City Light Mosaic Church

 I do not know much about this denomination but assume it is Christian.  It is on Woolworth in the Field Club area.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Millard Heights Park in Omaha (Millard area)

 Millard Heights Park is at the en of the Millard airport, and also the end of Sky Park Drive.  Also the end of the airplane driveway.  

It looks like the plane driveway was not completed here but this is where it would be headed north to the bridge across the gully to the airport.

Gerald R. Ford Birth Site Gardens in Omaha.

 Gerald R. Ford was born July 14, 1913.  His birth name was Leslie Lynch King Jr.  He was born in the home of his paternal great grandparents, in Omaha.  This home burned down in 1971.  When he was 16 days old his mother took the baby and left.  The father had threatened the baby, his mother and his nurse maid with a knife.  She moved in with family in Illinois, and then Grand Rapids, Michigan where her parents lived.  She was granted custody of the baby through a divorce procedure.

A couple years later she remarried, and the baby took his step father's name, Gerald Rudolff Ford.  The adoption became official in 1935 and his name was changed to Gerald Rudolph Ford.  Gerald Ford was the 38th president of the United States.  His presidential library is in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the University of Michigan.  The presidential museum is in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  His birth site is in Omaha.

This site needs another visit when the gardens will be in bloom

Millard Airport Had a Unique Feature.

 I don't usually visit airports, but Millard Airport is unique.  It was designed with an airplane driveway so people could park their airplanes at home and taxi them to the airport.  Since 9-11 this feature has not been available and the driveway has been integrated into the backyards of the houses.  The airport is ten miles west of downtown Omaha.  It is in Millard which has been annexed into Omaha.  They average over 60 airplane episodes a day.  While I was there I only saw one.
