Discovering Omaha: Nebraska's Urban Oasis | Informational Overview and Guide to Omaha Nebraska

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Hi! Let me know if you live here or maybe would like to visit...

[@davejarvis7522]

I live in a Denver suburb -- but this isn't the state I grew up in , and that's not good. You should hit this market hard for customers,many want to move to a sane city!!--- ha!

[@Electrodexify]

I have lived many years in Omaha, and I travel to other cities from time to time. I always feel welcomed back with the warm jazz music from our homely airport, especially after experiencing homeless, traffic congestion, "unwashed" odors and locals telling me to be careful at night.

[@402_ventures]

I have lived here my whole life born and raised, I'm 39 going on 40 in November. I love that Omaha is as I call it a little big city, being that it's big but not overwhelming and still small enough to where you can get around town anywhere in about 15-20 min depending on rush hour time. Def love calling it my home, seeing as my channel is all about things we do in the 402.

[@Megyn7425]

We are seriously considering a move to Omaha, but what about the cultural diversity? This is incredibly important to us!!

[@402_ventures]

​@@Megyn7425 there is every culture you can think of in this city.

[@mellowmoods8393]

I've lived on west Oahu for the last 20 years, and before that I was born and raised in So. California. But after an upcoming divorce and giving half of everything to my wife and then getting full custody of my 3 kids, Omaha looks like a very nice place to land for my kids and I. It's kind of tough actually choosing between Sioux Falls and Omaha, actually. They both look like Paradise!

[@rjphllps7]

Only thing i would have also mentioned is the award winning and always top 3 Zoo's world wide! Other then that great job!

[@jzh877]

Thanks for the video! Looking forward to move to Omaha from AZ this summer.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!!!

I’m a former Chicagoan living in Omaha. Is that perfect balance of large city living without the hassle of living in a massive metro. Love seeing it grow and develop, especially in the urban areas.

[@NoahMarquiss]

Well until u get stuck in traffic

Great video. Your narration is flawless and your shots of Omaha are nicely edited. It is a cool city that is improving each time I visit.

[@davidt.6013]

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing our underrated community!

[@ShowLSWH]

I grew up in Omaha but have lived in several states since. Currently living in Texas and haven't been to NE in six years, but I'm headed back to Omaha for a wedding this summer. I found this video to see what's been popping in the O and this honestly has me incredibly excited to go back. Runza and a 20 minute commute are unheard of in DFW. Thanks!

[@supermary8482]

Don't come back. Military is going to intervene over Sex Slavery. CPS kids being turned into sex slaves. Mary Bunton Facebook Wall. I got sex Slaved by the town. Very Sad.

[@orangemanbad]

I got a job offer in FW currently from Omaha. Which city would you say you prefer and why? Thanks!

[@ShowLSWH]

@@orangemanbad Hey! Congrats on the job offer. Comparing Omaha and FW has been something I’ve been doing a lot of lately with my wife. We’re newly married and she’s from FW. For the time being we’re going to stay in FW because I’ll be finishing professional school with debt and Texas not having an income tax gives us a good chunk of change left to help pay down that debt to to help save at the beginning of our careers. So one big plus for a move down here is no state income tax! As a disclaimer as well, my wife and I don’t have kids or own a home yet, so property tax and schools aren’t something we’ve factored in yet. To make the comparison more succinct, Omaha is about 1/2 the size of Fort Worth, but I wouldn’t say is lacking in the way of restaurants, museums, concerts, and stuff to do. FW does have the historic stockyards which is the old west town part, and it’s cool but I’ve only gone twice in three years. FW definitely has the edge in Mexican, TexMex food, and BBQ. FW definitely has the edge in sports because you can go to all the Dallas teams fairly easily, but I’ve only been it two Mavs games and a Stars game in three years. Omaha is so much better when it comes to driving and traffic. DFW is a mess with traffic because it’s all highways and sprawl with limited mass transit. The angry Texan in a massive SUV tailgating you in the right lane because you’re only going 12 over the speed limit before passing you on the shoulder is a real thing. I live downtown and can walk to my job, and if you can live near where you work then that won’t be a big issue, but traffic here is much worse than Omaha. People are very friendly and welcoming, especially to transplants not from the west coast. This friendliness ends when it comes to driving though. Admittedly, my wife and I are planning on moving back to Omaha in 4-5 years because it’s smaller, homes are more affordable, and I love the direction downtown Omaha is going with more parks, transit options, and density. Put Briefly: A move from Omaha to FW means you’ll probably make more money, spend a lot more time in traffic, have access to great Mexican and BBQ, and have the ability to go to professional sports games. Personally, I think Omaha is probably better for families, but single or no kids, FW is probably a better place. Oh and weather. Summers here are terrible. It was 117 for the entire month of July. It’ll be 105 at 10pm or 5am. July-August are not fun. But fall here takes several months and is super nice. Winter also isn’t close to be as bad as Omaha. We get one ice storm every year and then tempts are mostly in the 50s and 60s. I hope some of that helps!

[@susan5301]

WOW! Watching this video just blows my mind! How much Omaha has changed and grown in just 20 years! I left in 2001 and have not been back since and I hardly recognize it! It looks like it offers so much, I couldn't afford to move back there even if I wanted to! Thanks for a wonderful video! Heck, I remember when Ak-Sar-Ben was a horse track!! 🐎🐴

@@Tyler_Bundy I figured. I thought I would add the color commentary. I grew up in Lincoln. I remember having to hit the basement quite a few times. I was a kid living in Lincoln when Omaha was last hit by a tornado. The tornados last spring hit residential areas around the west and north of town. My sister lives out towards Bennington, and she said houses were hit just a few miles from her home. The tornado when I was young hit Omaha pretty dead on if I remember correctly.

Also, we do not have the extreme weather of Minneapolis (in which their residents still learn to appreciate their weather) or even Calgary Edmonton Canada, Omaha has all 4 season and we learn to appreciate them. I've been to San Diego and Phoenix and there are some people that complain that their weather is too boring.
