I live just down the street from 48th and Pioneers, so I'm intrigued to hear that the nearby Kabredlo's is starting over with a new facility. I didn't think the old one was that bad, especially compared to the ones right at 48th and Pioneers, and 48th and Calvert, along with the former Sinclaire station in between. But I certainly won't complain.
I have long been surprised that College View doesn't get more love from developers. There is a lot of potential in that little stretch of Lincoln, particularly with Union College right there. Maybe I just need to be patient. After all, the past few years have brought The Mill, Five Willows and Paul's, and now this new Kabredlo's. I think the area could support one more sit-down restaurant (a bar and grill, perhaps?), along with some newer apartment/condo options.
Do any of you know if there is some sort of College View business or neighborhood association promoting the area?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Are bars allowed in the College View area?
I don’t see why not. Do colleges kick in some sort of anti-alcohol zoning restriction? (I thought that was just K-12 schools.) I suppose the SDA church might bring with it an alcohol-free buffer.
Hmm, I don’t know.
I live in the neighborhood and like it. I do think that a sit-down restaurant would be nice. Sorry, Davinci’s and Taco John’s don’t count. It is a neat little area and it would be nice to see more business that attract people like the Mill does. Often times they are the only place open in the evenings and a restaurant in there would be a great addition.
I believe that there were (still are??) a lot of roadblocks that the SDA church/community puts into play for the businesses that want to serve alcohol. Lots of the land in that immediate college area is actually owned by the college or some subsidiary—at least it used to be.
That sucks. That’s my gas station. I turn off of Prescott
and Poof! there it is on my way to work.
yikes.
Thanks for the heads up!

I know you can’t get a liquor license withing 150’ of UNL, not sure if it applies to College View. I’m guessing Union College does everything they can to keep booze out of there.
Whatever they do is great. I used to be a college student, and I used to live within a block or two of Hastings College and 10 blocks from UNL. Union is the quietest campus ive ever lived around-other than the few college kids the live around me in their rentals, and their mass exodus across Prescott on Saturdays, Wednesdays, and other functionary days from the campus to the chapel, I hardly hear from them. Its really nice.
Did you know most of their campus is open to the public in some fashion or another-the gym, pool, cafeteria, etc?
