Re: Explaining Omaha
Check out the website (or not, take my word for it?)...#30, 'beautiful Omaha sunsets'... can't say I've ever seen the sun set in the east, as that's the direction this shot is aimed.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. Not that would really be something to write an article on.l-dude wrote:Check out the website (or not, take my word for it?)...#30, 'beautiful Omaha sunsets'... can't say I've ever seen the sun set in the east, as that's the direction this shot is aimed.

Re: Explaining Omaha
This looks like it was taken from the northeast and shot toward the SW, maybe from a bluff in CB?

Re: Explaining Omaha
When I heard that Rounders were back, I was already for bed at 11, with a nice porter in hand. Just that news made me get dressed and drive 25 minutes to satisfy the craving.
Re: Explaining Omaha
You must be looking at a different photo. The #30 shot is looking east-southeast toward a sunrise. The Civic parking garage is west of the Civic and the Woodmen is west of the FNB tower...to name a few clues.bigredmed wrote:This looks like it was taken from the northeast and shot toward the SW, maybe from a bluff in CB?
In reality, every big city can have a beautiful sunrise or sunset...not really something that makes Omaha unique. It just depends on where you try to view it from. There are a few calm days too, without any wind. Most other places within hundreds of miles of Omaha can handle snow too, unless you go south of Kansas. I had never heard of Rounders.
He said "They are some big, ugly red brick buildings"
...and then they were gone.
...and then they were gone.

Re: Explaining Omaha
When I worked at a gas station, the Mexicans landscapers would always buy that Clamato stuff, which is beer with tomato and clam.

Re: Explaining Omaha
I work at a Hy Vee here... And a lot of people bought Clamato juice. It's an odd thing that I didn't think actually existed when I read about it here, but lo-and-behold, a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

Re: Explaining Omaha
Omaha:
We love our Old Market
We absolutely cherish the College World Series
We are proud of our zoo
Berkshire Hathaway weekend is always fun
We like college sports more than pro sports
We drink a lot
We get offended when people ask where Omaha is
We don't all like the Huskers
Most of us have never seen Chimney Rock (most of us have never been west of Lincoln for that matter)
We do not wear cowboy hats
Most of us appreciate traditional family values and know it's why our kids score so well on the ACT compared to the national average
We don't even know what a rounder is, let alone eat them
We are pro-business
We value Nebraska's agriculture production
Most of us really like our mayor
We appreciate our military and support our police officers

Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
Re: Explaining Omaha
That seems like a lot of sweeping generalizations and opinions.

Which is what most people use when explaining a locale of any kind.
When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that not only does God exist, you're doing his will.

Re: Explaining Omaha
When I briefly moved to LA everyone said to me, "WOW, big change, eh?" It's like they had no idea that Omaha was even a city. In fact with the exception of the ethnic diversity and the uniquely southern California character of there people, most of LA felt a lot like West Omaha between 680 and 72nd street. Same with Dallas when I lived there. It was like a giant west Omaha...not too different at all.
