Leave your “Bigger metropolis” snobbery at the door. Omaha has a LOT of great aspects. What I remember best from 25 years ago is the Smoke Pit BBQ and the Surfside. Oh, and that school where I got my degree. The the people there have a genuineness and a sensibility lacking in my adopted home. People in Omaha realise that if you are taking your pet to a psychic, YOU should be taken to a psychiatrist. Lotta good times, but if I ever see 12” snow drifts again it will be WAY too soon.
