There was a report on CBS News tonight and there was a star for Omaha on their map.  At this point the story isnt online.

East cost news story.  For all they know they may have placed that star thinking it was Wichita.

The report was done  by TRIP  ® of  Washington, DC is a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates
and distributes economic and technical data on highway transportation issues -- and published in October 2006 --- must have been a slow media day today.  :lol:
The ten urban regions with at least 500,000 people, which includes the city
and its surrounding suburbs, with the greatest share of major roads and
highways with pavements that are in substandard condition and provide a
rough ride are:  San Jose – 66 %, Los Angeles – 65 %, San Francisco –
Oakland – 58 %, Kansas City – 58 %, New Orleans (pre-Katrina) – 56 %,
San Diego – 54 %, Sacramento – 50 %, St. Louis – 46 %, Omaha – 46 %
and New York City – 45 %.    
The ten urban regions with at least 500,000 people, which includes the city
and its suburbs, where motorists pay the most annually in additional
vehicle maintenance because of roads in poor condition are:  San Jose –
$705, Los Angeles -- $693, San Francisco – Oakland  -- $654, Kansas City
-- $651, San Diego -- $618, Sacramento -- $608, New Orleans (pre-
Katrina) -- $603, Oklahoma City -- $568, Omaha -- $560 and St. Louis --

Yes, but for "urban regions" they combined Oakland and San Francisco.

O... fault.  Since it skipped a line in between those two, I counted them separately.
