The city is actually not the big farm it's made out to be. The city's population is double that of Orlando, and the metropolitan area has a population of 660,000, more than the entire state of Wyoming, Nebraska's western neighbor. Omaha is right on the eastern border with Iowa, and the stadium for the Series was Exit 454A. Fun drive I bet. One cabbie told me that 90 percent of the state's population is within 100 miles of the Missouri River. This means it must be a lot of fun to be a real-estate agent in western Nebraska.
Civilization is just six hours east.
Mark Twain would be crushed, if the parking lots lining both banks didn't already kill him. If you do feel a desire to go to Omaha, bring a book and get a steak, and go during the College World Series. The other 352 days of the year look to be pretty slow, best I can tell.
