St. Columban Catholic Missionary Society in Bellevue

On a hill in Bellevue is the St. Columban Missionary Society which was started in Bellevue in 1918.  You get there by taking Calhoun Street north of Mission.  Basically you go up the hill.  The map indicates St. Columbans is not actually a part of Bellevue, but is surrounded by Bellevue.  This includes Freeman Park.

South 13th Street Mural: South Omaha Mural Project

 This project is not actually in South Omaha but is in Omaha on south 13th street.  It is actually older than most of the murals in the mural project.  It is at the corner with Williams, but cannot be seen from 13th because it is on the back side of the building.  The mural represents past pictures of the 13th street area as well as hopes for the future.  For more information on the mural visit the South Omaha Mural Project.
