What Tier is Omaha?

dmoor82 · Post by **dmoor82** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 9:43 pm

Tier 2 or tier 3,4? What do you think? is Omaha on The level as such cities as Nashville,Charlotte,Orlando?or on The level as such cities as Memphis,Raleigh,Tulsa,ABQ?or is on par with such cities as Des Moines,Wichita,Bakersfield,Toledo,Syracuse?I myself would put Omaha on Tier 3 border line Tier 2!Make a case for Omaha and why it should be in a certain Tier- list such things as Fortune Fivehundred companies,population,GDP,public services,transportation,universities etc...

1 because Omaha is way better than where ever you're from and going to try and make a case that it isn't.

It is impossible to answer this question because there are no established standards or definitions for urban "tiers" that I know of. We rank with urban areas of our size. Duh.

We're on no tier until Lady Gaga finally comes here.
Her Boyfriend is from here and we can't even get her. Therefore, Omaha is a certain kind of heck.

You missed her then, because she opened up for New Kids on the Block last year.

Regarding Lady Gaga, a friend of mine whose sister works at the private jet area east of Eppley said Lady Gaga arrived in Omaha last Monday. I have no other details about why she was there, when she left, how she left, etc. She had a concert the next night in K.C. I would seem logical that she met her boyfriend here(or came here with him) and spent the night before continuing on to K.C. Anyone spot Gaga out and about Monday night?

I still don't understand why "pop culture" considers lady gaga a fashion icon/sensation. From what I see, I may as well smear feces all over my face, use a 12-box as a hat, and a streak marked pair of 1989 WWF underwear. She uber disgusto.

^^^Me, as if I needed to point that out.

The wikipedia city tiers link is very accurate except for Oklahoma City, how are they in the same category as Denver, KC, Phoenix, etc? I like OKC a lot and love what they are doing with their downtown but that just doesn't make any sense.

dmoor82 · Post by **dmoor82** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 9:12 pm

^^Yeah if anything OKC would be at The bottom of that tier,and there is alot of small cities lumped in with Omaha's tier that aren't even close to being as important, so I'd take this rating list with a grain of salt!here is a list of of all micropolitian and Metropolitian areas in The U.S. and there metro that city is most reliant upon,like for trade,business etc....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Trading_AreaThis list was originally supposed to be for telecommunications only!

Yeah OKC would have The smallest MSA and GDP(1.3 million and 50+ bill) in That tier,and with 2 mill ppl in metro KC it would be The second smallest metro in this list!Denver and esp Phoenix have significantly larger metro populations than KC and especially OKC!but if you read the The top of The page it explains why OKC would be in that tier,but I just dont see it!

Looking at that Basic Trading Area page... I would have guessed that Sioux City would be more attached to Omaha than Des Moines... we're almost half the distance away.
