South Omaha Main Street is now South 24th. South Omaha was annexed into Omaha in 1915. The city was founded in 1884 and grew rapidly in suport of the meat packing industry. The street has its own charm today but is different than what it was in the heyday of the meat packing industry and Stockyards, which were to the west of Main Street. Today it has many Latin markets and Mexican restaurants. It boasts a tree of life, and many other artistic additions. This includes many murals about the local culture. The post office is a building which high lighted the past as well as the present.
A quick trip to the Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge which goes from Kiewit Luminarium to the CHI Center. We also went to the Discovery Playground where the kids had fun. Charity took the pictures.
This mural is at the parking area off 25th and N. It in on two sides of the building, north and east facing walls. It depicts the past, religious worship, advancement through education, music and eating. There are also buildings--school, working in the meat industry.
