Review of Omaha, Nebraska


Just not enough
Star Rating - 4/23/2011
Moved to Omaha from Florida about a year ago and moving out at the end of the month. It's not a terrible place by any means, but there's just not enough to do. Everyone here loves the Huskers and drinking. Most people are Catholic and conservative. A zoo, some cobblestone downtown and having Warren Buffett as a resident aren't enough to make me pay the high taxes that make up for the low cost of living. People are nice, but hard to make close friends because most already have their groups from high school and are closed minded to new additions or thoughts. I'm seeking more outdoor recreation, which is why I'm moving to Colorado. Maybe this is a utopia if you want to raise a family, but I'm far, far away until I get to that point in my life.
