Long School Place Game Workshop October 6
The Long School Neighborhood Association (LSNA), in conjunction with the Omaha Economic Development Authority (OEDC), will host a Place Game workshop Saturday, Oct. 6. Participants will meet at the OEDC, 2221 N. 24th St., from 9 to 11 a.m. Registration will begin at 8:45 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 three areas – the intersection of 26th and Blondo, 24th Street from Franklin to Seward, and 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 a Place Game workshop, trained Omaha by Design facilitators lead small groups through a series of sites selected for analysis, asking them to take note of what they see, hear and feel. The groups then convene for a brainstorming session to identify opportunities for improving the sites.
“You don’t have to be an expert in urban planning to participate in the Place Game process,” said Teresa Gleason, program manager at Omaha by Design.
