What do you like about Omaha and what are your favorite secret spots? Omaha is a really great city. You have many of the amenities that you would find in a much larger city but Omaha is very approachable and easy to navigate.

(I don’t have favorite spots as I haven’t lived in Omaha in over a decade and when I do come to Omaha I’m only on campus)
