Minne Lusa
The Minne Lusa Residential Historic District is located in North Omaha, Nebraska. It is included on the National Register of Historic Places. According to the National Park Service, it is an "example of a substantial, affordable single-family residential development within the city limits that was platted, developed and constructed by a single firm between 1915 and 1941." The neighborhood is filled with bungalows, Craftsman, and other styles that were popular in the era.
The district's boundaries are Vane Street on the north and Redick Avenue on the south; North 24th Street on the east and North 30th Street on the west. It is located just north of the Miller Park neighborhood, and just south of Florence and includes all of the area originally known as the Minne Lusa Addition. There are 540 properties in the neighborhood that contribute to the historic district, the other 167 do not. Minne Lusa Boulevard is a contributing structure.
History
According to the Omaha Public Library, "Minne Lusa" comes from a Native American word of unknown origins that means "clear water". The Minne Lusa Pumping Station was built at the Florence Water Works north of the area in 1899. Presumably the neighborhood, established 17 years later, took its name from that.

Love You Enough
by: Mona LisaVERSE 1:
If somebody told you that you didn't need me
Tell me would you deceive me
And throw our relationship down the drain
If some other wanted you to use you as another
If that's the case then baby you'd discover
That I will not waste my time
So tell me did you think that you could start to fool me
Did you know that you could mess around and lose me
When I displayed all my trust in you
I don't wanna hear the lies you try to pass as true confession
I'd rather start by teaching you this lesson
It's better to lose what you never had
CHORUS:
So if you feel you've had enough then maybe we should just be friends
I love you enough boy to give you up I guess it's time to call it quits
In your rain don't call on me
I love you enough boy to set you free
I love you enough boy to set you free
VERSE 2:
And even my mother said she didn't trust you as my lover
And then you had the nerve to front my brother
When he was just trying to protect my heart
So here we are have to sit around and talk about it
Trying to find solutions but I doubt it
Cause I can do bad all by myself
And when somebody asks you why the finger points at you
You better tell them the truth
CHORUS OUT (with adlibs)
