Mike's "Moo"

The South Omaha Stock Exchange Building is very different than it was even ten years ago, and the area surrounding it is nothing like it was when I was in high school.  When walking around the grounds, however, I can still hear the faint "mooing" of the cows that were in pens surrounding this building.
Even in 1980, the parking for this building was in a garage across the street where the basement level were cow pens.  It was not uncommon for a wedding party to celebrate in the lavish ballrooms on the top floors, while being surrounded by thousands of cows who were soon to meet their doom as a tasty steak!

I loved driving past there when it was just a sea of cow pens and that one huge building sticking up out of them.
