City Walks - Omaha Nebraska Virtual Treadmill Travel Tour - Virtual Walking Tour and Workout
Mar 17, 2025
Wow! Omaha NE kind of blew my mind. I did not expect much from the largest city in NE and second largest city in the Great Plains. I start this walk down at the old Market area which was super cool. It reminded me of some of the old Paris markets. We also get to see a really fascinating multi-block sculpture park: First National's Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness and Pioneer Courage Park. his sculpture park is the largest installation of bronze and stainless steel work of art in the United States and one of the two or three largest in the world.

hello walkers and welcome to city walks where we uh
0:07

0:14
get distracted by all sorts of various things like these awesome old buildings here
0:20
uh my name is henry i will be your proxy walker today your virtual travel guide
0:26
as we walk around and explore the surprisingly large city of
0:34
omaha nebraska i don't really know where to start because i don't know a lot about omaha
0:42
certainly uh a lot of things going back like mutual of omaha um
0:48
but i was i'm surprised and struck by the sheer size of it uh it's really
0:54
a big city uh if you like these videos please subscribe we release try to release two
1:00
a week um and give us a like but mainly give us a comment uh i love interacting with
1:07
viewers and hearing your views and your thoughts corrections additional information i
1:14
guess i could call that additions and that sort of thing especially on a place
1:20
like today where i really don't know much about it we're on a road trip back east
1:26
and we're stopping at all these cities and it's impossible for me to really do
1:33
comprehensive research on all of them um so i'm just doing the best i can
1:40
today is a monday it's about 11 15 and 51 degrees fahrenheit 11 degrees
1:48
celsius the end of november and just a beautiful day market spaghetti works
1:55
i love these old bui these old buildings i'm sure that this is there's a name for this
2:02
area but uh uh sorry there's a homeless person um
2:10
talking to him themselves or somebody else and so we're just gonna wander around
2:16
i love these old verandas here uh it's like i think it was named the fifth
2:22
coldest city in america uh may hope i assume that's um
2:29
the continental or the contiguous uh 48. we're gonna wander about here this must
2:36
be old markets or something i love it i haven't really seen this in other places so it's kind of cool i also liked
2:44
this old uh ironworks here um if you're new here this is kind of what i do i kind of
2:50
uh explore discover and ramble i mentioned that i'm easily distracted by things so i'll stop mid-sentence and
2:58
uh change tack and hopefully i'll come back these are super cool i love these things
3:05
um and this is kind of why i like doing this channel too
3:12
there's a lot of reasons but this discovering these cool parts of cities that
3:18
uh i wouldn't have known or found or even looked for
3:24
if i wasn't out doing these walks so i hope you enjoy the ride
3:30
as we there's somebody working on this building um as we just explore and discover so
3:38
in fact i'm probably gonna go back this way um this is obviously an older part of the city and
3:46
either in this walk or another walk i haven't decided if i'm gonna do two yet um we'll get over into a newer section
3:51
and then there's sort of a uh look at all these galleries here then they're across 480 or 488
4:00
there's like the mutual omaha building and um that sort of thing sort of a
4:07
not modern but newer uh sort of maybe in between time this i love it
4:15
it's got kind of a dank smell to it too sort of urban sewer um so i didn't tell
4:22
you where we are we are on 11th and howard right now i think we started up
4:28
and howard uh i installed my oh gosh i just
4:33
i love this i gotta take some pictures sorry um
4:40
such a cool surprise to find this stuff that building down there
4:48
awesome um and i love all this brick work so this
4:54
is all sort of cobblestone um brickwork streets and it kind of just
5:00
reminds me of so many places
5:08
like in europe almost you know like maybe london or something in those old
5:14
british cities yeah very cool barber shops
5:21
pubs restaurants but i bet it's super fun to be down here on
5:29
a friday and saturday night they're growing something here maybe
5:34
hops or surprised the leaves are still on them
5:40
i don't know surely that's hops
5:45
but i don't really know it doesn't matter all right
5:55
and i'm just gonna wander down here along howard uh and explore and see what we can find
6:00
somewhere down here there's a durham museum which i've been told is really cool
6:07
let me blow you away with my limited knowledge of omaha nebraska founded in about 1854
6:15
i think and obviously they one of their things
6:21
their nicknames they've given themselves is gateway to the west obviously not unique there
6:28
the big o which let's walk down here this park um this is jackson and eleventh we're
6:34
gonna go down jackson um lewis and clark came here through here
6:39
on their way west i think it was on their way west um and
6:45
it's a population of 000 people which i wouldn't have thought would be
6:52
seemed so much bigger than places like sioux city and sioux falls
6:58
who also have they have i think sioux falls sioux city has
7:03
86 i think sioux falls has more i can't quite remember um but this seems exponentially bigger
7:12
for whatever reason oh that's a cool place
7:18
i'm gonna pull out my in such a beautiful day too oh my gosh
7:24
uh i guess this is the mbc suites hilton that we're
7:29
coming up here i don't really care about that right now
7:34
although well placed for a hotel right on the edge of this
7:40
hip cool area this is 10th street so i must have been on 12th and dodge earlier
7:47
uh let me see if i can find
7:52
cancel that the durham museum
7:59
your museum's that way so let's cross and i'll try to
8:07
get us away from the sun it's all right it said 32 seconds to cross and then it
8:14
just turned red i'll have to review the footage um we'll go back up here
8:20
and uh yeah i'd hate to be a statistic of
8:27
one of those people that was looking at their phone even though i'm not looking at my phone well i guess i was
8:33
anyway forgive and forget okay so uh
8:39
industries are finance and was meat processing
8:44
um i used to have a big stock yards here i'm not sure if it still does transportation
8:52
what a major employers or major fortune 500 companies include
8:58
mutual of omaha and um uh what is warren buffett's company
9:04
berkshire hathaway is here uh warren buffett of course is famous for investing
9:10
i think it's his strategy is called value-added investing let's go down
9:18
11th again um having a problem
9:24
there we go getting this point where i wanted to point
9:30
and he's worth you know billions and he still stays fairly humble
9:37
it's a pretty cool building to venice building we're getting down into some
9:44
um
9:50
apartments looks like the thunder head or thunder head brewing that one
9:57
i'm gonna go down here interesting
10:14
that would be a cool place to live i would think one you're above a brewery
10:20
two you're in this area and you've got this old sort of factory warehouse vibe going on
10:31
somewhere down here is the durham museum all right so the the river the missouri
10:37
river is off to our left i can come down here and drink a beer
10:42
too sure [Music]
10:49
somewhere up here on the right is supposedly the durham museum so we'll go check that out and then we'll venture
10:55
back into the more interesting stuff i just want to spin you around like a record baby
11:02
uh that cool building i i tend to gravitate towards
11:09
these sort of 19th century buildings uh early 20th
11:16
but there's a lot of new stuff too on the as we go north we're heading south now
11:21
uh that there it is is that boulder okay
11:37
shouldn't have crossed the street
11:43
sorry i know i'm a little more distracted than normal
11:58
this is an old art deco train station must be further down
12:05
this plays on uh featuring displays on omaha's history as well as other traveling things traveling
12:13
displays
12:27
okay it's up there i'm not going to go up there because it's a ways to go uh
12:34
and uh we saw it from the road i thought it was apartment complexes
12:39
but apparently it's a museum maybe they're joined at the hip or something
12:48
i'm sort of overwhelmed by how cool this place is
12:54
how big it is it's uh when driving in there's all
13:00
sorts of construction going on road destruction but also excuse me building construction
13:06
and that sort of thing which is really really interesting
13:12
to me it shows that the economic vibrancy is happening here is i know this is a city not a small town
13:18
but a lot of small towns in
13:23
what they refer to as the heartland are fading they're losing population they're losing
13:30
economic vitality globalization and
13:36
centralization of uh industries
13:43
is uh affecting them greatly and
13:49
you know there's an ebb and flow to these things i guess and
13:57
they may not be the ideal solution to compete
14:03
in the modern world small towns but it doesn't mean we can't be
14:09
nostalgic been a center it's like an art kind of thing we're
14:16
gonna head back north and get back into these older buildings
14:22
on 12th we were on leavenworth but we're going to go north on 12th a little bit
14:29
and then i guess we'll go maybe back west a little bit
14:36
and uh get into the well we'll just see what we're gonna do
14:42
i don't know i might see something that is super cool
14:48
or that i moderately cool that i just wanted to go check out
15:05
beautiful day today yes glorious
15:15
there's something about the pace of walking as well that
15:24
enables a more keen observation and allows us to notice more things
15:31
certainly that's true in a natural landscape um we i've done a lot of work for american
15:38
prairie reserve and i spoke about this before but um the uh
15:43
the the sagebrush step up there gives the impression
15:49
or can give the impression of being devoid of life of being very bland
15:56
but but once you
16:01
dig into it you see all this diversity of life and
16:06
plant and insects and reptiles and small mammals and all that sort of thing
16:12
this is a really cool situation over here um a cool building
16:19
you know
16:31
you've got a modern building up here
16:52
i want to cross but i have to go up here to cross
16:58
kind of old area brickwork
17:04
getting warm in the sun
17:19
we're on 13th we were on jones sorry headed up towards jackson
17:27
this is a little less interesting to me hopefully we'll get back into
17:34
some of that cool old stuff um
17:39
driving in was pretty amazing driving through all these massive
17:45
buildings and really cool high school and museum
17:50
hopefully we'll make it over there you can see that uh local price of gas
17:57
is three dollars and twenty cents
18:07
it's the hyatt place over here
18:22
western view of jackson is
18:31
okay head back this way
18:38
i like this old section i want to make sure we explore it fairly well
18:45
and uh see what it has to offer
18:53
oh hollywood candy apparently that's pretty fun the barista at the coffee shop was saying that
18:59
it's pretty fun place to go hang out not hang out but walk through see what they have on offer
19:14
when i see a giant chicken some old brick and little brick stuff up here
19:22
i started to talk about how much i like the old and how much i gravitate to these older buildings
19:28
but one of the things i'm kind of looking forward to today is getting over into the modern stuff too
19:36
oh yeah look at this place i don't know if i can do it justice if you'll be able to see
19:42
it but it's a whole massive building there
19:48
we're gonna keep going this way
19:56
just going to give us a peek over here and then we're going to head back north not quite as far north as i thought we
20:03
would or this is kind of a neat little ice cream parlor
20:08
you might have ted and wally's i think an old gas station that's a great idea
20:26
they've utilized a lot of these old buildings instead of just tearing them down which is great
20:32
and in a few places it looks like they may have rebuilt but they've rebuilt in
20:39
a way that is a little bit of a modern twist on the old vision you've got
20:46
metal work and brick uh over there which is pretty
20:51
interesting oh yeah here we are we're back at
20:57
dodge 12th where we started but we're gonna keep going don't worry we're gonna
21:03
dog leg left a cool little area
21:10
uh reminds me a little bit of downtown seattle
21:15
but i haven't really spent a whole lot of time so if you disagree with me on that
21:20
be gentle i'm happy to hear the opposing
21:26
viewpoints
21:33
plank seafood provisions here
21:44
i have to give kudos to communities that maintain these older buildings
21:49
it would be easy and certainly in other places they've been let
21:54
left to rot and crumble
22:00
but they they give so much character to me anyway and
22:05
distinctiveness to a place it makes it much like having trees make it more more
22:12
organic almost the monster club pumping grub
22:19
the old market the old market she was mentioning that as well place for maybe for uh artwork
22:27
or something no i thought she called it the hops we'll see if we can find that
22:34
you can see where you've gotten some modern buildings that's a bank building the top one over
22:41
there right across over here
22:47
um and they do a apparently a race a stair climb race every year
22:52
which sounds excruciating i love this old building as i try to get
22:58
away from that copyrighted music very cool
23:05
try not to get run over
23:12
more music which doesn't surprise me in front of a cigs and vaporizer store
23:18
which is fine i think youtube has gotten a lot better
23:24
about recognizing the difference between copyrighted
23:30
uh music that you're trying to use and copyrighted music that's being blasted
23:35
out into the public space and you're not trying to use but is rather
23:40
having is rather getting imposed on you
23:50
like these old um old advertisements on the side of
23:55
buildings getting that reflection
24:14
now i think i'm gonna keep going north
24:19
but this is this trick this is but i'm going to cross it
24:28
this is still dodge 13th street
24:33
and harney we'll make our way up there eventually either on this walk or another
24:40
but i think i want to keep going north of ways it's pretty cool they've got these bike
24:46
lanes here uh separated off from the traffic
24:51
which uh is great if you're on a bike or an e-bike or
24:58
one of the many uh scooters that are around
25:06
a modern building up there
25:12
and then you can look back and see some of the older buildings still
25:17
this is 1200 landmark center
25:34
[Music]
25:42
this building on our left here is the nebraska state office building
25:48
i'm always a little worried when a car rushes up
25:53
and stops suddenly there's a massive building up ahead that
25:59
looks quite like a museum uh let's see if i can find where we are
26:06
oh look at this park it's all under construction
26:22
well the omaha world herald is off to the left oh my gosh look at this guys
26:31
wow
26:37
but we we my friends this is farnam that we're crossing
26:42
i'm trying to get hit uh and i don't know what park this is but it looks like it's going to be
26:49
magnificent the stage at one end
26:54
i want to find out what this building up here is it says holland which i assume is a name got some
27:02
construction going on here
27:08
oh we'll get up there don't worry
27:19
i think what i'm going to do is come up here to douglas make a right see if i can find out what this
27:24
modern building is up here which i kind of like it's got this um [Music]
27:31
wall of windows facing south [Music]
27:40
which i like and then just the shape of it makes me think it's built that way in
27:46
order to get uh collect solar heat
27:52
oh it's a good forward sir
27:58
performing arts center holland performing arts center 13th in douglas i'm going to let you
28:03
look up douglas uh to the west
28:09
see just the the weight of these cities i've talked about
28:18
the weight or mass of cities sort of this uh
28:26
i don't know this feeling you get from like i really first noticed it in st
28:31
petersburg it just had this just oh massive feel to it even though it wasn't tall
28:39
it was like stone and just thick it's really amazing place
28:45
uh we got to spend a couple days there unfortunately i deleted one of the walks
28:51
that i did there but i got to
28:57
film a couple others so check those out if you haven't
29:11
really impressed with that park it's gonna be awesome
29:17
i'm also impressed with this performing arts center also looks awesome
29:25
it's going to have a great view of that park too
29:30
oh i saw a building back there and reminded me that another one of the fortune 500 companies here
29:36
in omaha is the union pacific railroad company it's union pacific i don't know if it's
29:42
called railroad company or whatever but i can't imagine they just do railroads um
29:49
i thought it could be wrong
29:57
uh another thing i didn't mention is yes the population here is 400
30:03
forget what i said 90 something thousand across the river is council bluffs iowa
30:10
and together the metro area consists of i think
30:16
either just under just over a million people so it is a major
30:21
population center for the midwest and certainly for
30:28
the prairie states
30:45
some neat old buildings up here on the left see what they're all about
30:53
i've uh shifted away from for the day at least
30:58
60 frames a second look at this kind of ornate front
31:04
i love that um to 24 it's a more cinematic look
31:10
it's a museum of shadows haunted artifacts and oddities um
31:18
i just kind of want to see the difference some sort of experimenting so let me know what you think what your
31:23
preference is um so let me see
31:30
rapid city no i'm sorry yeah rapid city sioux falls
31:38
and another one or two
31:43
or at 60 frames a second and uh today's walks are at 24.
31:51
this is 11th street and we're gonna
31:58
keep on exploring down here headed towards temp oh
32:04
sorry earlier when we first started i talked about it being very market-like must have been an old market and there
32:09
we go sign pointing over there saying old market
32:18
this is pinnacle bank here another
32:23
pretty cool building go out into the street without getting hit
32:30
i just love seeing the uniqueness of all these buildings compared to um
32:37
you know these big glass and steel structures which can be beautiful in their own way
32:44
but as i i heard a long time ago on some npr
32:49
show well here's a courtyard marriott another great place to be staying great location
32:55
new way
33:00
that modern buildings or at least for a long time were designed to look good from the
33:07
highway as people drove past or through the city whereas older buildings
33:13
were meant to have that street level beauty
33:20
turning around here too just the painted brickwork there is kind of cool the old
33:27
advertisements and stuff um and as we
33:32
[Music] excuse me as we move away from internal combustion
33:38
engines which i'm going to get back to the miracle of that in a minute
33:44
uh you know as we become more
33:49
hopefully more pedestrian centric more bicycle-centric
33:58
i hope we will not we but designers will start to design again for that street level
34:04
slower paced experience for appreciating
34:11
the beauty of that um
34:16
oh yeah the internal combustion engine and the miracle thereof
34:23
this is how you come off of the interstate um
34:28
you know we're driving this is what is this dodge street
34:34
another dodge um we are driving we've gone over 1100 miles so far in the
34:41
last few days and often at 80 plus miles an hour
34:48
for eight hours at a time in past we've done way more than that
34:54
excuse me at something like 2 000 to 4 000 rpms depending on how
35:01
hard the engine is working excuse me
35:07
um and it just keeps going for hundreds of
35:13
thousands of miles we've got 85 000 miles on our car
35:19
the the miracle of that the ability to design it to manufacture
35:26
it to design the materials is just uh amazes me
35:36
anyway just thought i'd say that i mean that's not even talking
35:42
about the carbon footprint and all that stuff but just the amazing
35:48
abilities of the human mind so up ahead is the chi health center omaha
35:54
which i thought was a sports complex then when i saw the name i thought it was a hospital which is a
36:00
strange design excuse me i'm having a little fog in my throat
36:06
and now it looks like it i saw a sign that says arena so maybe i was right to begin with we're
36:11
going to go up capitol avenue
36:27
you can see you know we saw the couple buildings we saw that park we see a building going up here
36:33
uh just a lot going on here in
36:39
it's omaha looks like they've got a bike sharing program
36:54
oh
37:00
sidewalk is closed didn't predict that well
37:13
this just goes on and on and on and on i love it oh i'm going to go left up here
37:21
i was hoping i could stay in the shadows
37:27
back to dodge
37:43
looks like it's going to be a performing on com performing arts complex
37:49
[Music] that's cool
38:03
i didn't even notice that stone arch down there they're working on the park all right
38:08
we're gonna make it right on dodge uh for the sole reason
38:14
well i'm not sure i can make a right on that um then i drove in there and i saw some
38:20
cool stuff so
38:29
i'm gonna make do as we can
38:35
all right
38:40
now obviously the city expands out from here and goes further north um
38:47
i'm going to stay in this sort of center of mass
38:53
of the city the lack of a better term
39:19
speaking of the decline of the
39:24
uh or the ascendancy of an electric vehicle which i hope we are seeing
39:32
pardon me gosh it's gonna take me forever to try and edit that out if i have the time
39:40
um the amazing amount of
39:48
electrical the use of electric engines uh is is exploding so just for instance
39:55
they're doing all that lawn maintenance and
40:01
all those engines are great opportunities for electrification in
40:06
fact california's recently started a uh
40:13
or enacted a future ban or phase out of those types of gas-powered engines which
40:19
are typically two-stroke they're loud they have a lot of particular pollution
40:25
and uh you know uh they just they're not efficient so
40:33
not great for the people who use them that's for sure uh who are typically lower income folks
40:41
and you see that there's so many more opportunities
40:46
or more products available that can do that job
40:52
uh efficiently now obviously transitioning your company from
40:57
the tens of thousands of dollars or more that you've invested in your
41:04
older stuff your internal combustion ninjas to a green
41:09
battery-powered system is not free but
41:15
as we make that transition it just makes so much more sense to make the world quieter
41:21
it's gonna make the world cleaner at least the air
41:26
always it's always important to remember that this is the world this is the herald again omaha
41:31
world herald it's always important to remember that
41:37
all those electric vehicles still have to be manufactured still have
41:45
costs environmental and economic
41:51
anyway i get in trouble sometimes i'm not in trouble but i get called out a few every once in a while
41:57
people don't like me putting my politics just a union pacific building um
42:04
in these videos i don't really feel like that's politics that's more technology
42:10
but it's been made a partisan issue over the years
42:18
but i think it's exciting honestly
42:30
coming up on 14th and dodge
42:39
oh that's a cool park over there yes please
42:59
looks like a cross over here
43:08
it's kind of interesting it's like a park but it's also like a vacant lot which is nice they've
43:14
planted grass uh but i have to wonder i wonder what's gonna happen to it if it'll become
43:22
developed into another park or if it will be built upon
43:27
kind of real estate is probably super valuable
43:34
it's kind of an interesting building over here
43:44
maybe another performing arts complex gosh there's a lot going on here in omaha
43:56
and we got a little bit more coming up looks like pioneers i saw a sign for the mormon trail
44:04
uh something or other i don't think it was necessarily this but maybe it was a historical marker or
44:11
something so i'm curious to see if this is a general there a general
44:18
historical thing or if it's mormon specific wow it's big
44:32
all right so it seems to start over here we've got covered wagons
44:38
people on horseback people with muskets and dogs
44:44
we'll just walk along here this is pioneer
44:50
age first national park 2003
44:56
well it's not the first national park maybe it's the first national bank park
45:03
this is really fun man
45:13
how detailed all this is slightly larger than life scale
45:19
i'm six and a half feet tall that guy's about seven
45:41
wow everybody's pretty happy
45:46
mostly
45:52
those guys are trying to get unstuck down there
45:57
and smoke free oh wow it just keeps going and going i
46:03
love this so now we've got uh native peoples
46:09
didn't really talk about how the omaha got its name
46:15
it's i believe named for the people the omaha people who were here
46:20
i don't know anything about them so i'm not going to speak to it but i did read that the term omaha refers to the people of
46:28
the bluff or that's the meaning
46:35
there's bison all along this parking garage
46:43
i uh there's a residence inn above the united states
46:50
building if you're looking for a hotel that's odd um
46:57
ah just unexpected there is a very thick smell of marijuana
47:02
smoke anyway i'm not sure where that's coming from
47:09
oh yeah here we go the other park that i need i only saw this park that we're gonna see here in a minute i didn't see the whole other half of it
47:24
i could definitely see coming and hanging out in omaha man
47:29
this place is awesome look at this this is even cooler so
47:37
we've got uh this bison calf and then this other bison that's sort of
47:42
built into the corner of the building awesome
47:50
all right so we are what is this 16th 15th 14th
47:56
no it's like douglas it's
48:05
all dodge yeah dodge street
48:17
okay
48:28
so and then we
48:34
got this whole other scene over here in this park
48:39
that is going on
48:45
more bison geese spirit of nebraska wilderness
48:54
this is uh i think the first national so that's what it is that's the name of the company
49:02
so that's the first national park maybe they should have made that double tree in over there
49:11
i just i am just loving omaha
49:19
i'm not even sponsored or anything i know these geese and then you got more geese
49:25
over there this is such a cool thing i hope i remember to include this in the description
49:31
uh of the video piece on the corner of that building sort of built into the corner
49:36
there's geese over there and i i don't know where it even stops
49:44
hopefully it doesn't oh wait this is 16th
49:50
and dodge
49:59
there's some more geese wait til i get in the shadow to look up
50:05
this is uh by far the dominant building of the skyline
50:15
awesome so my plan is to continue up dodge hairways and then
50:21
probably take a break and do a second walk
50:27
in a little while but at first bear with me because there's one more thing i want to show you guys up here well one or two
50:34
we'll have to see how the timing plays out
50:44
some parking garages this is the fnbo first national bank of omaha maybe
50:54
yes that is the case
51:04
i think there's a tendency
51:10
of people on the coast i don't want to say elites but
51:15
to discount these midwestern prairie states and their
51:20
cities but man they got it going on you know obviously if you're from new york new
51:26
york is amazing
51:31
historically and artistically financially etc and certainly california cities and
51:38
seattle etc you've got the old cities down south
51:45
um yeah i'm gonna keep going
51:50
here um but i have been really impressed with uh rapid city was really interesting uh
51:58
sioux falls it's beautiful i walked in
52:03
downtown sioux city today this morning and man the buildings
52:09
down there are just incredible they're so beautiful and
52:14
you know a city let me do the quick math on that one sixth the size i think one fifth
52:21
of this but still so much going on downtown
52:28
hotel indigo looks either like a new build or a redo but it looks new
52:35
maybe they've just rehabbed
52:44
it look at that tower
52:51
that thing looks futuristic retro futuristic maybe
53:00
let me see if i can cross over here [Music]
53:06
i want to go up to the top of this hill little church right next to the
53:16
parking garage there with the modern glass editions
53:35
pretty cool this hotel is not even open yet
53:42
looks like it's that section oh this section is open
53:49
maybe there no maybe not again
53:54
more building more construction more renovating a lot going on here
54:03
all right got this funky
54:11
bike union and coffee that's awesome i wonder what that's all
54:18
story is sweet little building there
54:42
looks like maybe it is a fundraising arm or tool for something
54:59
all right so this magnificent palace up here i'm going to tell you about a little
55:05
second here of course i didn't read the street sign there
55:11
must be 19th in dodge coming up on 20.
55:20
this building over here i don't want to give the name away too early um
55:28
looks to me like a palace or a uh
55:34
museum or a government building of some sort and i guess it is but it's a high school
55:41
omaha central high school uh which
55:46
i i have to say it's
55:51
it looks almost like a european military academy or something
55:58
it's kind of neat
56:09
all right and then there's one building beyond that i also want to take a look at before we
56:14
stop but i gotta wait for uh the light
56:20
so we're looking down 20th now towards the south
56:26
and we get to cross
56:41
uh well it looks like a an apartment
56:47
building over there but
56:53
look at that thing i would never have guessed that was a
56:59
high school maybe a post office or a dmv
57:14
oh here we go capitol hill maybe it used to be a capitol building
57:21
second territorial capital 1857 1858
57:27
removed by lincoln in 1868 oh removed to lincoln lincoln nebraska
57:33
of course the math didn't add up there for a second
57:38
i was pretty sure lincoln didn't do anything in 1868
57:45
as he was no longer with us
57:52
but i want to show you this pink building up here that uh
57:58
is still under construction or being renovated or something key whip seems to be a massive uh
58:07
a massive construction company i've seen a lot of their signs around down here
58:22
anyway it's the joslin art museum but look at that it is
58:27
awesome beautiful beautiful hopefully they don't just put a parking lot in here
58:34
um and maybe a little park instead isn't that beautiful you guys
58:42
fantastic i'm loving omaha who knew i guess people from nebraska knew
58:47
uh anyway thanks for joining me uh we will i'm gonna do another walk here in a few minutes for you guys it'll
58:54
be a few days stick around for that one we're gonna go down back downtown and make our way back
58:59
