Review of Omaha, Nebraska


Omaha has a nice mix
Star Rating - 11/16/2008
Omaha Ne has good employment, changing weather and lots of things to do. The addition of the Qwest Center and downtown improvements have added a lot of class to the city. Many think the weather is bad... especially the winter. We have had bad ones, but most are OK with the exception of about 15 days a winter. We typically do not get a lot of snow, and most years you can get a round of golf in each month.

Weather: Dude, buddy, I don't know what you're talking about. The winter has been HORRIBLE this year. I've lived here for a long time and winters more often than not are awful. From December to about mid March, expect to spend most of your time couped up in your house. Then get ready for humidity and thunderstorms. You're lucky to get 2-3 months of decent weather here (fall and some of spring). Employment: it's bad everywhere right now, thanks to our economy. Some places are hit harder than others. Omaha hasn't been hit as bad, but people are still losing jobs. Things to do: Zoo, old market... then what? Sure, there are things to do, but it's not a ton. For a city of Omaha's size, it's good. I do agree the Qwest Center was needed, but the bridge wasn't and I don't like where this new baseball stadium is going, plus with the Royals leaving, sounds kind of pointless in my opinion.

You may have good employment, but look past your own cubicle. There have been a lot of people laid off in the last few months i.e. First Data, INFO USA, PAYPAL. I know you think this city is immune from the national downturn in the economy, but it isn't. For people like you to continue to say things like that is not only irresponsible, it's also very wrong.
