Omaha mural


Found some information today online at www.omahamuralproject.org about this large mural that was located just north of the Old Mattress Factory in Omaha. Very impressive, and something that we could easily make out from the pedestrian bridge over the river, which was easily a couple hundred yards away.

Energy Systems Company
The 70-foot tall, 328-foot long east wall of the Energy Systems building at 13th and Webster Streets is the canvas for Fertile Ground. "It almost never happens that someone comes to tell you that they want to enhance your property with no strings attached," Energy Systems senior vice president Dan Markham explained. "And all we had to do was step back and allow them room to work so that our building could become the center of attention in a major civic project that will mean so much to the NoDo area and to the rest of Omaha. Energy Systems is proud to be the home of Fertile Ground.”
