Or maybe some antique carbide lamps are more our speed? Yes…we’re going on a little caving expedition. Magnifying glasses or Wayfarers are usually a must but today, today of all days, we’ll all need a good flashlight. Do you have a trench coat, perchance? Are you prone to wearing the collar up day or night? Do you like to lurk around puzzling brick buildings, searching for hidden ghost signs or do you have an obsession with delightful manhole covers, secret, overgrown gardens and their ivy-covered mansions? Oh, you say you’ve even got a dark fedora? Good…this is looking good. If this is your first visit to My Omaha Obsession and you would like to go on a stakeout with us, then this is the perfect moment to welcome you. So Neither of Us needs worry, really.īut the Rest of Us, I assure you, are in like-minded company, although so many gathered here no longer actually reside in Omaha. If it bores you to walk round Omaha’s streets, peer in the windows of glorious homes and mysterious buildings (even if just from your computer) and try to infer all of the whos and whats in the whodunit, you will long ago have chucked this whole bit aside. My Omaha Obsession-as you may by now have gathered-is not really a blog at all it is only a long walk round our Omaha streets, through the years.
