Vinton Street Neighborhood
I heard Vinton road had an historical shopping area, but honestly, I don't think I found it. Vinton was the southern edge of Sheelytown. Among other landmarks in this neighborhood is the old Vinton School. Built in 1908 and closed in 1987. It has been converted in apartments.

Andersen Park is mostly a baseball park in Millard. It has six ball diamonds, a covered shelter and a playground. It is named for Harry Andersen, former mayor of Millard. Millard has since be annexed into Omaha. It is along the Papillion Creek.
Just up the creek is the Westchester Park which is primarily a softball park. It too has a playground. The West Papio Trail and the Papillion Creek go past the ball diamonds.

South 24th Street Murals that have Disappeared.
On N Street on both sides of the street there are murals that are no longer. The Magic City Mural which appears on their website is no longer there. It was covered over by the Quetzal mural. They indicate it had deteriorated and needed replacing. The Magic City Mural was painted over another mural which did not have an adequate base, so the entire thing was scratched. It is still seen on Google Maps and the South Omaha Mural Project website.
On the other side of the mural there was a mural with a religious spin. The only left of this mural is Our Lady Guadalupe. The mural on the neighboring street no longer exists. However I did find them still on Google Maps.
