Check out these pics of Omaha, Nebraska's Old Market.

Imagine if we calmed traffic on York and Cannon and developed an urban district with this type of feel. Vine Street, McNab, James, John, etc. - the east/west corridor along York/Wilson and Cannon has some great old buildings and former homes.
Unfortunately it is a freeway through this stretch. Strange how businesses don't just pop up and thrive on our downtown mega-highways.

It seems as if urban restoration is a common sight these days. Im not sure if Omaha ever had a city sprawl problem though, like Kansas City does, although people are moving back. Nice looking market place. I like how they never pulled up the brick streets there for asphault.
