Bellevue is a lovely little town just at the south east end of Omaha - which doesn't really feel like a suburb as much as some places do. It's old and has history and some nice little areas. It has a great Vietnamese place to eat. It's just an all-around Good Egg as far as suburbs go and they even have their own newspaper.

I will come back thru and visit as there apparently is a marble museum, a children's museum, a living history farm, and a speedway in the area.

Omaha, Nebraska seems to be growing on me as one of my new favorite cities. The downtown area seems…read moreto be where it's at but once you leave that downtown area it goes downhill pretty quick! This city features cool things that I don't even expect to see in a city like mine that of Chicago. In this city alone, I have been to a speakeasy, checked out it's beautiful downtown with the Scenic Overlook of the River and even explored his Old Town District. The downtown area is very walkable which is what I love about Omaha. Price is here throughout most of the downtown area are very fair. The amenities are above and beyond! It feels like a major destination. I even do feel safe walking here late at night. Throughout my time driving here there's always minimal traffic here, friendly people passing by and not too many homeless people around the downtown area though they are a bit outside the city. Navigating the streets are easy. The city has great gas prices and everything is accessible while nothing being too far away!

I love downtown Omaha!…read more I don't drive a car so the fact I'm on almost every bus line in town is such a convenience. I'm within walking distance to many nice places to eat, gyms, and just places to hang out. If I HAD to complain we need like a Hyvee or a Walmart neighborhood market down here because the grocery options are kinda lame. If you're in downtown Omaha make sure you check out the old market or go walk the river front, it's beautiful!

There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance from theses two attractions,…read morebut this is not a destination park and most people won't be traveling here just for the parks. There are located across the street from each other. The bronze and stainless steel sculptures are the work of Blair Buswell and Edward Fraughton. First National Bank commissioned the large projects, which was headed by landscape architect Jim Reeves. There two attractions are considered the largest installation of bronze and stainless steel work of art in the United States and one of the two or three largest in the world. They both are in landscaped areas with Pioneer Courage being in more of a park and and Spirit of Nebraska Wilderness being in more of a plaza. The Spirit of Nebraska Primarily consists of a bunch of buffaloes and Canadian geese. I love how they have scattered a few of the sculptures all the way down a couple of blocks. You will find geese sculptures on light poles and buffaloes just hanging out by their lonesome. The bulk of this display is in a little plaza area with a couple of benches and a paved walkway. Pioneer Courage Park gives a very life-like and accurate depiction of westward expansion with statues families and animals, with wagons, venturing into unfamiliar territory. The sculptures are divided into sub sections including one titled Wagon Master, which represents the wagon that guided the rest of the pioneers and was responsible for supplies and management of the group. There is also the Hunter Group, which represents the wagon trains that were responsible for hunting and providing food provisions. You will also see the Trail Boss, waving his hat in the air and a Native American sentinel . The sculptures are very detailed. You can really feel their struggle. Viewers are able to mingle about and in between the sculptures. The are nice pieces and you can't miss them. They definitely catches your eye, but as I mentioned, I do not see people making either of these their primary destination. Most visitors, such as myself, will be passing by or on their way to another destination and then are drawn in by the magnificent sculptures. They will peek your curiosity. Still, they are something that you must see while in Omaha. I highly recommend checking it out.

When we went inside, the nice guy told us we could either go walk the big bridge outside in the back which goes over the Missouri River or to watch the 25 minute Lewis & Clark adventures video. We chose to walk the bridge which was really cool. When getting to the middle of the bridge, you could put one foot on the state of Nebraska and the other foot on the Iowa side! It also was a beautiful view in and direction you looked from here. After we walked back into the museum and watched the 25 min film. It was a good short film and very informative. Was glad we watched it to see some of our US History. There was just a few items to look at inside. Plain and simple museum! Restroom was nice and clean. Nice people work here, security was really nice too. Must check out if you are ever in the Omaha area near Omaha Airport!

They have also the unigrids (brochures) that you can find in each of the National Parks. The gift shop has nice items like badges, magnets, shirts, caps, books, national parks passports, animal/insect figures, stuffed toys, pens, etc. The rangers were very nice and answered questions well. They can allow you to see the 25-minute video about the Lewis and Clark expedition which was very informative. You can access the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge at the back from here where you can find the Nebraska/Iowa state line.

This sculpture is the work of Matthew Placzek who created this wonderful piece in 2009. It was not…read morehis original idea though, Placzek only fulfilled a design by John David Brcin, from the late 1920's that was intended for the Joslyn Memorial (now Joslyn Art Museum). It is made of bronze, weighs 5 tons, and stands 15 feet high. This statue use to be located at the Joslyn Art Museum, which is closed until at least sometime next year. However, I found that it was recently moved behind the CHI Health Center, in Lewis and Clark Landing, right next to the MLK Jr. Pedestrian Bridge. It is a nice sculpture that is a nod to Omaha's Native American heritage. It depicts a proud Native American on horseback as the horse rears up on its hind legs. It is in an extremely new area that they are still doing the landscaping. You see a lot of hay nets down to assist with growing grass in the area. The sculpture is in decent shape, especially considering its age. I cannot wait to see what they do with the area that the statue is now located. Anyway, as with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 15 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

Having never lived in Dundee, this review is primarily based on the business district. The main…read morestreet, Underwood Ave, is just a few blocks north of Dodge. To get there you will drive past a number of magnicent homes that date back 100 years. The first thing you'll notice as you approach Dundee from the west on Underwood is that the business district starts on 51st street and stretches a couple of blocks. This is an extremely walkable area with several bars and restaurants on the street so park the car and take a walk. This is easily one of my favorite streets in the city and it's great for a night out. You can park, grab a bite at one of the many great restaurants (Mark's for example), get a drink or two (might I recomend the Dundee Dell), get some ice cream (eCreamery is just steps away). If you want to get a cup of cofee, walk five blocks to the south on 50th street for Dunde Double Shot Coffee. From there, its just a few more steps to the east to catch a flick at the restored Dundee Theatre. Now that we've got that out of the way, I will say, I've always wanted to live in Dundee. We toured several houses and made a few unsuccesful offers on a few. Just keep in mind that competition is intense in Dundee as it may be the most desirable neighborhood in the city. So if this where you want to live, be prepared!

I've lived in the general Dundee area my entire life. What can I say other than I love it here?…read moreIt's one of Omaha's only walkable neighborhoods, with an array of great businesses open during all hours of the day. There's a diverse group of people who live here as well -- from college kids in run down apartments to seniors in government housing to families dwelling in the many well-kept large brick homes. My suggestion: Take a walk on 51st Street towards Underwood Avenue, hit up Le Quartier for a snack and then head to A.B.'s for a soda. Swing back towards your destination along 50th Street and just enjoy the serene beauty of Dundee in any season.
