    Flying at Fort Omaha

    More than one hundred years ago, North Omaha was the hotbed of technological warfare. For the first time, the U.S. Army was suddenly capable of flying thousands of feet in the air for hours at a time. Soldiers and officers came from across America to learn how to fly at 30th and Fort. This is a history of the Fort Omaha Balloon School.

    North Omaha Department Stores

    Clothes, cosmetics, furniture, hardware, appliances, houseware, sporting goods, and toys all under one roof? Today, there is one discount department store in the community, but throughout the decades there were at least a dozen department stores north of Dodge Street and east of 72nd. We’re going to explore the history of department stores on N. 24th St., Military Ave in Benson, and other places. This is a history of North Omaha’s department stores.

    The Far Corners of Florence

    Beyond its past religious roots and Wild West stopover vibes, Florence has stories that are rarely told. Today, Adam’s going to share some of these tales, including stories about the last wolf in Florence, an old village that barely existed and has mostly faded away, and a round house that captured imaginations for a generation.

    The 63 Year City Florence Neb

    With roots starting in 1812 extending all the way to today, the Florence neighborhood is rich with history longer, stronger and at times, more interesting than Omaha. One of those is the reality that it was an independent city for 63 years! Today, Adam’s going to share the story of the City of Florence including the events, people, and places that made it a competitor to Omaha for a while.

    Railroads Rolling in North Omaha

    Over the last 150 years, railroad tracks, trestles, bridges, roundhouses, switching yards, maintenance shops and more left big marks throughout North Omaha. However, today, there’s barely anything left from five different railroad companies, a dozen depots, eleven bridges and trestles, two roundhouses and much, much more railroad infrastructure in the community. This episode is a lowdown of the history of railroads in North Omaha.

    The All-Around Poisoning of North Omaha

    Huge corporations, locally-owned shops and politicians in Omaha worked together for more than a century to employ a lot of people by poisoning people along the way. Since 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency has been working to help the community as part of a citywide environmental cleanup. However, no single person has been paid any money and North Omaha is still suffering. This episode is a history of lead poisoning in North Omaha.
