I like all the places mentioned, especially the changes of seasons. I do make it back to Omaha almost 2 times a year. other places in NE too.

I always like returning back to this though.

I agree with most part, but I strongly disagree with the good bus system statement. The bus I was waiting for was 40 minutes late and I had to wait in snow. They are never punctual, so I wouldn't say we have a good bus system. The public transportation in Omaha sucks.

I really like the art and music scenes here. Hot shop is awesome. Saddle Creek Records rocks.

Looks like a nice vacation! Nice picture. I like vacationing to an ocean just to take a look.

When I moved to Las Vegas I was pretty enamored by the mountains (obviously not an ocean), but it then started to become less neat and more of a pain in the @#$ because of how much hardware on a car gets damaged and how much fuel it takes to get through them.

I like their Sunset Red, though I do not see it listed on their website. I also thought Ice Falcon was good too.

Lets see... I should add a few more items:

• The sounds, sights, and smells of the Old Market on an unseasonably warm fall evening.
• The Durham museum
• A downtown with lots of historic buildings
• Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts
• Catching an independent movie at Film Streams
• Catching a drag show or dancing at The Max
• Sharing a Boot of Warsteiner with friends at a German Beer hall, Huber Haus
• Enjoying a beer and watching the Old Market crowd at Mr. Toad
• Getting your money's worth at Mai Tai Lounge (with a designated driver already in place, of course!)
• Mics Karaoke bar

WoW!!! Lucky you. I deal with Post Offices everyday being a client with Pitney and I have yet to see an actual Post Office that has employees work @ the counters that know what service is all about.

Every Post Office I been to that I observed their services, they just talk, talk and talk. Everything is Slow-Motion and they do-not care how far the line is backed up.

Then again I don't know Omaha. I just used the search button on City-Data about "Space-Heaters" and this was on the top of the list.

Oh, I will like to say "howdy-do-da"

I moved here from outside Nebraska, and there is a night and day difference between the Post Offices. I admit it's not perfect, since occasionally you will have to wait in line, but there are a handful of USPS employees here who are worth their weight in gold. And being that Omaha is on I-80 and on the Union Pacific railroad and with a major airport, mail gets delivered in record time. I love it.
