It takes a lot of courage to step out and start ones own business. But the people who are willing to do so – and the people who are willing to frequent those businesses – are the people who help to make local communities richer, better places to live.  Today, I would like to give a shout out to just some of the small businesses from Omaha and surrounding towns that have brought good to our area.
