I want to move out to Omaha
From Nebraska and have always enjoyed the Old Market. Always will have a special place in my heart. Staying at the Embassy Suites, parking the truck and walking the area is always fun. Hard to choose where to eat, food is all delicious!!!!!
Going to the Old Market was one of my favorite things to do as a kid growing up in Omaha. Interesting to see it as an adult after over 30 years.
Wow this place is perfect for a good walk!
Thanks, I'm just getting started with walking tours. :) I love your channel, I just subscribed! I hope to one day visit Singapore.
It’s a lovely walk you did

Are you sure this is Omaha,Ne??
You didn't officially get to the Old Market until 7:26
Exactly, very tiny!!
the last 40 years car-centric culture killed much walkable streetlife in the majority of US cities and Omaha is victim to this, Old Market is the most popping part of town which is s shame considering how small the area actually is.
It really is eerie for in a downtown area to see so many large lots/buildings and wide streets and barely have any traffic and half the buildings are empty parking garages...
If Omaha develops the style of Old Market outward but allow for public transit, biking and clear unobstructed pedestrian paths, I can totally see Omaha being the hottest city to move to (if not for the cheap cost of living alone)
Agree. The 1970 car centric planning really destroyed cities.
Lived there 4 years. Used to be fun to live there....not so much now
Wow..a lot of changes in 40 yrs...but i see Spaghetti Works is still there...i bet it costs more than $5 to eat there today though.
I see online that the French cafe closed but it doesn't say the date closed the date it went out of business.. it was there 40 years ago I never ate there because I heard it was super expensive it was the most expensive in the whole city and you had to wear a dress code to go in there...but it did look nice...sad to hear it's not there anymore.
Sad to hear the top of the world Restaurant on the 28th floor of the woodmen building is gone...that was real nice.
I also lived in Omaha in the 70s and 80s and was looking for places to recognize on this video. I just checked Spaghetti Works' menu, and if you wanted more after your first order they still will give you more, and it doesn't have to be the same sauce you ordered the first time. There once was a Farquars where a couple of the bands I was in back then played several times. Very early there was a Godfather's Pizza that used very good cheese, but they also had a large room in the back where a band I was in played. M's Pub had good "fancy" food that was way too expensive for what you get. I remember things like cucumber sandwiches; even today a cucumber is less than a buck, so a cucumber sandwich for five bucks? Back then they had a new "menu" each day. I did once eat at the French Cafe with a date, but it was because a student of mine was the head chef, so it was by his invitation. The French Cafe was very good, but I recall my very expensive steak was five or six bites. You would essentially get a good meal with all the courses, but by no means could I afford it back then, nor would I intentionally go there today if it was still there.
@@phillipmoore9012 the French cafe closed years ago and Top of the World restaurant closed years ago also. Do you remember that restaurant?
@@danamiller9080 No, I don't recall Top of the World. If I may digress from the Old Market, I see King Fong Cafe on South 16th Street has survived. I see the Smoke Pit BBQ is now closed. I don't think the image of the building I found was the old place. Back in the day they were important because it was one of the few restaurants open very late, to 3:00 am. Some of the bands I was in would go there after after a gig. Some of the better known bands looking for a late-night supper after a gig occasionally showed up. My memory from back then is failing me, but it seems members of the Jeff Beck group, Rick Derringer's band, Edgar Winter's band, Frank Zappa's band, and blues bands from Chicago come to mind. I may be wrong about one or two, but that was the place to go if you were downtown late.
@@phillipmoore9012 Top of the World restaurant was in The Woodmen building a couple of blocks south of Dodge Street downtown area.
The Old Market has become too Gentrified. It's not like it used to be.
How did it used to be? I hung out there from about '70 to '75.
I guess it really depends how you see it. If developers don't invest in renovating those buildings, than Downtown Omaha would just decay and all that money would just move west.
@@Expat2Expat Agreed. Back in the '70's (nearly 50 years ago) hip people were already complaining about the gentrification of the Old Market. It's as though they were disillusioned that it was no longer a dimly lit and undiscovered labyrinthine casbah & Dead Head Camelot populated by poets, musicians, and practicianers of the arcane arts.
Truth be told I wish it were a bit like that but still, it would be more interesting to me than hanging out at the Westroads.
I left the Big O in '79 and since then have travelled some. When I go back for a visit Downtown Omaha feels like a ghost town. There's no street life.
I know what you mean but an area can only sustain that atmosphere for so long before they need to start updating and trying to bring in money and development. I lived in the Park Ave area of Omaha in the 80's and 90's, it was just the right amount of seedy without being overly dangerous. Last time I was over that way it seemed cleaned up, redeveloped and a sanitized version of what is used to be.
@@gnolan4281Gene Leahy Mall has been destroyed and rebuilt, opened last year. The park is full of people from all ages at any given time, the park is lighted and there are people in the park at night (no longer the same park that did not attract people). Next month the Heartland of America park and the Lewis and Clark Landing park will open, these parks are right along the river, with urban beaches. In total its 72 acres, its called "The Riverfront". These parks are connected and now downtown, old market flows into the river. There are currently several large aparment complexes in downton almost complete and under construction. The new Mutual of Omaha all glass skyscraper larger than our tallest is under construction. The streetcar is also under-construction, which will connect midtown, downtown, old market, the riverfront parks and council bluffs.
