Podcast: Frankenstein Friday

We talk with Ron MacCloskey, founder of Frankenstein Friday and The Franky Awards.

This holiday has been designed to honor and celebrate the “mother” and “father” of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley and Boris Karloff. Every year a different venue is used to celebrate the occasion. In years past it has included a torchlighting ceremony, film festival and awarding of THE FRANKY.

Lincoln Highway the Way It Was: Tiny stretch of bricks keeps Omaha suburb alive

Folks doing business in historic downtown Elkhorn know that they are in the midst of a much larger city, having been annexed by the City of Omaha a couple years ago. But they still have their brick streets in the mingle of quaint restaurants and shops as well as one of the most pristine remnants of the old Lincoln Highway – in the original brick and narrow lanes. It has sparked a neighborhood revival.

Leona Anderson of Little Scandinavia from Elkhorn joins us to talk about it in this “Journey into Nebraska”.
