Omaha-based J Development has spent the past several years developing the brick structure, at 520 Nebraska St., into 71 apart- ments and roughly 12,000 square feet of commercial space. The apartments are called the Bluebird Flats, a name that came from Bluebird Re- cords, a record label that signed Louis Arm- strong. Armstrong played in the building’s fifth-floor ballroom decades ago. Julie Stavneak, a co-owner of J Develop- ment, said Thursday that the building’s in- terior should be done by the end of October, while the exterior work should, hopefully, be finished by the end of this year. Fifteen leases have already been signed and 10 tenants have moved in. The develop- ers have received a certificate of occupancy for floors two, three and four, and are ex- pecting to receive certificates for floors one and five in a few weeks. J Development planted its flag in the old Commerce Building in 2017. The nearly three years of planning and renovations were unusual for a project of its size – 18 to 24 months would be closer to the norm.

  • Remembering Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by Sichan Siv 06/06/2010 Spring 2010 Marks the 35Th Anniversary of the Fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam to Communism
    Human Events Leading Conservative Media since 1944 Remembering Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by Sichan Siv 06/06/2010 Spring 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam to communism. In a recent speech at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor, Mich., to commemorate the sad anniversary, I mentioned a pivotal date: April 10, 1975. While in Cambodia, I listened to President Ford’s address to the joint session of Congress through the Voice of America. My heart sank when I heard him say: “The situation in South Vietnam and Cambodia has reached a critical phase requiring immediate and positive decisions by this government. The options before us are few and the time is very short.” I quoted this in my memoir Golden Bones (HarperCollins, 2008). In his recently published book An American Amnesia (Beaufort Press, 2010), Bruce Herschensohn speaks to this date more extensively, including President Ford’s request for “Congress to appropriate without delay $722 million for emergency military assistance and an initial sum of $250 million for economic and humanitarian aid for South Vietnam.” Herschensohn concludes his quotes with the following paragraphs from Ford’s speech: “In Cambodia, the situation is tragic. And yet, for the past three months, the beleaguered people of Phnom Penh have fought on, hoping against hope that the United States would not desert them, but instead provide the arms and ammunition they so badly needed. In January, I requested food and ammunition for the brave Cambodians, and I regret to say that as of this evening, it may soon be too late… Let no potential adversary believe that our difficulties or our debates mean a slackening of our national will.
