Council Bluffs: Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park

Two really unique things about this River Edge park in Iowa, the big tall alien.  It is actually called a humanoid.  It is 33 feet tall.  Sculpted by Tom Friedman.  It is title "Looking Up."  The other thing is the pelican themed playground.  Charity's kids like this, especially Owen.

welcome to Bellevue: Restaurant Review: Don and Millie's

Image
 Don and Millies is a local fast food restaurant.  I noticed something for sale called a Frenchee.  I did not get one, but I did get the loaded potato soup advertised.  The soup was the high light for me.  I also had a hamburger, onion rings and a shake.  The shake was good, the hamburger just so-so and the onion rings fine.  I wish I had tried a Frenchee.  I looked them up online afterward and discovered it is a breaded, deep fried cheese sandwich.  That sounds good. Don and Millie's is a bit pricey.  They are located on Cornhusker almost at the corner with 25th. I returned to Don Millies and got Tony a hamburger meal.  I had the Frenchee.  I was very impressed.  I like the crunchy outside and the gooey cheese inside.  Sheri tried it and was not impressed.  Tony would not try it.
