GREAT NEWS....Can't wait to see it !!
Here's where some of the great photographer's on this forum need to step up and offer some images from their collections. This type of 'publication opportunity' is an example of where I've mentioned that I've seen photos that don't really stack up with what I've seen some members post or use as 'signatures'!!! (ie: the1wags & streetsofomaha)

From the W-H story link Jake provided:
'The reason for the disparity: Low-fare carrier Southwest Airlines began nonstop service from Kansas City to Dallas in mid-December. American Airlines lowered its K.C.-Dallas fares in response.
American Airlines offers Eppley's only nonstop service to Dallas. Southwest serves Omaha, too, but is prohibited by a law known as the Wright Amendment from flying nonstop to its home base at Dallas Love Field from all but eight states.
Passed in 1979, the law was created to aid the then-new Dallas-Fort Worth airport, where American is based. That airport since has grown into one of the world's busiest.
Missouri became the eighth state exempted from the Wright Amendment last fall, thanks to an amendment added to a transportation bill. Southwest began flights from both Kansas City and St. Louis in mid-December..'..
That @&*$$# Wright Amendment..It needs to be completely BOOTED from civilization ..
..Ciao..LiO....Peace

I'm really excited about this Hemispheres Magazine thing.
Anytime I fly on an airline, I'm always impressed and jeolous of the features of other cities, ESPECIALLY United, since Hemispheres appears to be a really well done publication.
I will definitely see if I can get some photos into this. In fact, this might just be the inspiration I need to get out there and get some new, high-def shots.

Yeah, but it's WAY too wide for a .sig. On a 1024x768 machine (laptop), it causes the entire forum page to be too wide to fit, causing it to scroll horizontally to read posts. It's pretty, but knock it down a bit sizewise, please!OmahaTheGreat wrote:That photo by Streets is really great. He really knows how to take a great shot.

Nice! Can someone get this magazine without taking a flight or going to the airport?Harpoon wrote:I have seen the finished product of the May HEMISPHERES magazine and it is pretty sweet. They actually have 54 pages devoted to Omaha and really did a class act of selling the city. This is going to bring some great publicity to Omaha.

Lol Adam..
I just read/scanned through the entire 28 page piece..
This is one of, if not THE best, pieces of Omaha promotion/information I have ever read..The skyline picture is DYNAMIC and Omaha is painted as a cosmopolitan jewel in the midwest (not that we didn't know that already ) ..
You can't help but feel pumped to be an Omahan after reading this piece..
BRAVO Hemispheres Magazine!..

I agree COMPLETELY. Man, I would LOVE to have that overview/skyline shot as a 24x36 on my den wall!Omaha Cowboy wrote:Lol Adam..

Fantastic.
I WANT A HARD COPY!!!!
And that skyline view NEEDS to be a postcard!
I was hoping for more focus on all the residential development downtown, especially Wallstreet Tower, but I did see an add for Riverfront Place.
Anyway, Really Awesome!
