Nebraska: It's not for everyone
I lived in Omaha for 7 years. Best zoo I have ever been to, downtown area along the river had good bars and restaurants, college world series was fun every year, casinos right across the river, Halloween corn mazes, drive-in movie theaters, low crime, low cost of living...it was honestly way better than I thought it would be before I got there. If the right job came along, I wouldn't have a problem going back.
