Where's Coyote?

OK, Ladies and Gents
Time to play your favorite game and mine
What and where in the metro is this building?

projectman · Post by **projectman** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 1:47 am

Don't have a clue.

It appears to be a school house in C.B.

Puducah, KY or Peru, Nebraska?

Old school in Irvington

Old school in Irvington is my guess too.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 7:55 pm

Yes, Greenbuilder (in NW Omaha) is correct.
It is the Old Irvington School.
I haven't seen it listed anywhere as a historic building.
Does anyone know when it was built and occupied as a school.
It now houses the Stofferahn Appraisal Services.

No idea but it was not that long ago that it was still used as a school. I played a basketball game there in grade school in the early 80's when I went to St. James/Seton.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 2:52 am

I live right by St James, and see this building all of the time, but I never would have guessed it.

Coyote, is this a game we can play often?

This is very near to St Peffers or even closer to the new Mother's resturant and Homey Inn. You get the idea.

Post by **Brad** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 4:43 am

correct

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 11:07 pm

OK - this time its: From where is Coyote shooting Omaha ?

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 12:51 am

Fontenelle?

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 12:54 am

That was my guess but google didn't show a tall enough structure down there.

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 1:34 am

Aha! I looked through a gazillion digital photo files, dating back to my Sony Mavica days... and finally found this...

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 1:38 am

Jeff wins! Yes - my S.O. and I took a walk at Fontenelle today.
The first photo I posted I thought was too easy:

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 1:41 am

That's a fantastic photo Mark! You must have a pretty decent zoom capability... obviously my old Mavica had NOTHING! I need to renew my membership and get back out there.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 1:49 am

I renewed mine today. The colors this fall are going to be fantasticly unbelievable! Please visit Fontenelle. I found out today that their visit numbers determine how many Interstate exit signs they can request.

Simply wonderful photography Coyote..A Nice skyline perspective..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Coyote, regarding the former Irvington Elementary, it closed at the end of the school year in 1980.

I took the family here a couple of weeks ago, but we could not figure out what the building is to the right in this photo??? Anyone know? I didn't think that any of the casino's were this tall, so we really couldn't guess...

Old St. Joseph hospital, is it not?

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 3:35 pm

Yes - and now it is St. Joseph's Assisted Living 10th and Martha.
I had a Great Aunt there a while back and wanted to get a picture from up there - wish I would have.

ladyred · Post by **ladyred** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 8:57 pm

Hey you are in my old stomping grounds I was DON there for awhile.
I loved the view from the top of the building I would go up there and eat my lunch sometimes.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:51 pm

Ladyred, you worked there and never invited me up to shoot pictures? Geesh.

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:05 pm

From the Dahlman Neigborhood website...

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:08 pm

Dang.

I need to adopt a resident there for a day.

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 12:43 am

Whoa nice big shot. Shows some nice density.

ladyred · Post by **ladyred** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 1:33 am

Well I am sure that they would allow you to do some nice volunteer work.

The veiw is great it was the deciding factor in me taking that job.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 1:44 am

Yeah - I would - but I am allergic to bedpans.
Do they have a rooftop garden?

ladyred · Post by **ladyred** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 3:02 am

No garden but there are tables and chairs up there. It is all fenced in though. The view is much better from the room than out on the actual building.

I happen to know there are plenty of volunteer things you could do there without touching a bed pan.. They have people come in and sing all of the time... maybe you could do that ??? Or you could just sign up to help with the weekly dine out.
Maybe to Denkers bar? That was always a big hit when I was there.

I've been there for a wedding. I'm pretty sure it's Hummel Park.

Post by **Brad** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:32 pm

The Nebraska Side of Carter lake.

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:40 pm

Yeah you're right Brad.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 3:01 pm

Yes, Brad is right - this is in Levi Carter Park.
I'll have to find something visible but harder next time.
I was there to shoot an angle of Omaha that is difficult to take because of the sun:

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 3:16 pm

I have some from there but that grain elevator was to much in the way.
