"I started Irish dancing when I moved here from Louisiana in third grade. I don't have any Irish background, but my cousins were dancing at the dance studio, so my mom wanted me to get involved with people, so she signed me up. I like how it's different from other dances, it's more footwork, and you...

December 20, 2018
Lion’s Mane vintage in the heart of Benson, is one of the cutest vintage stores Omaha has to offer. Starting off with visuals, the store has an adorable aesthetic. I found most of the ‘vintage’ pieces to be more-retro compared to other Omaha vintage stores. This store felt vintage, full of old, versatile pieces. Solid vintage stores are hard to come by, given most of them find their pieces at thrift stores and raise the prices. Lion’s Man...
