Beth and Jeremiah Jansen’s Tomlinson Woods home is a bit of a paradox. On the exterior, the 1985-built modern design residence is neutral and serene; its khaki-hued wood siding, ’80s brick façade, and wrap-around deck blend effortlessly with the mature trees, shade-friendly perennials, and winding lanes within the quiet, upscale west Omaha neighborhood, also a designated arboretum.

But one step inside the foyer, a visitor perusing the open-concept living and dining room is hard-pressed not to exclaim “Wow” at the scene.

Some meals stay with you long after the plates are cleared—not because the food was extravagant, but because, for a few hours, everything else fell away. You were fully present. You learned something new, and shared a table with people who arrived as strangers and left feeling like familiar company.

After attending a couple of Heirloom Fine Foods cooking classes, I understood why so many people return again and again. Yes, we cooked. Yes, we ate well. But somewhere between the chopping and stirring, it became clear that Shelley Elson-Roza had built something more meaningful than a culinary program. She’s cultivating an elevated way of living.

Over the last 20 years, the restaurant scene in Omaha has grown at a pace that probably only trails new car washes and dental offices. Even with that growth, there has been a hole in the market, particularly in West Omaha, for local mom-and-pop places. Much like a former Nebraska I-back, Jeff Gorat recognized that gap in the defense and decided to fill it last September with J. Gorat’s Deli & Market.

The EDGE District is a relatively new endeavor, officially unveiled in October 2024. Led by the University of Nebraska Medical Center and supported by strategic public-private partnerships, its stated mission is to cultivate collaboration, innovation, and economic growth by nurturing a vibrant ecosystem of people, places, and programs that unite academia, healthcare, industry, and the broader community. Its name is an acronym for Explore-Develop-Grow-Engage.

“It’s important to Omaha,” said UNMC Chancellor Dr. H. Dele Davies. “It’s really allowing Omaha to not lose companies that they would otherwise have lost to other cities where they have infrastructure built…it allows us to not only keep these companies here, but also to attract other companies, national players who want to be here to interact with researchers.”

With the exception of the 2018 and 2020 iterations, which were canceled due to weather and the pandemic, Porchfest OMA, as it’s branded, has been held in the Gifford Park neighborhood near 33rd and California streets every year since 2017. Much like the community garden that sits nearby, it blossomed into a multifaceted event that features poetry, comedy, art, dance, a b**r garden, food vendors, fun family activities, and, of course, music. Lots of music. On Oct. 4, more than 90 acts will be spread across 13 porches—and 39 of those are musical acts.

Follow them at Porchfest OMA for more information.

Artificial intelligence is fueling an unprecedented boom in data center construction.

For environmental reporter Anila Yoganathan, who covers Nebraska for Flatwater Free Press and Grist, the once-niche real estate story has grown into one of the country’s most pressing concerns at the intersection of economic development, infrastructure, and natural resources.

Nebraska City’s Mayhew Cabin was the first Nebraska site named to the National Park Service’s Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Trail. The trail brings to life a segment of localized American history that few Nebraskans know.

Named in honor of its owners, Allen and Barbara Mayhew, the cabin served as a resting spot for freed slaves, who traveled from as far away as southwest Missouri, said Doug Kreifels, treasurer of the Mayhew Cabin Foundation.

The Mayhew Cabin is open on select weekends and holidays. However, private visits can be arranged on their website.
