Welcome to South Omaha, the ‘Magic City’

In 2015 SOBA will celebrate 93 years of service to the South Omaha business community. Its

mission to preserve the diversity, heritage and economic vitality of the community has created a legacy of unprecedented growth which earned the title of “Magic City” for South Omaha during its early years.

Anchored by the iconic Tree of Life sculpture at the intersection of 24th and L Streets, the Streetscape Proj-ect symbolizes the rich tapestry wo-ven by waves of immigrants drawn to the life-sustaining bounty of the meatpacking and railroad industries. Ethnic contributions to the culture, foods and arts of South Omaha are alive and thriving today.

In its 30th consecutive year, the annual Cinco de Mayo Festival is

held during the first week of May to commemorate the defeat of the French by a Mexican army at the city of Puebla in Mexico in 1862. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico’s Independence Day — the most important national holiday in Mexico — which is celebrated on Sept. 16. In South Omaha, both celebratory events attract visitors from the sur-rounding region in a fiesta environ-ment of parades, carnivals, ethnic foods, live entertainment and chil-dren’s activities.

A recent attraction in South Omaha is the Holiday Lights Festival, now in its third year. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, the trees and build-ing tops along 24th Street between L and Q Streets are illuminated with hundreds of glowing lights. The festi-

val continues with holiday activities through the second week of January.

SOBA members represent all business and professional sectors of our community. Each contributes to our mission of preserving diversity, heritage and economic vitality. This inaugural directory and resource guide is dedicated to their continued collaborative spirit of engagement.

If you are not yet a member of SOBA, consider this a personal invi-tation to join us. Visit our Web site: www.southomaha.org for an easy-to-navigate membership application. We want you to have a contributing role in the success story that is the “Magic City.”

Greetings from Garry Gernandt

Love those words, “South Omaha.” Love even more the Community and what we have accomplished

just in the last decade. Just to name a few, the partnership of Metro Com-munity College and the Omaha Public Library; South High School’s Collin Sta-dium, the baseball field at Brown Park and new softball fields at H.P. Smith Sports Complex; the 24th Streetscape between L and Q; two new OPS elemen-tary schools; renovation of 9 of the 11 South Omaha parks; 55 new housing units; new Veterans Bridge over the Missouri River and the partnerships with the Southeast Police Precinct, South Omaha Neighborhood Alliance and South Omaha Business Association.

Omahans currently have access to 2-1-1, 4-1-1, 5-1-1, 6-1-1, 7-1-1, 8-1-1 and 9-1-1, but not 3-1-1 (emergency city ser-vices). My 13-year quest to get Omaha a 3-1-1 system nearly became reality in 2012, only to be vetoed in 2013. I believe our current request for a non- emergency city services line is ripe for change, and it will continue to be a priority of mine. Maintaining our suc-

cessful Graffiti Abatement Program is high on the radar, along with promoting sound neighborhood initiatives.

Contrary to a limited few, South Oma-ha’s outlook is bright, but not without challenges. We must not let our guard down when it comes to crime, nuisances and our general overall appearance. Most violations have measures in place to resolve them; it just takes someone to activate those measures. We face a massive sewer overhaul project, both in cost and neighborhood impact. We see new faces, we hear new languages and we work for a good quality of life.

All those buzz phrases, “get in-volved,” “put skin in the game,” “take back your streets,” “don’t vote-don’t complain” have their place. But, what it all boils down to is we (South Omaha) have never coasted and never will!

Garry GernandtOmaha City Councilman, District 4



About SOBA

A brief historyOn March 29, 1922, the

business people of South Omaha incorporated the South Omaha Merchants Association with the follow-ing purpose:

“The object and purpose for which this Associa-tion is organized and the business in which it shall be engaged shall be the promotion of the govern-ment, industrial and public interests and public welfare of the district south of A Street of Omaha, Nebraska and to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Omaha, Ne-braska.”

Over the years, the South Omaha Merchants Association has become the South Omaha Business Association (SOBA), and South Omaha itself has changed dramatically. “A” Street is now Interstate 80, north/south traffic now used the Kennedy Freeway over South 24th Street, and only a small portion of the meatpacking industry that put South Omaha on the map is still in operation.

Yet the more South Omaha has changed, the more it remains the same. Immigrant entrepreneur-ial energy and ambition remain the bedrock of busi-ness old and new.

Mission statementTo preserve the diver-

sity, heritage and economic vitality of the community of South Omaha.

About SOBAOur impact

For over 90 years, the South Omaha Business Association has been making a positive impact in the community of South Omaha.

Inner-city urban areas across the

nation face the challenge of preserv-ing their historical identity as well as garnering support to help their busi-ness districts thrive.

SOBA continues to play a key role

• Partnering with the City of Omaha, the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and other community organiza-tions on short-term and long-term community improve-ment projects.

• Taking a leadership role in the redevelop-ment of the historic South 24th Street Business District, which includes the recently completed streetscape project and the Tree of Life sculpture installation on the corner of 24th and L Street.

• Partnering with local organizations for annual maintenance of the flower beds in the 24th Street streetscape planters.

• Leading efforts with local shop and restaurant owners to keep their store-fronts and sidewalks clean.

• Sponsoring the local Cinco de Mayo Omaha weekend activities, which annually draw tens of thousands of visitors to South Omaha. Proceeds from the annual event are disbursed to several local non-profit organizations serving community residents.

• Actively participat-ing in graffiti abate-ment projects.

• Donations of bi-cycles to the Omaha Police Department’s bike patrol.

• Donations to foundations providing scholarships to community youth.

Tree of Life and the Medallions

One of the most popular streetscape fea-

tures in South Omaha is the Tree of Life located on the southeast corner of L and South 24th Streets. With respect to the Tree and the meaning or symbol-ism to the medallions, there are seven images that repeat at different sizes. The images rep-resent themes which are cross-cultural and shared in the design motifs found in artwork and architecture of the four ethnicities (Czech, Polish, Croation and Mexican) historically associated with South Omaha.

The symbols on the seven medallions are as follows.

1. Bird (Peacock): symbol of longevity, time and/or infinity. Polish origin. 2. Pottery: Hispano/Moresque influence to the shape. 3. Leaves: the natural world and part of all trees. 4. Apple: depicted in all “trees of life.” The forbidden fruit, Garden of Eden, temptation. 5. Stylized “sun” face: based on cut paper (papel picado) of Mexicandesign. 6. Bird (Peacock): This version is a profile with an art deco plume. 7. Yin/Yang Face: positive/negative or male and female. People are frequently shown in “trees of life,” especially in Mexican versions.

South Omaha has a rich past and a bright future.The area roughly bounded from Interstate 80 to

the north, 13th Street on the east, Q Street to the south and 42nd Street to the west has long welcomed immigrants from around the globe.

Those arriving from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries hailed from such countries as Poland and Czechoslovakia. More recent immigrants tend to be from Mexico and other Central and South American nations.

Once known as the “Magic City” due to its rapid population growth, the district is today experiencing a revitalization.

The resurgence is not accidental. It’s due in large part to the action of community members, such as those who volunteer with SOBA, who are proud of the district they live and work in.

Recently, Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed a reso-lution to create the South Omaha Business Improve-ment Area Board.

The board, would consist of five or more members made up of property owners, residents, business owners and so on within the district. The board will be appointed by the mayor and approved by the City Council.

The goals of the board will be to guide and create

A great place to bea general focus for growth and improve-ments in the district.

This is a great step forward in strength- ening a community that so many are passionate about.

A past survey, along with interviews and focus groups, revealed that the people of the district — including businesses and prop-erty owners — saw the district’s greatest strengths as its history, location, restaurants, diversity, business growth and opportuni-ties to attract new businesses.

Some negatives that were revealed included a negative public

A great place to beperception of the district and the poor appearance of properties and the overall district.

In response, the Forward South Omaha concept was created. The goal of the concept was to make the district more appealing and attractive. The concept also com-municated a distinctive Latino flavor while re-specting the ethnic past of South Omaha.

With the flowing 24th Streetscape being born of the vision, it helped create a colorful and lively business district. Visitors to the area will encounter colorfully tiled walkways and plant-ers that pay homage to the cultures of South

A great place to beOmaha. During summer months, the planters are overflowing with colorful flowers. In winter the streets come to life with the warm glow of holiday lights.

A destination in its own right, the district plays host, to numer-ous festivals, including the Holi-day Lights Festival and Cinco de Mayo, and has a lively arts scene.

The district also offers an array of food and dining options. Many establishments are family-owned, and reflect the heritage of the area’s immigrants.

Spanish, written and spoken, is predominant. But most merchants have staff who can translate.

Even more reflective of the energy in the area, are the many murals to be found painted on walls throughout the district.

By taking a walking tour of the district, visitors can take their time to gaze at these lively and colorful tributes.

the area’s growth is the desire of the Omaha Public Schools to construct two new elementary schools, a new middle school, and a new high school school and to improve existing schools in the South Omaha area.

Goals of the OPS plan would be to better meet the needs of the growing student popu-lation in the area.

South Omaha is alive and healthy, thanks in large part to com-munity members who desire to see the area succeed.

History of South Omaha

A FEW FIRSTS• Sunday school service was held in 1884 by the Rev. Charles W. Salvidge.• General store opened in June 1884 by W.G. Sloane.• School building in 1884, just south of St. Mary’s Cemetery.• First fire company formed in 1887, and the first fire chief was Fred J. Smith.• First mayor was Ezra P. Savage.

South Omaha has long been a melting pot, initially welcoming

European immigrants, and more recently those of South and Central American stock.

The City of South Omaha got its start in 1882, when a group of Omaha business-men and a prominent cattle-man, Alexander Swan from Wyoming, agreed to create a new stockyards.

The Union Stock Yards Company was created at the end of 1883. Land in the area was purchased from early German and Irish settlers.

With 1,875 acres purchased, the area was registered as a township with the Douglas County Clerk’s office in July 1884.

The stockyards were a big draw for new

Churches came along as the city grew, first was a Methodist, then Baptist,

History of South OmahaPresbyterian and Catho-lic. Other denominations quickly followed, building churches in the city.

Packinghouses and the livestock industry thrived and grew quickly in the city, bringing more and more new residents almost daily.

Known as the “Magic City” because of its amaz-ing growth, South Omaha had 8,000 residents by 1890. And by 1915, it had a population of 30,000.

Omaha and South Omaha had been linked by an electric trolley line in 1887, that ran from 22nd Street and Ames Avenue in Omaha to 24th and N Streets in South Omaha.

History of South Omahastruggled for many years to remain independent. In 1890 a proposal was made to join South Omaha to Omaha, but residents of South Omaha voted strongly against the pro-posal.

South Omaha became a part of Omaha in 1915 after legislation was introduced and passed at the statehouse that would allow Dundee, Omaha and South Omaha to become one.

The overall vote of the three municipalities over-whelmingly supported the consolidation, despite a strong no vote from South Omaha, and the Magic City was officially annexed by Omaha.

History of Cinco de Mayo

What is the significance of the fifth of

May in Mexican his-tory?

Outside of Mexico, Cindo de Mayo (trans-lated: the fifth of May) is often mistakenly interpreted as Mexico’s Independence Day and equivalent to the U.S.’s Fourth of July holiday. Sept. 16 is actually Mexico’s Independence Day, which launched the war to win Mexico freedom from Spain’s rule.

Cinco de Mayo’s roots begin in 1862. After being an inde-pendent nation for more than 40 years and

History of Cinco de Mayoenduring a series of external and internal conflicts, Mexico was heavily in debt to Spain, England and France. France was attempting to ex-pand its empire and claimed the outstand-ing debt as justifica-tion to send troops to capture Mexico City and seize rule of Mexico.

A well-outfitted French army of 6,500 soldiers landed on the gulf coast of Mexico and began march-ing toward Mexico City. On May 5, 1862, they were met in Puebla and defeated by Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza and
