Speaking of Papillion... they seem to be picking up steam on their streetscape work... supposed to be done in time for 'Papillion Days' (June 15).

It would be nice if they would also start removing some of that ugly metal plating they installed in the 50's/60's to obscure the otherwise beautiful brick facade of several of downtown Papillion's buildings.
