Aim your vehicle like you're heading to Wyoming and you'll see some awe inspiring scenery that can't be found anywhere else. Like most other things in our state, if you're flying through at 80 MPH or at 5000 feet you'll miss the good stuff.

I chose to move to Omaha 2 years ago. I had no ties, family or other reason to move other than I wanted to. I get the question "why" every single time I talk to anyone. I can't answer that in a few words because there were many reasons why I moved here. For every one reason, this at least 10 for why I continue to stay. I am a proud Omahan and appreciate every time I see our city and state recognized locally and globally. I liked John Henry Miller's last paragraph - it says it all!!

I love Omaha. It is hard to tell if what is going on right now in Omaha is a national phenomenon or something exclusive to us. Either way, it is an exciting time to be a start-up in a community like Omaha. What I do know is that Omaha has this great mix of Midwestern work ethic, friendly people, affordable living and progressive creative culture. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

They have a nice downtown area with lots of cool restaurants and bars. The Persian restaurant did serve tortillas instead of pita, but we were happy enough to find a Persian restaurant in Nebraska, we let it slide.

Zara, it'd be great to hear the names of the other startups that are on your mind. Please either reply to this thread or email me at danny@siliconprairienews.com. If I don't recognize one, I look forward to reaching out to it to see if they'd be interested in doing an interview with SPN. Thanks! Allen, thanks again for the opportunity to highlight Omaha.

People move to Omaha thinking of it as a temporary stop, fall in love with it, and end up enjoying the rest of their lives here. As a life long Omahan, there is one pattern I’ve seen over and over.

I just had a great vacation through Nebraska which included the Ashfall fossil beds, the beauty of Niobrara valley, Smith Falls, the Nebraska National Forest, the Cowboy Trail (soon to be the longest bike/hike trail in the country), the Sand Hills golf course (rated the best golf course in the world - that's right , in the world - by Golf.com and others), Toadstool Geological park, the classic town square of Broken bow, the dynamic city of Kearney, the history of Pioneer Village and more. We would have seen more, but we only had a week. Take a second look.

Do some research already- there are other small start-ups in Omaha besides the above mentioned. So tired of the same old names getting all the recognition!
