Une nouvelle ville-soeur pour l'Omaha?

StreetsOfOmaha · Post by **StreetsOfOmaha** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 1:51 pm

A woman I work with at Banana Republic, who is from a prominent French family living in Omaha, said she has had several meetings with Mayor Fahey and other French representatives to discuss a new sister city arrangement between Omaha and a French city. She would not tell me the name of the city in question saying, "it hasn't been announced yet."

So keep an eye out for this in the news.

Nice!

Do you speak French now?

Well, I'm getting better. I leave for Quebec City in a couple weeks to study French for about five weeks there. Then I'll come back and continue to study it at UNO.

Hey, I got your message Bob. Hope everything is going well in San Francisco. I'll try to give you a call one of these days.

Very cool.

Building relationships even internationally with cities and giving them exposure to the greatness that is Omaha is always a plus..

Lets hope this shakes out

Put me in both of these categories.

Besides, who cares about those Peugeot driving, latte-sipping, American hating traitor wussies anyway? I take my Freedom Fries with lots of salt, and the only wine I drink doesn't come from France--it comes out of a box.

Nevermind the fact that the French funded the American Revolution, and then mostly excused all financial responsibilites thereafter.

This is my Freedom Smiley ;)

And they gave us the Statue of Liberty. They can take back their fur-pitted women though. Where's that puke emoticon when you need it.

Actually, they do shave and shower, most of the stories you hear about the french arent true. We never ran into a single rude french person when we were there either.

It doesn't matter. If Ford ain't built it, it ain't worth driving. If you can't kill it with your bare hands, it ain't worth eatin', and if you can't pernounce one of them ol' girly french sounding drink names, it ain't worth drinking.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got me some deer and trout to gut over in Council Bluffs.
