Maybe it will help us shed the Nebraska off of Omaha in common reference.
And maybe it’s at the right time to help offset our school segregation attempt.

Maybe someone already caught this, but in the section about restaurants, they reference About Schmidt, but they call it All About Schmidt.

Well, hopefully some Omahans on United flights will read the article and feel better about their city. Also, the Wallstreet Tower Omaha was mentioned in one of the articles.
i am kind of disappointed they did not mention the metro population, only the 400k number that live within the city limits. Oh well, it was still a most excellent article!
While the main articles didn't refer to the metro population, several adds mentioned that 1.1 million people live in a 45-50 mile radius. Also, I read that John Beasley is looking to build a 300 seat theater in North Downtown. Has this been mentioned before in eOmaha?
It's just an advertisement, and most people don't know the difference.

I procured three hard copies this weekend. Of course one is mine .
Now, start fighting over who deserves the other two the most. ;)

I traveled United this weekend and flew back in on Thursday evening. The article looks even better in print. It was great to see the Berkshire investors reading the article on their way to spend the weekend in the city.
I haven't read all the replies, but just wanted mention that during my United flight from LA to Denver the inflight tv programing featured an Omaha infomercial.
I leave for New York City on Saturday at 6 UGH!! My flight was originally scheduled for American, but I guess I'm lucky as It got switched to United. I'm not a morning person. But I will take a copy.

Take a few, they're free!
I ordered 10 from the publisher. I'll have a couple extra copies if anyone wants one. First come, first served.
