Steve is schlepping out anything that will help the image he portrayed in the campaign article - disability hack on the public dime who stalks high school girls (so much so he moved his family to be closer to them).

The fact left out of the article is that it was failed from the start. The city of Omaha decided tha tit was more important to have a parking lot then one of the 5 remaining Cinerama screens left in the world. Not that it wasn't a great effort on the part of a lot of people but even with the help from people like Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh Sending letters of suppport did it sway the people and the City Council one bit. The Indian Hills was in the best shape it had ever been after going over  some improvements not long before they tore it down. Promises were made to recover the movie projector and other things prior to demolition and that turned out to be a lie.

I was going over this this morning and I want to know how posting a video documentary of something that took place in Omaha years ago has anything to do with the problems facing the city of Bellevue today?  It's interesting that OmahaSteve has spent more time involved in things going on in Omaha but has little to say about Bellevue except that he's a big fan of some High school girls basketball team.

MySpace... the bedrock of every solid political campaign.

Could be because he wants to tear down the Police building and one other, I forget what it is, and move them somewhere else in order to open it up for enticing new business.

Don't know if they're historical, but most towns in the Midwest that have been around awhile, have beautiful old architecture!

He's either makin' the case to tear them down, or he's the biggest ****in' hypocrite in the state Of Nebraska!!

Bellevue's the second or third oldest town in Nebraska, but was a backwater until the 1950s when Offutt Air Force Base was put there.  Much of the "old stuff" is circa 50-60 years old.  There may be some antique buildings around from the 1880s or something, I dunno.  I've been through Bellevue many times, but it seemed to me it's mostly just plain middle-class or military.

Nebraska as a whole is a pretty new place; there's only about half a dozen structures dating from before 1870 in the entire state (Brownsville, Nebraska City, maybe Bellevue).  The oldest house still standing in Lincoln, the capital, for example, is from 1874.....after which there's a wide gap to the second-oldest house in that city.

When I was a little lad and we moved from the Platte River to the Sandhills, the oldest building in that town had been put up in "MCMXI," and I thought it was as old as the Pyramids or the Roman Coliseum or Stonehenge, or something.

Bellevue itself was an outpost for French fur-traders from Quebec, and for centuries, a half-dozen or so Frenchmen were the only European-derived inhabitants of Nebraska.  French fur-traders were in Nebraska longer than normal white men have been here.

It can't be because the building they are using right now was built within the past 20-25 years. Hardly a reason to tear it down.

Hmmm, funny you should put it that way fransolich. I'm getting quite the education on quaint old French-Canadien quisine whilst whiling away in the frigid moose country. Apparently it is all deep fried.
The French. One of the few things I like about them is they were nice enough to plant trees along their roads so the German could march in the shade.

Yes.

Next question?

[GOBUCKS]

Thank goodness for Steve Dawes, committed lifelong supporter of Socialism.

His pie shop of a political campaign is the only thing the DUmp has going for it right now.

It is sooooo boring. Nothing but sluts, pills, and harmless spitballs tossed at Rush.

Where is nutcase nadin? She should be providing us with at least three of her comical, arrogant threads every day.

Where is Sara Imaboobi? Here it is March. She should have been used and discarded by at least three "boyfriends" since the first of the year.

Where is Horse with no Brain? We need to catch up with her slutty daughter, and her move from her dusty, crappy Texas trailer park.

DUmmy taverner's imagination has failed him as his heroin habit spirals out of control. He's boring.

The catbox squatter, DUmmy Husb2Spunkly, has been in contention for most boring, unoriginal, unimaginative DUmmy for years. He's useless.

Poor, stupid Beth could be a contender, but she's just piping up with a few random "lol" comments. Nothing of worth from her.

So we're left with Steve Dawes, the only lifelong Socialist in Bellevue, Nebraska, and poor, addled grasswire Judy Smith. That's a weak team.

I figured as much, Coach. I was born and raised for a while in Council Grove. Kansas. Did a little farmin', before movin' to the big city 'o Denver!

The courthouse, bank, and pretty much most of main street are in the historical register for the start of the Santa Fe trail.

There's the first Tradin' Post, a hermit's cave, a spot where Custer, on the way to his demise camped, and other points of Americana. Hell, you can walk down the dirt and gravel roads and pick up arrowheads and dinosaur fossils!!

Sounds to me like this guy is tryin' to erase their local heritage. Some of those buildings are absolutely gorgeous if they are as old as the ones in my home town! Sounds like they gotta be damn near as old!

I can't imagine anyone wanting to tear them down!!! Yet this guy thinks if they tear 'em down, move the police station closer to, I guess he said downtown or some such shit, it will entice new business! Wonder how the old timers in Bellevue feel about that? They're the ones who vote consistently.
