They will be adding another mural to the front of mutual this week. Apparently it will be a huge tiger.

That's FANTASTIC news!

The swimmer looked tight as hhhell last year.

Its part of their "Wild about Omaha" (or whatever the name is) celebration.... Expect it to be up for most of the summer.

They're starting to hang another banner on the Mutual of Omaha building. The only photo I could find was on Facebook.

Fancy! Can't wait 'til it's completely unraveled.

I noticed the other day the lights were all set up. The banner should be going up this week!

I may have made a boo boo. I post some links to photos of this in "Photography & Videos"

I haven't been down that far yet. I can merge them if you want or since they are your photos I can leave the photos in the photo section?

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 11:02 am

No worries. I wouldn't call them "my" photos. I found them on the web and just posted the links. :;): You can merge if you'd like, makes no difference to me.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 1:00 pm

It's all the way down! That's large and in charge, fo sho & a little scary.

Same as with a link but instead of url use img.

Does that work with Facebook?

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 1:11 pm

Yes. Just right click on any picture and copy the properties. Paste it, then use the [img] and [/img] tags.

It's SO cool that they're doing another giant banner like this. This is type of thing looks KICKASS and is really the kind of thing that shows Omaha to be an exciting, cosmopolitan city because it's SO visible.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 8:04 am

Hope this works. I right clicked, went to properties and grabbed the URL.

[EDIT] you did it right, but forgot the tags, its fixed now

So would it be ok if everyone hung a giant sign on the entire side of their building? Just curious about what folks on here think.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 8:11 am

From what I understand it's not that simple. There are a lot of city permits and hoops to jump through. I think we should just appreciate that this is something super-cool that Mutual is doing and leave it at that.

I've heard that the lights at night are really cool - someone here should try to snap a pic. Hint hint!

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:28 am

The link, about 3 posts up, is a night picture. And I just found out that the green leaves "sway".

Post by **Brad** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 11:37 am

I went to shoot some pics the other night, but they were not on yet and I was in a hurry.

I LOVE this.

Yeah it's pretty sweet. I'll have to see about getting a vid clip of it since the leaves move around.

On a side note, when I drove by the other night there was a large area of broken glass out on Dodge street. The banner and lights might be a bit too cool.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 1:06 pm

Another fun fact - someone at Mutual told me that there are 2 special orange spotlights that are pointed at the eyes. If you saw this pic on the front page of the Midlands section today it looks creepy, but totally rad.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 1:10 pm

Here's the pic from the paper I was talking about. Christ, I hope I did this right. :-)

No offense, but I expect more from the World Harold.

Their photos are usually great. They have several Award Winning photographers, but I just don't get that photo...

It's lopsided, and taken from a lazy angle. Twenty more feet west and the photographer would've been centered.

Drove by this last night on the way to RHPS, it looks tres cool.

I don't think the original photo in the OWH was that tilted, and it had more lights towards the bottom.

Midtown Gal · Post by **Midtown Gal** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:48 am

There's a time lapse video of the banner going up.

|expletive| awesome.

Once again, good pics Brad.

Totally agree. Were the police coming for you in that first photo? I like how you did the two different exposures.

Post by **Brad** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:27 pm

Thanks Guys!
