I was interested in some of the things I wrote about regarding Omaha, Nebraska, in the earlier "Ten Great Places to Stream Through Cities-- Part 3," so looked them up in good old Wiki.
BOB KERREY PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE-- is a 3000 foot cable-stayed bridge over the Missouri River connecting Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha. It was opened in 2008 and quite impressive.
USS HAZARD-- AM-240, A World War II minesweeper commissioned in 1944 and took part in action. It was also fitted for anti-submarine warfare, patrol and escort duty. Its motto, "No Sweep, No Invasion." It is the only ship left of its 126 vessel Admirable-class. The only other one, the USS Inaugural was destroyed by the Great Flood of 1993 in St. Louis.
USS MARLIN-- a training submarine launched in 1953.
Just three more things to see the next time we're in Omaha which is one beautiful city with lots of things to see and do, along with the Lincoln Highway.
Freedom Park, a Destination. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
