Welcome to South Omaha, the ‘Magic City’
I
n 2016 SOBA will celebrate 94
years of service to the South
Omaha business community. Its
mission to preserve the diversity,
heritage and economic vitality of the
community is creating a legacy of
unprecedented and sustained growth,
earning South Omaha the title of the
“Magic City” during its early years.
Anchored by the iconic Tree of Life
sculpture at the intersection of 24th
and L Streets, the Streetscape Project symbolizes the rich tapestry woven 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 31th 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 surrounding region in a fiesta environment of parades, carnivals, ethnic
foods, live entertainment and children’s activities.
The Holiday Lights Festival is now
in its fifth year in South Omaha. In
early December the trees and building tops along 24th Street between
L and Q streets are illuminated with
hundreds of glowing lights. The festival 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
membership 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 invitation to join us. Visit our website —
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
C
oasting is not South Omaha’s style,
and we’ve proven that over the
last 12 months. we’ve cut the ribbons on new “mom and pop” businesses;
our community centers are flourishing
with increased activity for youth and
adults; our youth soccer and baseball
leagues have taken on a new look with
PACE (Police Athletics for Community
Engagement); and partnerships among
our faith, business, neighborhood and
civic groups continue to develop.
Born and raised in South Omaha,
my parents instilled in me the drive of
public service and the motto of “help
people learn how to help themselves.”
I’ve devoted 45 years so far to doing just
that. During that time, I met a man who
penned “A Neighbor’s Code of Ethics,”
which truly sums up what leaders should
be advocating in their neighborhoods to
achieve a good quality of life:
• Feel good about your own property,
respect your neighbor’s.
• Inside your home is your space. The
space outside your home is shared with
your neighbors.
• Your trees should grow tall. Your
grass should not.
• Make trash & junk short-lived. They
do not get better with age.
8
• Litter is like a smudge on your face.
Clean it.
• Your home is attached to the ground.
The ground is part of the city. The city
has a right to set ground rules. Follow
the rules.
• You do not have to live with your
neighbors, just next to them. Make it a
comfortable relationship.
• “Hi” is only a two-letter word. Easy
to say. Nice to hear.
• Control your pets. Your neighbor
will appreciate that extra bit of work.
• Take pride in your neighborhood. It
will feel right!
My thanks to Jim Thompson for the
wise words and being a good neighbor.
We continue to be proud of what we’ve
accomplished: new schools, renovated
parks, improving our infrastructure,
building partnerships, promoting new
businesses, and keeping air clean and
our community safe. Let’s forge on!

About SOBA
A brief history
On March 29, 1922, the
business people of South
Omaha incorporated the
South Omaha Merchants
Association with the following purpose:
“The object and purpose
for which this Association is organized and the
business in which it shall
be engaged shall be the
promotion of the government, 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, Nebraska.”
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
uses 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 entrepreneurial energy and ambition
remain the bedrock of business old and new.
Mission statement
To preserve the diversity, heritage and economic
vitality of the community of South Omaha.
Hometown banking right
here in the neighborhood.

Tree of Life
O
ne of the
most popular
streetscape features 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 symbolism to the medallions,
there are seven images
that repeat at different
sizes. The images represent 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 Mexican
design.
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.

outh 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 resolution to create the South
Omaha Business Improvement 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 general
focus for growth and improvements in the district.
This is a great step forward
in strengthening 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 property owners — saw
the district’s greatest strengths
as its history, location, restaurants, diversity, business
growth and opportunities to
attract new businesses.

A great place to be
Some negatives that were
revealed included a negative
public perception 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 communicated a
distinctive Latino flavor while
respecting 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 planters that
pay homage to the cultures of
South Omaha. 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

host, to numerous festivals, including the Holiday
Lights Festival and Cinco

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.

A great place to be
By taking a walking
tour of the district, visitors can take their time
to gaze at these lively
and colorful tributes.
More evidence of 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

History of South Omaha
S
outh 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 businessmen and a prominent cattleman, 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.
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.
Built in 1906 in the neoclassical style, the South Omaha City Hall at 24th
and F Streets still stands today.

The stockyards were
a big draw for new immigrants and their descendants, who were in search of
jobs.
1885 brought the city’s
first Independence Day
celebration. It was held on
24th Street between J and K
Streets in what was called
Kavan’s Garden.
In 1886, with a population
of 1,500, the area reached
village status.
In the village at that time
were a post office, a deputy
sheriff and a justice of the
peace. There also were three
general stores, four meat
markets, five hotels and two
lumberyards among the
many new businesses that
served the rapidly growing
South Omaha population.
The original South Omaha library opened in 1905 at 23rd and M Streets.

Churches came along as the
city grew, first was a Methodist, then Baptist, Presbyterian and Catholic. 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 amazing
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.

The Magic City
struggled 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 proposal.
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 overwhelmingly supported the
consolidation, despite a
strong no vote from South
Omaha, and the Magic
City was officially
annexed by Omaha.

W
hat is the significance of
the fifth of May in Mexican history?
Outside of Mexico, Cindo de
Mayo (translated: 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 independent
nation for more than 40 years
and enduring a series of external
and internal conflicts, Mexico
was heavily in debt to Spain,
England and France. France was
attempting to expand its empire
and claimed the outstanding debt
as justification 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
marching toward Mexico
City. On May 5, 1862,
they were met in Puebla
and defeated by Mexican
General Ignacio Zaragoza and a poorly-armed
but courageous band of
4,500 Mexican soldiers.
Although the French later
returned with thousands
of additional troops and
gained control of Mexico
for a short period of time,
the victory at the battle of
Puebla continues to hold
special
significance in Mexican
history.

Holiday Lights Festival
S
outh 24th Street will again be aglow as part of
the Holiday Lights Festival, thanks to a generous donation from the Sherwood Foundation.
This is a wonderful chance to showcase the
beauty of South 24th Street, as the lights will draw
thousands of people to the area during the holiday
season.
We would appreciate your support again this
year.
Lights will be installed starting the last week of
October by Christmas Decor. Workers will be on the
rooftops along 24th Street during this time; please
note that Christmas Decor carries its own liability
insurance.
The lights will be turned on Friday, Nov. 27, at 6
p.m. and will stay lit during the evening until Jan. 3.
There is no fee for the rooftop lights or installation
— again, the entire project has been paid for by the
Sherwood Foundation. All that is needed from business owners, is permission for Chris Stangle from
Christmas Decor to access building rooftops. Chris
will be in touch to introduce himself and arrange
installation times.
