Does Allied Signal still have a presence at the Bannister Complex. I remember in high school, our govt. teacher was excited to tell us that in the event of global nuclear war, we would be one of the first targets due to Allied Signal making non-nuclear components to nuclear missiles as well as othe...

My mistake, thanks for clearing that up.
Is the one in the in the P & L District equally obnoxious?

Is he smoking? 
I thought the district was smoke free.

I was there last saturday and saw the dress & conduct code (the posted list their is longer than the one in this thread).  I've been there three times in the last 30+/- days and it's always been a mixed crowd of old geezers (me) and youngens.  I guess I don't understand what it is all about. 

and the Blochs

THIS house originally cost $1.5 million to build in 1972.  To give you some comparison.  The Playboy Mansion (LA one) was sold in 1971 for $1.1m, which was at that time, a record for Los Angeles real estate.  So Omaha had a mansion worth more than any house (so far) in Los Angeles in 1972.  And now...

Maybe a 1200+/- room convention hotel?

This is not Denver or Atlanta or Dallas or Minneapolis where developers put up risky towers and wait out the market. Places like Denver or Atlanta or Seattle or..... do go through periods of high vacancies, but they build millions of sq ft of space and lease millions of sq ft of space in the proces...

Slightly off-topic, but is the Fluffy Fresh in Mission related to the Fluffy Fresh at 103rd and State Line? The fate of Western Civilization hangs on the answer... Don't know what the connection is with the name but I do know they are different owners.  The one on State Line is called Charlie Pike'...

Wasn't it a German deli?

Tosspot I don't know how to post it but mine is one of your downtown skyline shots from 2006. (thanks)

What happened to the spell check?

^ I've been to Conseco Field House, Target Center, Savvis (sp) and the Pepsi Center.  I think the Sprint Arena is nicer than any of those (just my opinion).

I think this is your best work yet, definitely my new favorite Toss Pot photos.

Know that Grid has seen it, how do I change the title to something more appropriate.

Ya got me.
