Why have sign ordinances?

You really like that one infill.

I saw that one on househunters or something hahahaha.

I definitively think it is still better than the movie. Man that is a disturbing movie!

Yeah, that's some cute infill. The adjacent parking lot and out-of-scale billboard is a jarring contrast, though. I like that colorful buffalo too and the coffee shop next to it looks inviting. I think part of the underwhelmed undercurrent from ink on this Great Plains tour, which I'm enjoying and hope to see more of, is that in this region downtown *is* the city: no cool urban neighborhoods to stumble into elsewhere. Once you leave there you're nowhere. It's Stripmallville from here on out. End of the traffic-calmed road. Whether it's ND or NE you're lucky if you have an urban neighborhood that isn't downtown proper (Benson in Omaha would be such an exception). I think that plays a role in how top-notch the streetscaping and prioritization of pedestrians is on these main streets:it's the only functional urban place they've got. The pro-urban movement hasn't yet moved beyond the confines of downtown around these parts.

If anything, traffic looks a little too calm.

nice to see (in the 2nd to last shot) that they are rehabbing what they have of aesthetic value.
