#83 of 365~Omaha/Nebraska/My Home

I love my city, my state, my home.  Nebraska-the good life.  Everyday I am amazed at how much this place is changing.  No longer is it the boring city of my childhood.  It is a thriving destination for hipsters and underground music junkies, Berkshire holders and Borsheim lovers.  Our neighborhoods have been formed into authentic countries like "Little Italy" and "Little Mexico."  Foodies grace the tables of every small "up and coming" kitchen that promotes grass-fed meat, organic dairy, and local grown fruits and vegetables.  Our parks are abundant and beautiful.  The Henry Doorly Zoo is among the top in the nation while our botanical gardens and state parks offer so much to keep an individual busy.  Nebraskans are notorious for their love for football and tend to make it a family affair proudly promoting "The BIG Red."  Artist, Fashion and Graphic designers come from all over the country wanting to get into our museums, our galleries, intern for our companies.  Why?  Because Nebraska IS the good life.  We offer more than we ever thought could be possible.  We have watched timeless buildings be torn down in the name of progress and yet, we have maintained our traditions.  Nebraska is a place where we are encouraged to dream...and then go work for it.  Nebraska is home.
