I had some free time this evening, so I decided to drive down to Bellevue to see if there were any interesting running trails near their Olde Towne area.

It was my first time to Olde Towne, and I'll be honest, it was nothing like I expected. It was a very run down looking bit of Bellevue with no stores that I was interested in enough to park and walk around. I expected a cute little commercial district with boutiques or nice little stores, and what I found was a bike store, a coin shop, an old theater, an antique store, and a Mexican restaurant. From what I could see, it is a very tiny bit of Ward 1, and probably not the priority of most the citizens of Bellevue. It is just a few blocks that have seen better days.
I also took a look at political signs in the grass, and there were quite a few. Most of them seemed to be for Scott Houghtaling and Steven Carmichael. I did not see any for Steve Dawes.
Unfortunately, I did not find a good running trail and ended up back in Omaha for my evening run. I did end up paying 2 dollars for the Bellevue toll bridge (1 dollar each way) when I took a wrong turn.
