2018-2019 Business Directory and Guide for the Midtown-Omaha community
Advocating for a healthy Midtown business community www.midtownbusinessassociation.org The University of Nebraska Medical Center is poised to transform health care education, and – as aviation simulation changed the ight industry – propel the training of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals into the next generation with emerging virtual and augmented reality.
Through its iEXCELSM initiative, UNMC is enhancing connectivity and interdisciplinary education across the state through the strategic installation of iWalls in Omaha, Scottsbluff, Kearney, Lincoln and Norfolk.
Thanks to a public-private partnership, the iEXCEL program will be based in the new $121.8 million Davis Global Center, along with the National Center for Health Security and Biopreparedness, which will train federal health care personnel in treating highly infectious diseases.
Health care providers can visualize – in 3D – abnormalities of the heart or other organs. And, rather than a static CT scan, a 3D hologram allows physicians to walk around the organ – while seemingly suspended in space – for a truly realistic-looking image.
Students in the EON Reality VR Innovation Academy, housed on the UNMC campus, will be trailblazers in lling a critical workforce need as augmented and virtual reality gains a foothold in education. The academy is one of ve in the United States; one of 15 in the world. After 11 months, participating students earn an industry certi cate from EON Reality.

SADDLE CREEK Jeff Harwood started work- ing at Mama’s Pizza when he was 18. His dad owned the business and in 2000 Harwood became a business owner himself when he bought it from his dad. Now he is one of five owners of Mama’s Pizza. “There is a strong sense of loyalty from the Midtown com- munity,” he said. “It’s amazing how many families have been coming to Mama’s Pizza. We’ve seen them raise their kids through the years.” Harwood said one of the reasons he continues to own and operate the family busi- ness is strong community ties. Midtown just feels like home to him.

FARNAM STREET When Tony Thomas and three friends decid- ed to open a brewery he knew the key would be location. He wanted to find the perfect place. He looked at almost a dozen buildings and waited almost two years before finding his perfect location at 3558 Farnam St. “I knew this area was going to be great,” said Thomas, co-owner of Farnam House Brewery. “Midtown Crossing was being devel- oped and Crescent Moon was already firmly established. This building was almost perfect for a brewery and the neighborhood was up and coming.” Thomas says business is good. There are many young professionals in the neighbor- hood and they have established a stream of return customers. The brewery houses 14 barrels and showcases 14-18 craft beers made on location. Thomas plans to add barrel stackers to increase production and expand his beer selection.

BLACKSTONE Why is Dundee Bank in the Blackstone district?. According to Patrick Zach, loan officer, the bank loved the idea of being a part of the neighborhood that it was helping others revitalize. “We saw that it was turning into a special place,” Zach said. The bank saw an oppor- tunity in the old filling station in the heart of Blackstone. With the historical preservation complete, the bank opened for service in December, 2016. “We are happy to be here, in this vibrant part of town.” The bank location also puts them in close proximity to many small business owners in the community. “We enjoy working with and supporting lo- cal businesses,” Zach said. “We are commit- ted to the community we work in.” The bank branch can be seen on the cover of this publication.

LEAVENWORTH NEIGHBORHOOD Family-owned since the summer of 1987, Barrett’s Barleycorn sits in a sweet spot, according to Karen Barrett. “Midtown is such a great area to be a part of,” she said. The neighborhood history and vibe make the area unique. The tavern sits almost centered between UNO and Creigh- ton and at the back door of UNMC. Several other big and mid-sized business are nearby, too. “That really drives our business,” Barrett said. “Being in the middle of UNO and Creighton gives us a great sports fan base.” Being part of the MBA is invaluable to Barleycorn. “They promote community and togetherness,” Barrett said. Besides hosting events for the business community, “MBA strives to help Midtown through improvements and being our voice in local politics,” she said. “The MBA has lunches throughout the year at different res- taurants in Midtown, and we have had the pleasure of host- ing a few,” Barrett said. The tavern also gives back in big and small ways. For example, Barleycorn hosts fundraisers for those in need or by donating to area causes, such as for the annual Field Club fireworks or school festivals. “We have been lucky enough to be a part of the greatest location in Omaha ... Midtown.”

The vision by GreenSlate and Clar- ity development companies — which in recent years have partnered on other real estate ventures building up the once-deserted-now-trendy Black- stone business district — goes even further than reviving the 1916 hotel that reigned throughout the Roaring ’20s and a grand chunk of the 20th century.

164 rooms in the existing historic structure. “It’s our shot at bringing back an icon,” said Matt Dwyer of GreenSlate. “We, as a city, do not have a historic iconic hotel as most great cities do.” Dwyer and Clarity’s Tom McLeay referred to other legend- ary Omaha hotels that have been converted to condos (like the Paxton), have fallen into disrepair or have been demolished alto- gether (like the Fontenelle). The Blackstone, during its heyday, was host to visitors such as Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, Eleanor Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, who would ride in the hotel’s private car, a Pierce Ar- row, and read its magazine, the Blackstonian. The eighth floor ballroom will be restored. See Page 25

this historic Omaha landmark,” said Tom Janssen, Kiewit spokesman. Though the Blackstone busi- ness district is losing a Fortune 500 corporate neighbor, developers are looking forward to other benefits. In city documents, they say, the revived hotel will provide “an incredible boost to the local economy, particularly the small businesses located in the Blackstone District.” When done, the developers estimate the hotel’s value to rise to nearly $40 million. Dwyer said that early on, his team recognized that “there was no other use for” the structure than a historic hotel. He and McLeay said conversion to housing or office use would have been cost-prohibitive. “It needed to be returned back to its former glory,” Dwyer said. — Omaha World-Herald Completion of construction and renovation of the Blackstone Hotel is anticipated by 2020.

Dundee Bank has opened its newest bank branch in the Blackstone District in a building that was originally built by the National Refining Company in 1930 as a new service station by White Rose Oil Company. During the 1980s, the location was the site of an Italian restaurant that operated for several years. Then in the early 1990s it became home to McFoster’s Natural Kind Café, who closed its doors in 2014. Dundee Bank’s idea was to bring the old building back to life. Working with The Architectural Offices, the original façade of the building was brought back to resemble the look of the gas station. The structure mimics the garage doors that were in place on both sides of the main office. Three of the exterior light fixtures were fabricated to match one of the original light fixtures that remains. The drywall on the interior was taken down to reveal the covered original tile wall, and featured in the lobby is the original quarry tile floor that was cleaned and restored. A modern canopy drive-up window, separate from the main building was added, along with the installation of a new HVAC system. Congratulations to Dundee Bank for its dedication to maintain- ing the historic value of this old building and bringing it back to life.
FILM STREAMS
Film Streams is a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization dedicat- ed to enhancing the cultural environment of the Omaha-Council Bluffs area through the presentation and discussion of film as an art form. Since July 2007, Film Streams has operated the two- screen Ruth Sokolof Theater in North Downtown, delivering new American independent movies, documentaries, international films, classics, collaborative screenings, arts education initiatives, film- maker Q&As and other special programs. Thanks to a visionary gift from the Sherwood Foundation that placed the 93-year-old Dundee Theater under the care of Film Streams, the organization carried out an extensive renovation of the historic venue to secure its place in Omaha. Restoration efforts included adding a new lobby on the north side and a safer entrance in the back. Another addition was a café owned and operated by Kitchen Table and a new bookstore. The new Dundee maintains its original 300-plus-seat auditorium, but added a 25-seat microcinema. The new Dundee officially reopened on Dec. 1, 2017, and has been operating two venues seven days a week, significantly expanding the number of quality film programs reaching the Omaha area. For this reason, in May, 2018 the Midtown Business Asso- ciation was pleased to present a Neighborhood Improvement award to Film Streams at the Dundee Theater. Rachel Jacobsen, executive director, and Casey Logan, deputy director accepted the award.

A summer meeting of the MBA board was attended by representatives from Mercy High School.

The group from the school requested fund- ing to help with its registration costs for the State Leadership Conference and for member T-shirts (which would include the MBA logo). The Mercy team discussed that the collabora- tion with MBA could result in business tours, guest speakers and job shadowing. The board agreed to the sponsorship and partnership with the group. “What a great opportunity to support them,” said Paul Swanson, MBA board president. “I think it’s a natural fit.” There are currently about 30 students who participate in the school’s FBLA club, where students learn teamwork and leadership skills. “We try to create an opportunity for the girls to see how things actually work in the busi- ness world,” said Carson, who is a business teacher in addition to FBLA adviser. The State Leadership Conference is a chance for the girls to compete against other students in various categories. “There are tests on different business subjects, speech competitions, mock job interviews and com- puter programming challenges,” to name a few competitions, said Carson. Winners at the state competition can advance to the national competition. Mercy High School had two students compete at nationals for the 2017-18 school year.
