I applied for a position in Omaha. My family and I live in Bismarck, ND. I've done some research on the Omaha area. I have some questions and remarks. My position would be between boystown and Millard, right by Oak View Mall. It appears this is a fairly new area. My wife has always worded customer service in call centers. Are there any near this area of my work? What rates are preschool or daycare rates go monthly? I have an 8 and 4 year old. When I lived near Minnesota, I loved driving for hours around the lakes and forests. Is there much as far as scenery to drive through? Realize that I grew up and lived in ND my whole life. The flat plains are not new to me. Not to seem to naive, but what is blight? I read about it on several posts stating that Omaha has areas of blight. From what I read it sounds like Omaha is a larger version of a Fargo, Sioux Falls, Bismarck type city. We are not into going to bars and nightclubs. Dont care for the nightlife. Got Kids. It seems that Omaha has quite an array of special restraunts. When I visit, what restraunt do I need to visit above all others? Please don't list if my food will run over $100 for a couple. I have many questions but will wait if I get the job.
Mattden please dont respond to this, I don't respect your opinion.

Im not sure about day care as I dont have any kids, but there are call centers all over, the best place to find a job in one is at www.careerlink.org and click on omaha, but there's sitel, west, noll, amongst the many in the area.. Im a prime therapeutics on 114th and dodge, really OMaha is a 20 minute city (non-rush hour) that is, you can get anywhere in just about twenty minutes, so just have fun searching, and the food is awesome here and not very highly priced, i mean there are upscale restaurants like the cheesecake factory, the upstream etc.. that will run you a little more, but man are they worth it..

Oh yeah, and omaha does not have much blight...

I for one always like going to a BBQ place just west I-680 on Center Street. You get a good meal and it don't cost that much. Also you will be close to this place. It is on the south side of Center Street. I don't remember the name of the place, just know how to get there.

You will like driving along the Missouri or Platte Rivers which has lots of nice trees and the drive is a nice one. Just take one of our back roads, but beware you will be in the rural areas of Nebraska and this is where all of our rude and crime rates are high at according to MattDen, which is just a bunch of BS.

Welcome to Nebraska.

Just remembered the name of the BBQ place. It is Ozark Smoked Meat Co at 114 & West Center Rd. Small place but for my opinion it is great food and great service that does not cost you much.

Iron Horse is a nice one, but I just won't have time to go there this time around. So will have to go to Quarry Oaks.
