I loved both of your Omaha videos, you really captured the charm of my hometown. I used to live in our modest Flatiron building and walked to work everyday up those stairs you went by at 9:00, that was a fun memory. If you ever get back to Omaha I think you would enjoy walking through Midtown Crossing to Mutual of Omaha's headquarters then through Blackstone. Other fun walks would be Creighton University then North Downtown and also going through the all the 90 acres of parks that are under construction then over the Missouri River to Iowa on the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge. Glad you enjoyed my hometown.
Oh very cool. I assumed that was offices. Must have been very interesting place to live and so close to all the doings downtown. Thanks so much for those suggestions too. -H
Hi, Henry 👋 !! Thanks for this great walk in Omaha, I enjoyed your tour and information along the way ℹ️ 😊. Wishing you a Happy New Year 🥳 🥂. Cheers, Don 🙋♂️
@@CityWalks You definitely should return. North Downtown has a lot to offer and has great architectural history. Just keep walking north along 10th St next time.
Hey! Thanks for the video, I really liked it! I'd love to see more videos from Livingston, please! I would like to see a walk along the snow-covered streets decorated for Christmas and New Year.
Thanks. Interesting, I think of midwestern cities as having a lot of sprawl, and maybe Omaha does, but the downtown was fun. Thanks for watching and commenting. -H
Thank you for this video. My son is moving to Nebraska next month and trying to decide whether to live in downtown or further south, nearer his work place. You walked by a number of apartments he’s considering
Thank you Henry. I drove through Omaha back in the 90s, but I have no memory of it. I enjoyed your attention to the architecture in this walk, especially some of the smaller details. Midwest cities are much less congested than the New England cities I'm used to which I guess can be good and bad. I did comment on the previous Omaha walk, but I included a link to a magazine article, so I think RU-vid assumed is spam. Happy holidays!
Thanks so much Tom. Yes, I keep discovering old comments that RU-vid has screened out and then revealed weeks later. It’s a bit frustrating. Feel free to share the link on Patreon though. I’d be interested to see it. All the best. - H
If you're in the area again you might enjoy walking parts of Grand Island. Downtown has interesting buildings such as the courthouse and Carnegie Library. The 3rd and 4th Street business areas have a lot of neat international shops and restaurants. The Stuhr Museum has an iconic Edward Stone building and a railroad town full of historic buildings.
I was stationed just south of Omaha, 3 times between `78-`86. It nice to see how much/little it has changed since `86. When I was first stationed there I ate at "The Spaghetti Works" all the time. I was a poor young enlisted man at the time. TSW was CHEAP and a good time.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing those memories. I love comments like this. Must have been an interesting place back then. Thanks for your service and Happy New Year! -H
@@CityWalks Yeah, saw it was -5 there today. I saw you were doing your walk in Omaha in Nov. If I remember correctly I always HATED Nov there, cold and rainy. Just short of snow.
