The scent of buttery popcorn fills the gallerylike lobby
of this member-supported art house. Cinephiles make a
night of it by grabbing a glass of vino at the concession
before catching an indie, foreign or classic film.

T’S hard to imagine that Omaha’s lively
North Downtown neighborhood — or
NoDo, as it’s known locally — was nothing
but abandoned rail yards five years ago. Hugging the Missouri River, the area thrived as
early as the 1860s as Union Pacific’s transportation hub, before a merger sent the company
packing in the 1980s. Since then, the land had
sat relatively untouched — until developers,
taking cues from artists who reclaimed the
warehouses as cheap studios, started pumping money back into the area. Now, the new
TD AmeriTrade Park (currently hosting the
N.C.A.A. Men’s College World Series) and national chains like Urban Outfitters sit alongside locally owned clubs, bars and boutiques,
making it a new cultural town square.

This showroom-cum-gallery opened last August in
the Mastercraft building, a
creative campus for artcentric businesses. Jessica
McKay showcases an array
of classic and modern
treasures, like a 1970s armchair reupholstered with
contemporary fabric
