We'd like to say "THANK YOU!" to Elias W. for refining DMPA's Walking Tour Map. Elias completed the project as a part of his high school Senior Project. He refined the old PDF by taking new, higher resolution photographs; by researching the sights in the Dundee Pictorial History book, he added/removed information to make the descriptions as accurate as possible; and removing outdated stops and adding new ones, such as the Dodge Street Subway.
He also created a Google Maps version. He states, "When you look over the Google Maps version, the description is in the upper left-hand corner (click downward arrow next to text to see full explanation). Simply click on the red numbers to see the pictures and information pop-up on the map. You are able to zoom in and out in the bottom right-hand corner and can toggle between a generic map and satellite images by clicking "satellite" in the bottom left."
His goal was to provide the community with a tool that would promote exercise and historical knowledge of our wonderful neighborhood. Job well done!
Here is the Walking Tour PDF and link to Google Maps.
DMPA is advocating for Farnam Street to be a two way street at ALL TIMES. Safety is our priority, and we believe the way it is set up now is confusing and dangerous.
Please sign the petition here if you agree.
THANK YOU!

See you next month neighbor!
Have you driven down Underwood Ave and noticed that the Old Grandpa's store is gone? It happened overnight, didn't it? Well there are excited things happening. Here the details:
In Dundee development news, Grandpa’s Convenience Mart at 5018 Underwood will be razed and replaced with a three-story mixed use building. Construction is scheduled to begin this June which sets the project’s completion for late spring of 2016. During construction the sidewalk near the site will be closed and some parking stalls will be temporarily unavailable, but become usable again before the building is done. Compared to the building it replaces, the new mixed-use building will be taller and sit closer to the street. The façade materials will include red brick to match the historic Dundee aesthetic. The first floor retail space will be equipped to house two restaurants, the second floor will be a pediatric clinic, and the third will contain six apartments. Omaha Public Works is involved in part of the project that involves partial replacement of the adjacent alley. The owner is Red Brick, LLC, the architect is Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, and the contractor is Boyd Jones Construction.
