A Day in Omaha

We started the day looking for the apartment where Carl lived when he first arrived in Omaha. We not only found it (in fact, he drove right to it!), but we found the neighborhood bar where he hung out -- Grover's Inn. We went in, had a Bloody Mary and visited with the owners. On to the SAC (Strategic Air Command, where Carl worked) Museum and then to Stella's for one of their world famous burgers. When Carl lived here, Stella still made the burgers; the diner is still owned by a family member and they still make burgers the way Stella did!

We were successful in finding the other places Carl lived and then went to another of his famous haunts, the Dundee Dell for dinner. A great trip down memory lane for Carl and he was thrilled to share this part of his history with me!
