City Info
Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska, United States, and is the county seat of Douglas County. It is located in the Midwestern United States on the Missouri River, about 20 miles (30 km) north of the mouth of the Platte River. Omaha is the anchor of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area, with Council Bluffs, Iowa sitting adjacent to Omaha across the Missouri River. According to the 2008 estimate by the United States Census Bureau, Omaha's population was 432,921. The city is the nation's 42nd-largest, according to 2007 U.S. Census Bureau estimates; along with its suburbs Omaha formed the 60th-largest metropolitan area in the United States in 2000, with an estimated population of 829,890 residing in eight counties. There are more than 1.2 million residents within a 50 mile (80 km) radius of the city's center.
Omaha's pioneer period began in 1854 when the city was founded by speculators from neighboring Kanesville, Iowa. The city was founded along the Missouri River, and a crossing called Lone Tree Ferry earned the city its nickname, the "Gateway to the West." During the 19th century Omaha's central location in the United States caused the city to become an important national transportation hub. Throughout the rest of the 19th century the transportation and jobbing sectors were important in the city, along with its railroads and breweries. In the 20th century the Omaha Stockyards and meatpacking plants gained local and national prominence.
The city is the home to five Fortune 500 companies: ConAgra Foods, Union Pacific Corporation, Peter Kiewit and Sons, Inc., Mutual of Omaha Companies, and Berkshire Hathaway, the company headed by legendary investor and so-called Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, the richest person in the world according to Forbes Magazine in 2008. The Gallup Organization, TD Ameritrade, PayPal and LinkedIn all have major operations or headquarters in Omaha. The city also is the home to three of the top 30 architectural and engineering firms in the world: Leo A. Daly Co., HDR, Inc. and DLR Group.
Today the economy of Omaha is diverse and built on skilled knowledge jobs. In 2001 Newsweek identified Omaha as one of the Top 10 high-tech havens in the nation. Six national fiber optic networks converge in Omaha. Tourism in Omaha benefits the city's economy greatly, with the annual College World Series providing important revenue and the city's Henry Doorly Zoo serving as the top attraction in Nebraska.
The historic preservation movement in the city has led to a number of historic structures and districts being designated Omaha Landmarks or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city has a number of ethnic groups represented in its population. Race relations in the city have included a number of riots, lynchings, and recently, gang violence. The diverse culture of Omaha includes a variety of performance venues, museums, and musical heritage, including the historically-significant jazz scene in North Omaha and the modern and influential "Omaha Sound." Sports have been important in Omaha for more than a century, and the city currently hosts four professional sports teams. Omaha also has a number of recreational trails and parks located throughout the city.
Omaha Public Schools is the largest public school district in Nebraska, and the city has a number of Catholic schools. There are eleven colleges and universities among Omaha's higher education institutions, including the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Omaha's Creighton University is ranked the top non-doctoral regional college in the Midwestern United States by U.S. News and World Report.
About Me & My Rental
I\'m very laid back and drama-free. I enjoy movies, especially documentaries, biographies, scary flicks, dramas, most anything other than shoot-em-up adventure flicks and predictable romantic comedies. Yuck. I love to play poker, and we like to get up a rousing game around here so bring your change with you, it\'s very competitive at nickel ante-quarter limit betting. We play all the different kinds of poker, but sometimes spades or also board games like Cranium, Scrabble, Yahtzee, and any you may bring to the table! Joe is moving in June 1, and he has said he also loves to play cards and Scrabble. He\'s a very nice, laid-back kinda guy too!
What I am Looking For...
I\'m definitely looking for someone who fits easily into what it IS and what it ISN\'T here. It ISN\'T a rooming house where roomies drop off the cash and that\'s all we see of them \'til next month. What it IS, is that we all pitch in to cleaning because it\'s not a rooming house where I\'m Ma Kettle who washes all the floors and dishes. It\'s a cooperative. If somebody gets in the mood to cook for everybody (tho it\'s never MADE to be done), then they go to the store, buy the stuff for the food, we all pitch in our third (or fourth or fifth if there are others) of the funds, we get to eat what they offer, and then we remaining clean up for the cook\'s labor. Nice, huh? We all definitely get the better part of the bargain. I know -- I\'ve been on both sides. It\'s so great to cook and then walk away from the dishes! LOL
