Omaha's historic Dundee neighborhood was developed in 1880 and was Omaha's first suburb. Dundee has the distinction of having been bombed in WWII. A Japnese incendiary balloon detonated above Dundee in 1945, but did little damage. Nevertheless, a plaque on Underwood Avenue a few yards west of 50th street marks the spot. The Dundee area includes Memorial Park, which has a World War II memorial and a Vietnam/Korean War memorial

Dundee has an active neighborhood association, http://www.dundee-memorialpark.org/, which does a lot to develop pride in the community. Dundee's pride is reflected in the flower baskets hung on every neighborhood light pole and maintained by the residents. It is reflected in the reproduction chiming clock (top left) purchased by merchants and donors. The clock proudly stands on the intersection of 50th and Underwood Streets, the hub of commercial hub of Dundee. The "Streetcar Wall," was built as a memorial to Omaha's streetcars (no longer existing) by the Association with the help of the city.

The unique, Moorish Castle style Elmwood Park pavilion is sometimes used for weddings and family gatherings. It was built in 1890 and is nicely preserved and maintained. The pavilion has lights, a concrete floor, a fireplace, restrooms, and running water. Seating is provided at long picnic tables.

All of these Dundee scenes are represented in Armand's elegant line drawings in this card set and prints.
