When I'm not in Omaha, I miss the people. Omaha has a very unusual culture, not something you would notice at first, but when visiting other Midwestern cities, there is just something less genuine about the way people interact. Leave a Comment

...not talk about the Huskers. I've lived in Nebraska for 21 years, seriously don't like the Huskers because of their fans. They'll comit suicide if the Huskers lose a game. Quote Husker fan, 'Huskers lose one game, they're the worst team in the country.' (Doesn't matter if they're 11-1)
Winning the vote on the new entertainment arena on May 16, 1999 that STILL HASN'T BEEN BUILT!! (They just got around to mowing the lawn back in August 2001) Leave a Comment

I am suprised that Kansas City, MO has gotten more reviews than Omaha, NE they are both around a million people anyway id visit Omaha because they alot of amenities that much, much bigger cities done have.
I know there is like 15 colleges and universities in the city of Omaha and about 5 more in the Lincoln area....and they are fairly big as well and cheap (somebody said its less than 3,000 dollars a year at the University of Nebraska and its less than 1,000 dollars a year for a junior colleges and this state heavily subsidizes everything including education)
Omaha also has a gigantic convention center(Council Bluffs and Lincoln also have convention centers) and they have many old sokol halls and like 4 arts performance halls
Omaha is a very nice city and I would highly recommend it....My current place of residence on the other hand Columbus, OH is a very nasty city that is decaying so visit Omaha instead of the other side of the midwest Leave a Comment

I love the College World Series it is one of Omaha's greatest Amenities. I even got to see Kevin Costner there last year and that in itself is pretty cool..

Omaha is known in the mid-west as the "Mississippi of the North" because of the way whites in this town treat blacks. Whites are very fixated on race and they try to make sure that they segregate themselves so they never see a black person. In this town you will never see a white associating with a black. One city council member said that he could not name a park after a black because he is white and catholic. Omaha will always be a hotbed of racist people (people in Omaha, love Jesse Helms and George Wallace, because thats all this town like to ignore the fact its boarded-up and boring
I have lived in this town 2 years and this town has nothing good. It is filled with closed-minded, obese, racist, xenophobics with ten kids who shop at Wal-Mart. If you visit Omaha, you will remember the racist and devisive culture these people are into. Leave a Comment

Omaha is not going to blow you away. In all accounts, it is an average city. It has restaurants, shops, parks, museums, etc. It is not a big tourist stop. Most people are here because of business or they have family in the area. For one or two days, it's not a bad place to go, but you'll start getting bored after that.
The day I moved away from it. It'll always be home and I'm glad to be from there, but I'm also glad to move on to new adventures in my life.

Omaha is very, very filthy for beginners.
Dont visit Omaha there is not much to visit but consider living in visiting Omaha to see if you want to live there heres why...
-Lowest unemployment rate in the nation
-Lowest college tuition in the nation, I have heard the average ratio is 10 to 1
-1st in college funding and K-12 Funding
-No rush hour
-Easy to get around, tons of resturants with good food and hy-vee (des moines based) grocrey chain) has the best deli and salad bar I have tasted.
-Quite progressive for a mid-western city (much more liberal than kansas city or indianapolis for example)
-No irritating accents
-Nice, clean wholesome people
-Best jogging and bike system in the country
-Hospitals on every corner it seems like
-Cheap cost of living (you can get a house for 40,000 dollars)
-Ethnic diversity compared to similar sized cities
Some bad things:
High Pollution for metro area with just under a million people
Crime isnt the lowest
Southside (sarthside as locals say it) stinks very, very bad because of the slaughterhouses Leave a Comment
