Millard was its own town, and it still has its own school district, which tells you how seriously the southwest side takes the name. The older avenue near 132nd is mostly national brands now. The walkable local cluster is a few blocks away, at 138th.
Sgt. Peffer's, The Corner Kick, El Taco Loco, Addy's, Shirley's Diner, and Shandy's Bakery make a loop you can do between a game and a slice of cake.
Call it the 138th stroll. It is the corner where Millard still eats close to home.

The story
Millard began as a railroad town in the 1870s, named for a Union Pacific figure, and grew independently southwest of Omaha for nearly a century. The City of Omaha annexed Millard in 1971, but the area kept its own identity and its separate Millard Public Schools district, one of the largest in Nebraska. The historic core near 132nd Street and Millard Avenue still marks the old town center, now surrounded by decades of residential and commercial growth. Today Millard is a large, family-oriented part of Omaha rather than a compact walkable district.
