What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

South Omaha Post Office on the Old Main Street (now 24th)

The post office is at 47 30 So, 24th street.  24th street use to be the main street of South Omaha.  The post office was built in 1899.  It was the high light of South Omaha, which grew quickly because of the meat packing companies in town.  It features classical revival architecture with Roman Corinthian columns.  Historically it also housed government agriculture offices and a military recruiting station but now is dedicated to postal services only.  It reminds everyone that South Omaha has a history independent of Omaha but is now part of Omaha.

St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha

 In addition to flower pictures from St. Cecelia this weekend I took a few of the cathedral.  There was lots of stained glass, and statues, and art and architecture.  The cathedral is very large.  Consecrated in 1959 after about 50 years of construction.  It is 255 feet long, 158 feet wide and 222 feet wide.
