Omaha Cowboy
The Don
Another YouTube content creator vlogs about his first ever visit, and 2 day stay in Omaha a month or so back. Now this is no small potato on YouTube- the Vlogger is Nick Johnson, who has over 656,000 subscribers.

He states that after visiting, Omaha might be his 2nd favorite city in the US, and this guy has been around. His blogs always have a touch of sarcasm..but in the end, his video and impressions of the city and metro, is fantastic pub for the Omaha metropolitan area. Enjoy this-

Are we really the most segregated city in the country?

Interesting video. He actually explored the whole city, not just the highlights.

I always question that statement when I hear it about segregation as it relates to Omaha, Was Omaha segregated? Yes. The most segregated city in the US? Doubtful..

And I agree. He actually took the time to explore and experience not only the city, but a good chunk of the metropolitan area- even pronouncing Papillion correctly. Considering his significant subscription base on YouTube, I think overall, this is great publicity for the city and metropolitan area…

Nope, not even close. That's one of those weird urban myths that gets tossed around with no data citation. Milwaukee is the most segregated iirc.

...And that's why YouTubers, TikTokers, Instagrammers, etc are who they are. Oh to be an "influencer".
