Another Omaha plug

You better get used to them.

Go here to listen to NPR's Kurt Andersen's audio tour of his hometown Omaha for Studio 360. Here is a short description:

"Kurt heads back to his hometown. No longer just beef and Warren Buffett, Kurt finds a vibrant indie rock, film, and visual arts scene there. Artists, politicians and philanthropists – including filmmaker Alexander Payne and Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst – tell us what makes Omaha so nice to come home to. And we hear from other musicians on Omaha’s hot Saddle Creek label, including the tap-dancing percussionists of Tilly and the Wall. Produced by Derek John and Pejk Malinovski."

Or if interactive maps are more your fancy, you can peruse the Interactive Omaha Arts Map on this same site, with markers for the cultural stops noted in the audio tour.

i think maybe you should be seeking a job in the omaha tourist promotion office, as you seem to be very suited for such a position. actually you should consider writing a cultural guide book to omaha based on your extensive research and personal experience.

Those are both very good ideas. Thanks!
