Faturday Omaha

Tim and Lisa Trudell The Walking Tourists

Time to stroll with Lisa and Tim Trudell otherwise known as the Walking Tourists. I became acquainted with Tim and Lisa through their books 100 Things to Do In Omaha Before you Die and of course Unique Eats and Eateries of Omaha. We talk about their work adventuring and authoring in and around our fair city as well as outside of the metro. They also have an upcoming book focused on preserving the history of our Omaha restaurants which have been a part of our lives from daily lunches or maybe a special celebration. Conversation is afoot on this walk with the Walking Tourists.
