> Here are some more photos of Omaha, taken fairly early on Sunday
> morning, March 15, while I was waiting for the girls to get up and get
> going. We stayed in a hotel several blocks north of downtown. The
> hotel was built in 2008 and there are a number of other new hotels and
> some businesses in the area. The land is otherwise vacant in many
> places while the Union Pacific railroad is selling land once used as
> railyards for new development. Other than the newer buildings, most
> of the remaining buildings in the area are vacant. It was
> disconcerting to the girls at first to stay where we did and they
> called it the "ghetto" because of the rundown, abandoned factories and
> warehouses. The Qwest Conference Center is located in this area and
> the City of Omaha has created a nice gateway to this part of the city
> which will eventually develop in the old Union Pacific yards near the
> Qwest Center.
