still features a TV - only now it's a flatscreen.
I've been to the Omaha Press Club dozens of times: for meetings, lunch and even Bridget and Jon's wedding reception. Heck, I was a member for years (both from a corporate and journalist standpoint).
But yesterday was the first time I had been to the club since it underwent extensive remodeling. It sits on the top floor of the old First National Bank building, 22 stories above Downtown Omaha.
For those of you who have not been there, it offers beautiful views of the riverfront and points farther into Council Bluffs and beyond. Here's a few photos from my guest lunch with the OPC communications committee.
Looking east toward Council Bluffs. The large buildingin the foreground is the Omaha World-Herald's Freedom Center
printing building. Behind it is the Qwest Center.
The main fireplace looks the same. But you can no longer smoke by it.
Bridget looks over a magazine in one of the side rooms.Note the "Faces on the Barroom Floors" on the walls.
The view of the Woodman Tower is to the south.
Looking north, you can see the Civic Auditorium.
