After so much hard work from so many people, the flower baskets have made it onto the streets of Dundee! They look WONDERFUL!
BIG THANKS to all the guys that spent the entire day hanging them throughout the neighborhood. If you feel inclined to give them a shoulder and arm massage, please do! They could use it.
Here's a photo of one of the MANY truckloads of flower baskets, and Dan hanging up the first flower basket in the Dundee Business District. (Thanks Dan!)
The Dodge Street Subway Project is moving right along! We have the final drawings from Leo A. Daly. You can check them out below.

These individuals would assist in raising money, monitoring landscaping, meeting regularly with "Friends of the Library", and other vital tasks for the Sorensen Library. If you'd like to volunteer, please fill out our volunteer form here.
The Dodge Street Bridge will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2018. The bridge carries school children as well as joggers and their furry friends from Memorial Park to Elmwood Park. It literally unites two of Omaha's best parks. Here's a link to an OWH article about the Dodge Street Bridge's need for a "face lift".
