EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UPDATE: In a classic twist of dramatic irony, mere hours after publishing this article the Republic tower project showed its first city permit activity in roughly two years -- if we didn't know better, we'd think it had something to do with us pestering the folks at Lincoln for this story all week. This new permit doesn't contain much beyond a description of the Republic project as now containing "office, retail and museum" uses, and that last one is news to us. The last time anyone mentioned a museum at this . . .
