Vintage Omaha, editor Kristine Gerber, Omaha World Herald, Omaha Nebraska, 2019.
This is a collection of old photographs from the Omaha World Herald. Each photograph contains a blurp about what is happenning. The photographs are in no ordered fashion, and they are not chronological. There are hundreds of photographs spanning several decades.
Some photographs that caught my eye, line for the flu shot, a kissing marathon with a young kisser standing on a box of books, Inside Rosenblatt Stadium, Inside SACS headquarters when President Jimmy Carter visited, several of Peony Park, including one of a lifeguard, The end of WWII, Martin Bomber Plant at Offutt with women workers, Aksarben race track and livestock show, a young girl emulating a baton club member. I enjoyed looking through the pictures and there are many stories.
There is a nice pictur of Fred W. Buffett inside his store. There are many pictures of old business districts which are no more. These sometimes didn't mean much to me.
