‘My Omaha’ Is A Son’s Journey To Understand His Dad - And His City
For filmmaker Nick Beaulieu, My Omaha began as one kind of documentary and gradually became something much more personal. What started as a journalistic exploration of his hometown evolved into an intimate examination of family, politics, race, community and his complicated relationship with his father. Along the way, Beaulieu found himself not only documenting Omaha, but reconsidering his own place within the city and the communities that shape it.

Nick Beaulieu on Reconciling Different Sides of a City in “My Omaha”
When Nick Beaulieu started down the path of making what would become “My Omaha,” he imagined going backwards in time, attempting to find the roots of how his hometown in Nebraska was shaped generations before he was born into a city where few from the predominantly white West Omaha where he grew up would make the trip to predominantly Black North Omaha and vice versa. What he couldn’t have dreamed of was having something that would be rewarding generations into the future.

Nebraska tile contractor gives new life to 71-year-old mosaic mural
This month’s Artisan story is an epic tale—dare I say odyssey?—of a monumental mosaic mural restoration in Lincoln, Neb. In 1955, Omaha artist Leonard Thiessen, together with Bill J. Hammon, designed and installed a mural on the Pershing Center Auditorium in Lincoln. The venue was the site of concerts, sporting events, graduations, theater events, and more over the years, and the mural depicted an array of those special moments. When the Pinnacle Bank Arena replaced the auditorium, the building was slated for demolition.

Omaha’s 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition and What Came Next
North Omaha’s Kountze Park holds a special place in Omaha history as the site of the city’s very own world’s fair. The event followed the success of the Chicago World’s Fair leading a small committee of businessmen to pitch the idea of bringing a similar event to Omaha. Included in that group was the event’s president and chairman Gurdon Wattles, a businessman who moved to Omaha three years earlier and helped consolidate the various streetcar lines into the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway. William Jennings Bryan, the former congressman, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 1896, was also a part of the committee.
