SperlingViews - North_Platte, Nebraska

I live in North Platte,Ne..I used to call St.Louis,Mo. my home until crime became so bad.Although the economy is effecting the nation,"there is a lot of work here.North Platte can boast of the "worlds" largest railhead-(Union Pacific).That means a lot of jobs.Jobs that pay well because they are union jobs.Then there is the agriculture that requires a lot of people to work in the mills,farming,etc.The crime rate is very low.It is a good place to raise kids.The schools are very good and there is no forced bussing.It is a sportmans paradise with all types of hunting,fishing,lakes rivers,etc. I always thought of Nebraska as being only a farm state but it is very deverse.This towns population is about 25,000. I am just guessing but I guess it is about 95% white,3% black,the rest being hispanic or asian.But I do not see a lot of prejudice here.In fact it is the other way around.People go out of their way to help each other.I have lived here for 4 years and do not wish to reside anywhere else.So if you want to maybe make a change or need a job,"check this town out.It really is a good place to raise a family or even start one.Lots of pretty ,available girls here!!!!Anyway,Just check it out.......[read more...]
