8zk pleasure trip because of the
out OF the way route neceS-
sary and the rough billy
country that had to be ira
versed Plattsmouth is brought within
twenty miles of Omaha while Nebraska
City is but fifty miles away.
Starting from Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets
in Omaha one travels directly south on Twenty
fourth street, through South Omaha and Albright
turning then to the east and going over the newly
constructed boulevard system and through the in
terestins old town of Bellevue From Bellevue
the route lays due south over level country
into La Platte. AT this point one turns toward
the south and west and soon finds himself at the
bridge From La Platte to the bridge, at the pres
ent time, the road that will eventually be used is
not OPEN 1t lies within sight of the temporary
road, and several crews of workmen may be seen
busy in its construction.
AT the south end of the bridge is beautiful FIVE
room bungalow, constructed for the use of the
bridge caretaker and where, at later date numer-
Gus Omaha parties will probably take chicken din
ner while on interesting trips to towns south of here
short drive after crossing the river lands one
in Plattsmouth, and one who has never been there
pretty little town now only twenty miles to the
south 1t has good hotels to stop at and at which
to dine, and Immediately surrounding it are some
delightful places for suburban homes for Omahans.
Two OF Plattsmouths leading citizens Mr.. Falter
and Mr. 10 lock- have interested themselves in
bringing is section to the attention of Omahans
as a suburban home proposition. Situated on the
main lines of the Missouri Pacific and Burlington
routes 1t has dozen or express trains daily and
by road is only nineteen miles away, thus enabling
persons to spend the day with their business I'm
Omaha and in few minutes reach PIattsmouth by
by rail- or better still, enjoy refreshing motor ride
to their homes. Plattsmouth will some day. in the
near future, become suburban home for Omaha
business men, and then its property values will
raise, reaping good harvest for those who were
foresishted and bought before the raise. This same
thing has happened in metropolitan cities through
out the country and Omaha will not always remain
an exception. Hundreds of business men of Chi
cago and other large cities live fifty andsixty miles
from their business, going to and fro daily.
Leaving PlattSmouth one drives south into
Nebraska City. Motorists are not generally familiar
with the size and importance of Nebraska City. In
this pretty place is to be found some of Nebraskas
Oldest homes and most distinguished families. The
famous Morton monument, one of the most beau
tiful in the country, is in the city. Men who have
since become powers in the financial world spent
their boyhood days in this old town. Several motor
parties have planned to drive to PlattSmouth today
and, no doubt, the present mild weather will make
this route as popular and we'll known with motor
lists as the rest of the familiar drives out of Omaha
Kansas City is reached. distance of about two
hundred and twenty miles via Auburn. Falls City
