View Poll Results: Omaha as a World Class City: How does it rank?
1st (There is no place like Nebraska and no city like Omaha... ANYWHERE) 40 31.75%
2nd (because Big-O mass transit is not the best and riding the bus is important) 5 3.97%
3rd (because Omaha has too many white people and whites are void of diversity) 4 3.17%
4th (because corn is lame and Omaha is close to corn) 9 7.14%
5th (because Omaha is just a suburb of Chicago) 4 3.17%
6th (because Omaha is just a suburb of Denver) 1 0.79%
7th (because Omaha is just a suburb of KC) 6 4.76%
8th (because Scranton is still a city and still rocks like nobody's business) 13 10.32%
9th (explain why) 1 0.79%
10th (explain why) 43 34.13%

I also don't know why I am still here talking about it...
^ Because nothing, absolutely nothing is more important than a discussion involving Omaha.

I'm glad you mentioned the convention center, cuz i was about to rank Omaha at about 8 or 9, but yeah with the convention center it is definitely in the top 5... I'll put it #4, just behind NYC, London & Tokyo -- I think they still have slightly better nightlife than Omaha, but it is just a matter of time til Omaha surpasses them too. Yeah sometimes the truth hurts NYC, sorry.

1) NYC
2) London
3)Tokyo
4) OMAHA
5) Paris
6) Hong Kong
7) Sydney
8) Scranton
9) Chicago
10) Berlin

Good list but Scranton is too high. 15-20 range is more accurate.

Sir, I respect your opinion, but to put it bluntly, if you wish to place Scranton down around 15-20 I find it difficult to believe that you have ever been to Scranton. I did struggle with Scranton at 8 and Chicago at 9... maybe those should be reversed. But to put Scranton at 15 -- think about it. You would have to put Berlin and maybe Rio, Rome, Singapore, Buenos Aires, and San Francisco ahead of Scranton -- That is crazy talk. Perhaps, sir, you do not realize that Scranton also has a convention center.

touche... I will give you the new convention center and it's importance with regards to Scranton's overall global ranking. Apparently they have a triple A affliate of the Yankees which further ups their global standing. Still a bit of a stretch to put them in top 10, unless perhaps you include Hazelton in their metro sphere.
