PLACE GAME FOR LONG SCHOOL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, OEDC OCT. 6
OMAHA – The Long School Neighborhood Association and the Omaha Economic Development Corporation are teaming up with Omaha by Design to host a Place Game workshop Saturday, Oct. 6. Registration for the event will begin at 8:45 a.m. at the Omaha Economic Development Corporation, 2221 N. 24th St. The two-hour workshop will begin promptly at 9 a.m., and refreshments will be provided.
The LSNA is bordered by Hamilton Street on the south, Lake Street on the north, 27th Street on the west and 24th Street on the east. The workshop will focus on several neighborhood areas, including the site of the former Fair Deal Café at 2118 N. 24th St. During the 1960s, the Fair Deal Café was a popular gathering spot for community activists.
During the workshop, trained Omaha by Design facilitators will lead small groups through the neighborhood, asking them to take note of what they see, hear and feel. The groups will then convene for a brainstorming session to identify opportunities for improving the area.
