Four other UNMC programs are also ranked, and our outreach efforts continue to lead the way toward better health care in rural areas. Yet, we accept the challenge that more must be done. It is this relentless pursuit of excellence in education, research and care that draws people – faculty, physicians, staff, students and patients alike – to us from across the country and around the world.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE www.midtownbusinessassociation.org
Advocating for a healthy Midtown business community MBA has grown significantly and I am excited to continue our mission of advocating a healthy midtown business community. Our recent growth will enable us to better serve our members and the stakeholders in the community. If you are new to MBA, welcome! We advocate for our membership, giving them a voice in maintaining and improving our area. Over our 30-year history, we’ve cultivated a good working relationship and an open dialogue with local government officials. MBA involvement has been as simple as graffiti abatement, or much more complex, such as working with the city and state to help close down problem businesses. Midtown is one of the most established parts of Omaha; around 30,000 people call it home. It only makes sense that hundreds of businesses – from sole proprietor to Fortune 500 – choose to locate here. Midtown Crossing, UNMC, The Nebraska Medical Center, Creighton and dozens of small business/nonprofit entities have invested heavily in the area. We encourage our members and stakeholders to give preference with their commerce to MBA members. In many cases, those business owners live here and the dollars spent have a higher likelihood of staying in the area. We as a board believe that healthy neighborhoods enable healthy businesses, and vice versa. For years, MBA has also supported the Integrated Learning Program, an OPS school formerly known as Yates. Please join us for one of our nine public lunches every year – where we bring in speakers to discuss topics closely related to our members – or one of our quarterly networking events. All of our upcoming events are listed on our website, www.MidtownBusinessAssociation.org. While you’re there, click the “Join” tab and become a member. Whether you are interested in joining, listening to one of our monthly speakers, or are in need of a grant to improve a property, we’d love to meet you! Craig Carlson – MBA President

HISTORY OF THE MBA www.midtownbusinessassociation.org
Preservation and improvement began more than 30 years ago Things were looking sub-par in the neighborhood and there was concern that the Midtown area was going downhill — falling apart. In August 1980, at the encouragement of Clarkson Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, a small group of merchants got together to see if something could be done to spruce up the neighborhood and save

the area from Park Avenue to 52nd Street, Leavenworth Street to Cuming Street. Clarkson Hospital hired Warren Johnson to be the organizer, coordinator and all-around handyman of the MedCenter Merchants Association. He operated out of a boiler room at Clarkson. The first order of business of the newly formed Association was to urge various companies to spruce up their property. Plaques were given to acknowledge the efforts of those who did property improvements. This practice continues to this day with the Neighborhood Improvement Awards. In the early days, the group brought sack lunches to noon-hour meetings at Arlon Miller’s office on Farnam Street, between 39th and 40th Streets.

GRINN & BARRETT TATTOO When Jen Beirola purchased the former post office at 3021 Leavenworth St., the property had been abandoned for more than five years. It had become a dumping ground and hangout for people trying to remain hidden from the street. The roof needed replacement, many windows were in bad shape and the basement looked like something out of a scary movie. Jen tore down the suspended ceiling to reveal a 14-foot-high original tin ceiling that was in remarkably good condition. She refinished the wood floors and kept the original glass block windows. The most interesting change to the location was to add a large vintage style neon sign rescued from a local salvage yard. The sign had previously been used at the Circle J Hotel in Villisca, Iowa. The handpainting was restored with the help of an old school sign painter from Las Vegas.

Legend Comics and Legend Coffee opened in 2011, and J Coco opened in March 2012. Since the building is on the National Registry of Historic Places it was of utmost importance to respect the integrity of the space which added extra challenges to the renovation project.

The entire interior was tastefully redecorated to reflect the beauty of the building and complement the types of businesses now housed in the space. Tom Simmons from Gold Coast Real Estate is dedicated to continuing to enhance the Leavenworth Neighborhood area and believes that the restoration of the historic Wohlner’s Grocery Building is a major step in the right direction.

In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees. Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals. *Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

he site of the Admiral Theater was considered to be fairly far-flung when it opened in 1942 at 144 S. 40th St. A few blocks to the east, some of the city’s most wealthy residents had built grand houses around the turn of the century within the highly fashionable Gold Coast area. By the 1940s the area around the theater was a solid Omaha neighborhood with a healthy mix of people living in comfortable apartments, middle-class homes and mansions. In 1957, the Admiral held the Nebraska-Iowa premiere of “Around the World in 80 Days” as a benefit for Children’s Hospital. “Fiddler on the Roof” played there for 11 months, and most of the James Bond movies played there, too. Later, the Admiral became widely known for

The theater closed in 1983, and remained vacant. The building continued to deteriorate and became unsafe — an eyesore. A 1993 plan to develop the corner into apartments eventually fell through, and fundraising began to tear down the theater. In 1996 the MedCenter Merchants Association (now Midtown Business Association) raised funds from members to donate to the city and help pay the cost of tearing down the building. Local businesses wanted the site to be returned to a good use but felt the building needed to be demolished to prevent further vandalism and deterioration. Due to the generosity of its membership, in January 1997 the long-awaited demolition began. Mayor Hall Daub was the first to use the wrecking ball. .
The Admiral Theater in 1990, vacant for several years, had become an unsafe eyesore in Midtown. A 1993 plan to turn the block into apartments fell apart, and the theater was torn down in January 1997.

art of advocating for a healthy midtown business community includes supporting education and school programs. The Midtown Business Association is proud to support the Integrated Learning Program (ILP). Located on the Druid Hill School Campus at 3030 Spaulding St., the diverse student population includes students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The ILP provides a specialized program for students with behavioral disorders who are referred to the program from classrooms throughout the school district. While the school — formerly Yates School — is slightly north of the MBA boundary, we have continued See page 32

our support since the school’s relocation from 32nd and Davenport in 2008. Two school events, the Spring Fling and Fall Festival, are sponsored by the MBA. “Our primary support for the school is providing food, grills, and manpower to cook for a couple hundred kids and their families,” said Craig Carlson, MBA president. The MBA also donates a children’s book to the school monthly. Each book is signed by the speaker at the general meeting, helping grow the schools library. “We couldn’t do this without them,” said Sandy Bender, director of the ILP. “We certainly couldn’t do as much with our families without their support.” The MBA also makes sure to have a member present at the school’s graduation ceremony each year. The MBA has also been invited to judge the school’s poetry competitions. This year the MBA helped promote the school by sponsoring a billboard that featured a student’s artwork.
The Midtown Business Association is an AdoptA-School Partner with the Integrated Learning Program. This year, the school participated in the Omaha Public Schools Youth Art Month, where the art of one of the students was posted on a billboard for all to see (facing page). The Midtown Business Association helped sponsor the board, which is located at 31st and Leavenworth Streets on top of the Alamar Uniform building.

customers. Individuals who attend the meetings are able to network with others, with the potential of creating additional business opportunities. One of the best advantages of attending a networking event are the tours provided to attendees. The tours usually take people to the “back areas” of the business, places that typical customers do not normally see, such as the bowling lanes at the Joslyn Castle and the yard at Forest Green.
PAST EVENTS Some of the past networking event locations include: SPRUCE Interiors and Gifts Forest Green Joslyn Castle Breeze Cycle State Farm Iwen Exposures Central Body Habitat for Humanity

CASH MOBS The MBA networking team has recently incorporated “Cash Mobs” into its calendar of other networking events. These Cash Mobs allow a business to offer a reduction in cost for an item. In return, MBA members attend the event, creating a business and networking opportunity for all attendees. The first Cash Mob was scheduled for Cantina Laredo in October. When a person mentioned the MBA during the allotted time the restaurant offered free avocado dip and queso to the attendee. Check the MBA website for upcoming Cash Mob locations.
