It was a feeder for Wakonda and Nathan Hale during the 70s. <br />There were a couple of fires at the location, very busy with the OPD as well. <br /><br />The road between Newport and Read has been that way for over 50 years. Used to be a farm house down the road. Have not seen the house in any arial photos.

The 50th reunion of my North High School graduating class is this summer and it looks like I may have to attend. The Bohemian Cafe is still there?! There is a pedestrian bridge across the river to Playland Park?! Your photos of Canigias on Fort St. stunned me. When I hug out there in high school, the parking lot/eating area was gravel. The original location was also a drive in that the locals called "Horse Meat Harrys". I forget the true name.<br /><br />OK, its been 50 years, but I still refer to Omaha as "back home"RP Johnsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36542287.post-43072585915367040552009-04-22T14:07:00.000-05:002009-04-22T14:07:00.000-05:00Wintergreen was a cesspool of crime, gangs, and dr...Wintergreen was a cesspool of crime, gangs, and drugs during the 80's and 90's. When first built, mid to late 60's, was a really nice place. There was a push to develop to the north at that time, the projects were abandoned for one reason or another, Wintergreen was one of the first to be completed in that area, and unfortunately, the maybe the last... There were a whole bunch of abandoned areas in Omaha similar to this, that just didn't seem to make any sense, malls, catholic colleges, church campuses, all over town, that just sat vacant and deteriorating. There was even a whole neighborhood abandoned, down in Bellevue, next to the airforce base. Looked like the homes were circa post wwII. Reminded me of Love Canal. Some of the development to the north has picked up again throughout the 90's. Even stretches of interstate highways, sat abandoned, for a long time. There was an overpass/offramp that sat vacant at 30th and Dodge thereabouts, for 20 some years. <br />There were bridge supports built out in the middle of a field, south of Omaha, as far as I know a road still has never been built there...go figure<br />~Chew~`ChewY`noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36542287.post-81709364606418254542009-04-13T21:35:00.000-05:002009-04-13T21:35:00.000-05:00Omababe...I was checking WOWT's website tonight an...Omababe...I was checking WOWT's website tonight and saw a segment about the Wintergreen apartments and some possible upcoming development.
