historic florence on display
July 13, 2010
Mayor Jim Suttle – in partnership with Live Well Omaha, Omaha by Design and the Omaha Marathon – is hosting a series of guided neighborhood walks throughout the city this summer and fall. It’s an opportunity for residents to become more active and learn about the neighborhoods that make up Omaha. Each walk features a guide with knowledge of the area.
The July 11 walk took participants through the historic streets of Florence (see photos above). Florence advocate Linda Meigs, owner of the Florence Mill, served as the tour guide.
The walks are free and open to the public. The remainder of the 2010 schedule is below.
