They'll actually be southernmost, too. We lose that distinction in October.

If you're calling Omaha a craphole, like you do so many places, because of the people who live there, I sure hope people don't rate the beautiful city of Anchorage based on your charm.
And I could give a rats arse what anyone's opinion of Anchorage is based on. I'm not offended by other people's opinions like you are.

your "about 5 miles" is actually 15 miles to the southern edge of greater Toledo (across the river and in a different county), with a whole lot of rural in between. Only somebody who's never actually set foot in NW Ohio would confuse BG with Toledo.
The Lake Erie effluent is mostly fertilizer runoff from farm fields, draining from multiple river basins in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. We've got a bunch of farms 'round here, Sparky. Blaming it on Toledo is just bizarre. No idea where you get your opinions about NW Ohio (and don't give a rat's ***), but they're not based in fact.
But you're the guy who likes to rant about how the Midwest shouldn't be called the Midwest, so guess we shouldn't be surprised.

They all have something positive to experience. Welcome to our new brethren in Tempe. Can't wait to enjoy your town too!RIT Tigers

Surprisingly lousy restaurant town, though. We hate the politics here, too. Omaha is a place people usually get promoted and sent away from and, not to, like I was.
Great, great hockey town. One of the more surprising single things I found out about it after moving here and I wasn't a hockey fan when I did.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
You kneecap your argument by touting the cheap housing. Housing is cheap in places where there's low demand. Where is there low demand? Crappy places where nobody wants to live.
Having lived in cheap housing in Ft. Worth and Wichita, I can absolutely say I am much happier paying almost 7x as much per square foot where I live now.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

Originally posted by Red Cows View PostIt isn't my hometown, but I have lived here since January of 1990, after living in Kansas City for 27 years and Chicago before that. It is a much nicer place to live than you might think. The amount of money that is here in a metro of 875,000 is unreal. That is because it is home to five Fortune 500 companies and another 5 that are in the Fortune 1000 and who those companies are. FWIW, it is much more like Chicago than it is Kansas City. If you saw my brand spanking new $189,000, 3 bedroom, 3 full bath with finished basement walk-out ranch, just shy of 3,000 square foot house, that I bought here in early 2007 I think you might be much more complimentary. Very inexpensive place to live. An amazing amount of house for the money.

Politically, Omaha is nothing like Kansas City OR Chicago, which are both staunchly unionized, for one thing, something Omaha definitely is not. This is one of the "reddest" states in the entire country.
I've never been to Hartford so I can't speak to that, but, seriously, Omaha has more of an Chicago vibe than a Kansas City one, that's all I was trying to say.
I grant you that few people, if any, wake up in the morning, roll over, and say to their husband or wife, "You know, honey, how come we aren't living in Omaha?"
Having been here for some time, though, it isn't as bad as you'd think. Our hockey team doesn't suck.Last edited by Red Cows; 04-22-2015, 09:32 PM.
