1. Omaha was once big enough to co-host the NBA Kings with Kansas City in the early 1970s (look it up, they were known for a few years as the "Kansas City-Omaha Kings"):


2. San Angelo, IIRC, also is one of the largest city/metro areas in the continental US not served by an interstate highway or a limited access interstate-type highway.

3. When I went to grad school at Georgia Tech in the late 80s, I became familiar with a nickname for Augusta-- "Disgusta". Never saw for myself whether or not it was true.

What is your obsession with city proper populations?

Metro is what matters.

If you only went by city limits, Lubbock is the same as Pittsburgh.

When I was at LSU, one of my professors told us that in the largest 250 US cites, the only city that had a larger income gap between whites and blacks than New Orleans, was Omaha.

Omaha still has bad crime. The SA's there mean business.

North of North Omaha is fine. Des Moines is a great city to live in, as is Grand Rapids. Just saw a list today and Grand Rapids was top 12 and Des Moines was the #4 best place to live in the country. This was big and smaller cities as Seattle and Twin Cities were both on the list.

Yea that’s a busy one (lived there 8 years), but I’d be surprised if it out-paces the one on Ambassador in Lafayette. It’s line routinely backs up traffic on Ambassador.
