    As for Omaha ... lived there. It's a craphole. Mostly due to the other people that also live there.
    Omaha is a great place to live. Did you live in South O?

      No kidding.

      Omaha is the headquarters to these Fortune 500 companies:

      1. The largest railroad in the world.
      2. One of the world's largest packaged foods companies.
      3. The largest construction company in the world.
      4. The 10th largest insurance company in the Unites States.
      5. And, the 7th largest business in the entire country (and the 17th largest in the world), owned by the 3rd richest person on the planet, who lives here along with his heirs.

      To say nothing of companies numbered 621, 736, 762, 795 and 924 of the Fortune 1000 all being HQ'ed in Omaha, as well. All in a town of 875,000.

      Yeah, there are a couple of bucks here. It's a big reason why Omaha has some things that not many city's this size have.

      These corporation's fingerprints are everywhere in this town including on UNO's new arena.

                  Uh. Yeah. You don't see fortune 500 or 1000 companies basing HQ in a **** hole. More corporations means more jobs and more money. It's why the Twin Cities has such a high standard of living relative to everything else between the coasts.

                  But I digress.

                    It 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.

                    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.

                              Actually I am an alum. Been to an ASU hockey game or two over the years. Grad school at ASU is what brought me to the desert.

                                My cousin moved to AZ from MN about 15 years ago. He did not get a college degree here...but picked up one last year from ASU. He's loves the school and is a big sports fan. I figured he'd be all over this...but seemed kinda uninterested. I lost that battle, but the war's not over.
