When I grew up there I never had the feeling that downtown Omaha was a ghost town because almost no pedestrians is all I knew. Now, 43 years after I moved away that's exactly the feeling I get; ghost town because since then I've lived in and travelled around dozens cities where the downtown area is swarming with people on the sidewalks especially in Latin America where I live now. But, in Omaha nobody ever came up to me and asked for money EVER. I never knew there was such a thing as homeless people. There was no grafitti and still not, looks like. I used to go downtown with my dad and when he parked he would just leave the keys in the ignition. Nobody was gonna steal your car. We did have a key to our front door, I think, but we never locked it. Nobody was gonna come into your house. It was a beautiful way to grow up. The Big O.

And it’s still a great city. I wish to add, this was a Sunday. Not uncommon to see things a bit slower in these Midwest cities on Sundays.

My mom grew up in North Omaha. She spent her childhood at Miller Park school. Anyway, I'm taliking about the early 1950's when I was a kid. I'm gonna be 78 next month. So consider that in those days things were different. As an adult I lived North of Hamilton on 35th and got burgled. @@benjohnson2205

Cool. That’s the main (and only) East + West highway, most people travel that. Thanks for watching!

I'm super confused. I thought this was a film of downtown Omaha. However, there wasnt any footage of the re-designed Gene Leahy mall, or the Heartland park. Or the Old Market. Or the FNBO building with the statues that are all over that area. There are some cool things in downtown Omaha that I feel should have been shown here instead of leading us out of downtown to mid-town and then to south 60th which is definitely not downtown.

Thanks for watching. This is a road tour video of Omaha. We do go downtown Omaha, but we can’t possibly go everywhere. Our videos are about 25 mins long on average, people’s attention span is typically no longer than 5 mins on average. We go downtown & around downtown.

Still looks like a very nice city. The downtown looks similar to Salt Lake City, but without the homeless drug addict zombies. I didn't see any homeless tents along the way. We need to see more of the main city and residential areas. Would like to see the bad areas of the city too. The city has great potential. Population growth should be much greater than it is. The very cold winters is probably the most compelling reason for people not wanting to live in this nice city.

We agree! It’s a great Midwestern city. And they are building a new tall skyscraper for the HQ for Omaha Mutual. We pass that site and you can see the banner advertising that. Thanks for watching!! Please subscribe to our channel if you haven’t. We have 150+ video tours and growing every day.
