is being marketed as a "catalyst" site within the "developing Omaha urban core", but considering the facility is only 25 years old, it still has a good amount of lifespan left.
