Douglas County: The Soundtrack of Blackstone's Revival

In this episode, hosts Alysia Stubblefield and Alaina Tomesh delve into the vibrant Blackstone District in Omaha's Douglas County. They uncover the rich history of the area and how it became a hub of activity, home to a mix of businesses. But it's not just about commerce—it's about community. Alysia and Alaina explain how the Second Saturday, a monthly event celebrating local businesses, artists, and musicians within the Blackstone District, promotes more than just commerce—it promotes creativity and community building. Join us as we uncover the stories behind the businesses and musicians shaping the Blackstone District, only on 93 Counties.
