Is Omaha a real city?

The name doesn't sound american at all, it sounds more like the name of a town in Twinky-Winky World Online or something.

    I think the 90's band 311 is from Omaha, Nebraska. That's pretty much all they've ever offered the world. Well, that and corn.

     The word Omaha (actually UmoNhoN or UmaNhaN) means "Dwellers on the bluff".

    During the late 18th and early 19th century, the Omaha were briefly the most powerful Indians on the Great Plains.

    Today, Omaha is the home to five Fortune 500 companies: ConAgra Foods, Union Pacific Corporation, Mutual of Omaha, Peter Kiewit and Sons, Inc., and Berkshire Hathaway.

    Omaha (pronounced /?o?m?h??/) is the largest city in the state of Nebraska.

    This is exactly what I was going to get at. They've been around like 15 years, and they are still the shit. It suprises me that such a unique sound comes out of Omaha, of all places.

    Did you also know Reno is a real city?

     

    Go to the city (Reno) and start talking to the cops about Reno 911...they really like that. Trust me. :) They'll give you a very special surprise. You'll love it.
