Newspaper publisher
👍👍 This newspaper has been around for many many years. The original owner was a wonderful woman. I did a lot of business with her in the 60s and 70s. I will never forget her kindness and the efficient way she ran that paper. This is a great asset to Omaha.

👍👍 The Jungle Biome was stunning. It feels so spacious inside even with the incredible amount of foliage surrounding you!. There are birds and bats that are just open air fliers.

Miller's Landing
Park
👍👍 What a great park! Close to Midtown/Downtown and apparently not very well known as it’s always empty. There are a few Hobos, so if you’re hiking along the river keep an eye out for tarps & tents. Great for dogs.

👍 While there isn't a lot of stuff here, this is one of the nicer parks I've been to in this area. It's in a very affluent neighborhood. There are only a few things for kids to do, but it has enough for a small family or two. The park itself is very well groomed and well taken care of. I didn't note a...
