I took these a few days ago around the Old Market. I planned on doing a people thread but I found these signs to be more interesting at the time.
Enjoy!
Looking west from 11th and Harney. Orpheum Tower in the background.
In the Old Market along Howard St.
Lotus: A women's clothing store
Drastic Plastic: One of the record stores in the Old Market
Zio's Pizza: A New York style pizza place. It's one of my favorite places to eat even though I'm much more a Chicago pizza fan
No Biking: They must have shot the rider
Asian. Mongolian. A lion? Maybe it's on the menu
O'Connors: Site of a personal, drunken mishap (More to come)
Hollywood Candy: A new place in the Market. It used to be offices
Stretch of the Old Market along 13th between Howard and Jackson
13th St. Coffee: They have an awesome pic of the new Pope slamming this huge stein of beer before he was the Pope
Nicola's: Haven't been here either. Nice patio though.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. And amazingly a parking spot
Ted & Wally's: THE BEST ICE CREAM ON EARTH!! They make all sorts of flavors. My favorite is Guiness. Yes the beer. They have all sorts of alcohol and dessert flavored ice creams. On the weekends there's lines around the building.
I just really like this picture. The towers in the roles of feminine and masculine
Stop for Tiques and More
Retro Rocket: There were a bunch of these spray painted around the Market. The rockets made a trail and pointed the way to the store. I followed
Side entrance to many Old Market establishments
Making my way towards the alley
Aww refreshing
Breezing into the alley
Live long and prosper
Retro Rocket
My house in the alley's terminated vista
Omaha Clay Works: Another surprise I never saw before
When my pics persuade you to move to Omaha, look here
Nomad Lounge: A fancy place to hang out. In between the leather couched seating areas are mini art galleries
The Passport Restaurant: Another fancy place to dine. This part of the Market is kind of exclusive
1101 Jackson: New high-end condos in the Old Market
U/C jLofts: Another high end condo project that will block the lovely view of my building
Ted & Wally's: DID I MENTION IT HAS THE BEST ICE CREAM ON EARTH
A non-Satanic antique shop
Iron against the Market
A cool private residence in the Old Market
Windows. A favorite subject of mine to shoot
One last look at the Passport
1101 Jackson windows. No doubt a great view from within
Smoke break on Jackson St.
Get a tatto. Get a piercing. It's the American thing to do
Sam & Louie's Pizza: A new New York pizza place. I love the big garage door that opens up to the street
Vignettes: Of course I'd have to do this in black and white
Fairmont and fair skies
And stopping at the grocery store before heading home.
Until next time...
