11 Signs You're From Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha is unlike any place I have ever traveled in the nation. Although I haven't been to all fifty states, I consider my hometown to be one of the best places in the nation and I think a good portion of the population would also agree with me. Omaha, Nebraska is home to over 400,000 people that share some of the same similarities and I've decided to share some of the "signs" you're from Omaha, just in case you forgot.

1. The first thing people ask you when you say you're from Omaha, Nebraska, is "Do you live on a farm?"

It's actually a beautiful city with a population of more than 400,000 people.

2. You don't measure in miles, they measure in time.

If you ask anyone how far away Lincoln is from Omaha, you won't get an answer of about sixty miles, they will tell you about forty-five minutes to an hour because we [almost] all measure in time.

3. We may be having an ice storm of the decade this weekend, but it could be seventy and sunny next week.

4. You see Husker game day is a hallowed event.

5. You have very high expectations for any zoo you visit.

No zoo will ever be as great as the Henry Dorly Zoo, but that's because we already have one of the best and largest. Check the facts here.

6. You play corn hole.

This one is pretty self-explanatory, being from the corn state and all.

7. You prefer Scooters over Starbucks.

8. The farthest you have to drive to the College World Series is twenty minutes.

"Oh wait, that IS in Omaha, isn't it?"

9. You've used wax papers to go down the slides downtown.

... and no matter what age you are, these slides never get old.

10. Temperature Tuesday gave you a reason to be happy about the cold.

The temperature at 6 a.m. would be the price of a Runza (pictured above) for the rest of the day as long as you purchased a medium drink and fry.

11. No matter where you go, you will always love Omaha.
