That sounds like the guy that’s been divorced 5 times that always blames the wife. Perhaps it’s you.

Omaha gets a lot of love on this board. Rightly so. But we should do a board weekend in Omaha and pay our respects.


I drive through Omaha once or thrice a year. I’d advise avoiding it during the college World Series. It’s a zoo.

Dude, hold up! I wanna go on one of these road trips.

There’s a long list of people wanting to visit exciting locals such as Tarkio, Mo, Essex, IA, and Herman Nebraska tommy. I mean, I’m practically beating them off with a stick.

I like you. But you're clearly insane and need high doses of serious medication.

I think El Salvador level shitholes are actually only Baltimore and Detroit, and maybe East St Louis types of smaller cities and towns. Parts of the rust belt and Delta and other parts of the South that are just forgotten about shells are also legitimate shitholes but for different reasons. They are more like Australian shotholes that exist or failed simply because of how spread out America is, with the vast majority living in and around population centers like Chicagoland separated by hundreds or thousands of miles. Russia is similar. Those places rely on crumbs and most people who still live there either dont mind or are truly too poor to do anything about it. But there are not many. Maybe a 2-3 million in the US. Those are the truly poor who really do need a handout, if they even want one. Tossing money at the problem is pointless in most cases. They are like parts of Siberia where drinking and beating your wife is all you do with your time. Putin gives them money to keep them drunk.

Everyone else made some shitty personal choices somewhere along the line or had some bad luck, or both. Poverty isnt what it used to be 20 years ago. There are people living in 21st century poverty who have plenty of toys and spend plenty of bad money. Most of those people are living in areas where poor choices extend to most every other aspect of life.

I should say, if you’re there for the games it looked like a blast. As someone needing a hotel room and driving through not so much.

And now reports are emerging that Trump sold a pricey condo in Trump tower to Baby Doc Duvalier laundering money out of Haiti, whilst turning it into a shithole.

I've yet to visit Omaha, but have read that it's actually a great place to live in terms of cost of living, food, and entertainment. University of Nebraska Omaha is at the top of the 2nd tier of potential colleges for my firs born. D1 Hockey towns may have shit weather but they're pretty damn awesome to visit.

There is nothing cool about Herman. It’s where hope goes to die.

I found myself in Omaha this summer. It sucked. The hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina. The weird old guy in the lobby was hitting on a 13 year old boy, the grocery store smelled like a moldy wet mop and most everything worth doing ends by 7pm.
The real loser in Nebraska was big springs. Fuck you big springs. Fuckin children of the corn town. Terrifyjng.

Don't you love the hotel choices in rural America? Holiday Inn Express hosts sadness hour every day at 5:00.

I told you guys about the surprisingly good steak I had at Applebee's recently, right? Though with the bar tab I spent about $50 on one meal at Applebees. :lol:

Old Market neighborhood in Omaha had a decent nightlife, but everything else about Omaha pretty much matches your description. It's not worth staying more than 1 night on a pass-through to somewhere better.
