The Omaha Arcade
In architectural discussions with various property owners around the square, a significant number have expressed interest in a particular feature known as the Omaha Arcade.
The appeal is easy to understand. It's no secret that Blakely, like any town in the south, offers some intense heat and sun at certain times during the year. The arcade is a response to such climates, providing a wood and metal extension from building fronts, attached between the first and second story, that shades the sidewalk.
The result, especially in conjunction with wider sidewalks, is a cooler and more flexible space - perfect for outdoor dining, ceiling fans, interesting signage and all manner of retail decoration.
