[edit] Length of operation

The opening sentence of the "About" section states: "According to the City of Omaha, the Livestock Exchange Building was the largest and most visually prominent building constructed in South Omaha and operated for more than 100 years." I'm not sure what meant to be said there, but it makes it sound like the building itself has been in operation for 100 years, which would be impossible, being that the rest of the article claims that the building was built in 1926. I'm not a math teacher, but it would seem to me that the building has only been in existence for 82 years. I'm guessing what the article is trying to say is that the Omaha Stockyards themselves were in operation for more than 100 years?Harry Yelreh (talk) 00:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's right Harry. A cool part of Wikipedia is that if you find something like that you can just change it! Happy editing. • Freechild'sup? 17:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
