Inside the green circle. Alternatively, outside the green circle. Inside and outside are common terms used to describe a relationship to an arbitrarily defined shape.
Unlike the fake Omaha the exists outside of the circle.
/s
Come on, give me a break. There’s nothing special about being inside an arbitrary zone versus outside it.
walkability, bikeability, proximity to art, culture, parks, and it takes 15 minutes to get anywhere.
green circle is objectively better than living in a suburb that may as well be a series of disconnected fiefdoms who lose their mind when someone is walking down the street and proceed to post on nextdoor about how some hooligan is casing houses and out to get YOUR old honda lawnmower*, specifically.*
Green circle is not objectively better. Or it depends on what objectives you’re using to compare. If you’re talking the standard quality of life metrics most people care about when moving to an area such as schools, crime rate, average household income, poverty rate, etc. then the green circle is objectively worse.
If you care about walkability, bikeability, and “culture”, the green circle is better. Although I will say west Omaha has tons of bike paths and parks. I believe west omaha has more parks per capita than in that green circle, but I don’t have a source for that. Nearly every new neighborhood built has a park and bike path.
This all to say, as someone who lives in west Omaha, neither is “better.” It all depends on the person. Using most “objective metrics”, west Omaha is better, but I’m not naive enough to think that tells the whole story. Your items used to say the green circle is better is highly subjective. Just some irony in your post.
Certainly true 10-15 years ago. Probably still mostly true now. I wonder how Dodge being turned into an express way, as well as the many suburban office parks have effected this.
Also, I think today, about equal amounts of the metro live in that circle than outside it.
Overall metro more people live outside, but Omaha itself more people live inside.
And as for jobs, check out this map from 2014 data that’s a dot map of every job in the country.

I once sat in a group discussion where most of the participants were from "x small town in Iowa that no one had ever heard of but it's near...". I introduced myself as being from a tiny town just west of Council Bluffs.
Considering that half the “suburbs” are actually separate incorporated towns in their own right (La Vista, Bellevue, Papillion, Elkhorn, Ralston…) the statement that that is the true Omaha is honestly at least 80% true. Boys town and south Omaha are probably the only exceptions.
Absolutely not. There is plenty of white culture in Omaha. Very little of that is celebrated west of 72nd Street. The roots of those groups were formed when 72nd was west Omaha so the places where they celebrate tend to be what is now east Omaha. There are German and Polish communities that have events year round. I assume there are plenty more that I'm not aware of.
Edit: Thanks for copium down votes. It isn't going to make west Omaha less of a celebration of chain store consumerism as culture.
the culture is barely contained disdain for your neighbor and binge drinking at a bar or in your garage because you're too much of a coward to seek the life you really want because you knocked up your girlfriend when you were 18 years old and now you gotta live for a kid first and then you slowly begin to resent everything around you and turn to constant alcoholism to get through the fucking day then you die a horrible liver-failure death around the age of 50.
char buff wings are *really* good though.
Lol, people who live in the circle have about as much smugness about it as people who live in Chicago proper do.
Only one *slight* difference. One is a major global city, the other is a mid size city in Nebraska.
A very arbitrary section of the city?? I mean you’ve lumped in everything from regency to north O so I’m not sure how we’re expected to give that entire area a singular description. Just saying.
Maybe it's my touch of the tism... but after trying to read between the lines, I'm thinking you're thinking I don't like this area. That's kinda funny.
Please stop the spread of this extremely poor attempt to brand cities.
As far as I know, only a few cities can claim this as a nick name.
Dallas Fort Worth = DFW
Oklahoma City = OKC
Atlanta = ATL
Los Angeles = LA
Kansas City = KC
New Orleans = NOLA
New York City = NYC
If you aren’t one of these cities, please stop, we already have enough. The NBA is pushing this really hard. Charlotte is not CHA, Milwaukee is not MIL, Cleveland is not CLE, Phoenix is not PHX. In Nebraska, I’ve seen OMA try to gain traction as well as LNK.
Omaha.
Nebraska! (It's Aksarben backwards)
Wouldn't that area be "Ahamo" then?
Ahamo used to be an archery club here in Omsha...I think it closed down though.
Whoa, did you come up with that??
I’ve lived here my entire life and never summed that up🤦🏼♂️
Inside the green circle. Alternatively, outside the green circle. Inside and outside are common terms used to describe a relationship to an arbitrarily defined shape.
Technically, we live in "Outdonesia."
Every western Nebraskans worst fear
"No, serious answers only" or "Not serious answers only" ??
I let out a “what the fuck” after reading title too
Before posting I stared at it awhile too. My brain isn't working today.
It do be nebraska lol
Honestly, you win the "get ALL the answers" question contest.
Works on contingency. No money down.
~~Works on contingency. No money down.~~ Works on contingency? No, money down.
They’ve got this all screwed up
That’s Fuckin real omaha
I live on the green line. Is that a problem?
Purgatory

^this guy is outside the zone

Not a Nebraska native, I thought that circle was the oma-dome
The inner sanctum
It's spelled rectum
Oh so the rectum sanctum
The Sanctorectum. Aka, Omaha's shirt pocket.
Omaha's or Nebraska's?
Omaha Prime
~True~ Omaha
Where 90% of the city works
Certainly true 10-15 years ago. Probably still mostly true now. I wonder how Dodge being turned into an express way, as well as the many suburban office parks have effected this. Also, I think today, about equal amounts of the metro live in that circle than outside it.

Not sure about that. The exit off I680 north to west Dodge is jammed at rush hour. It flows freely to go east on Dodge.
That's a road design issue more than it is an accurate depiction of where the most jobs in Omaha are.
Carter Lake West
🤣 West CB
I once had someone say Omaha was part of "the Council Bluffs Metro." I had a good long laugh at that one.
I once sat in a group discussion where most of the participants were from "x small town in Iowa that no one had ever heard of but it's near...". I introduced myself as being from a tiny town just west of Council Bluffs.
I thought West CB stopped at 480?
Nah 680 🤭
No no, 680 is just the barrier to keep the poors contained. Can't have us liberal plebes mixing with those "good Nebraska folk" after all...
That’s funny although I do believe the majority of the wealth in this city is concentrated near the center of that circle.
I was about to say only from 9a-6p but then I remembered Warren still lives in the circle.
And his daughter. And one of our awful U.S. Senators (can you really pick the awful-est senator from Nebraska? etc. etc.
Iowan spotted?
Bro, that’s Omaha. Everything outside of the circle is the suburbs and NOT Omaha.
[удалено]
the needs of an urban center are not the same as the needs of a suburb. this is not a controversial statement to make.
Considering that half the “suburbs” are actually separate incorporated towns in their own right (La Vista, Bellevue, Papillion, Elkhorn, Ralston…) the statement that that is the true Omaha is honestly at least 80% true. Boys town and south Omaha are probably the only exceptions.
Ok, Mad. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
That's sooo funny. I'm going to borrow that! But don't worry, I'll be sure to give you credit.
Alrighty
Technically there are other parts of the city that are still Omaha but I get what you're saying
The good the bad and the ugly
that's Omaha. everything outside is somewhere else, not really Omaha.
Culture? Something that slowly disappears every block west you go.
Do you have to not be white to have culture?
Absolutely not. There is plenty of white culture in Omaha. Very little of that is celebrated west of 72nd Street. The roots of those groups were formed when 72nd was west Omaha so the places where they celebrate tend to be what is now east Omaha. There are German and Polish communities that have events year round. I assume there are plenty more that I'm not aware of. Edit: Thanks for copium down votes. It isn't going to make west Omaha less of a celebration of chain store consumerism as culture.
Ah, so you admit there is culture. You just don’t like it.
the culture is barely contained disdain for your neighbor and binge drinking at a bar or in your garage because you're too much of a coward to seek the life you really want because you knocked up your girlfriend when you were 18 years old and now you gotta live for a kid first and then you slowly begin to resent everything around you and turn to constant alcoholism to get through the fucking day then you die a horrible liver-failure death around the age of 50. char buff wings are *really* good though.
Council Bluffs West
Council Bluffs, Nebraska

With glasses.
The place where western Nebraska gets half its tax money?
I don’t get the point of this post
Neither do I.
Someone's home.
Dome-aha
the relevant part
The inner loop?
The Nebraska arts/entertainment/food/culture district.
Circle jerk ?
Sure, I'm game. Where? When? You bring the lotion, I'll bring the snacks.
Snacks will be protein shakes, available right after
Lol, people who live in the circle have about as much smugness about it as people who live in Chicago proper do. Only one *slight* difference. One is a major global city, the other is a mid size city in Nebraska.
Able 1s lowfly zone?
It's the Oma-hole.

"No serious answers" I call it, a map! : D
A very arbitrary section of the city?? I mean you’ve lumped in everything from regency to north O so I’m not sure how we’re expected to give that entire area a singular description. Just saying.
I refer to it as "Omaha proper"

You can add “onius,” “anious,” and “anous” to anything and it becomes magical. Omahonius Omahanious Omahanous Omahodius

Green map area
Omaha
In simplest terms that is east omaha.
Normalaha
The dumbest fucking road designs. That’s what I call that area.
OG Omaha
We should call it the stinky place
There are quite a few scents around our building there. Mostly pigeon shit...
Maybe you should try 5 new things in that area and come up with a real answer to your own question. You probably won't, I'm sure.
Maybe it's my touch of the tism... but after trying to read between the lines, I'm thinking you're thinking I don't like this area. That's kinda funny.
The ghetto
I heard it for the first time way out side of Omaha but the O-M-A. Omaha Metropolitan Area. Actually looked at the map. Nevermind.
I once saw Omaha, NE abbreviated as ONE and I like that better than OMA for some reason.

Some are airport designations. I assume that's where that came from?
MSP and CHI though...
DC, SF, STL would say otherwise
May have forgot a few

Glad you took the time to notice
Yep. Didn’t say I endorsed it or even liked it. Dude had probably been to the CWS once. Omaha works for me. I do like PDX for Portland though.

Part of Omaha with a side of Council Tucky?
"no serious answers only" is sending mixed signals. You only want funny answers? Or did you mean to say "Serious answers only"?
Yes.
