Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Leave it to Beaver

That's the ultra-bland mentality/mindset you find living in Omaha. You expect to see mom running out to greet her husband in an apron when he gets home from work, white picket fences, apple pies sitting on window sills, dad mowing the yard with one of those old reel type push mowers, teens going to the malt shop and listening to tunes on the jukebox, etc, you get the picture. Citizens consider this city trendy because it simply has some of the things other cities have had for years-a thai restaurant, an organic market, an arts district, bars that serve appletinis-are they even trendy anymore ? The cost of living is low only compared to places such as DC, NYC, Boston, LA, SF-places that offer far more in terms of scenery, culture, nightlife, outdoor activities, weather. You're far from mountains or beaches, it has an extreme four season climate-very cold and long winters, very hot, humid summers. Very little charm-move to New Orleans or Charleston SC for that, nor really anything to grab you and make you savor life. It's all mashed potatoes, hence the title, and no cayenne pepper--haha, I'm so funny !
