Omaha, Nebraska

Population: 390,007

Omaha's nickname, "The Gateway to the West," applies as much to its historical role as a 19th century transportation hub as to the modern opportunities it provides for art lovers and culture seekers. Local independent music labels like Saddle Creek have forged the internationally recognized "Omaha Sound" style of rock music, while the hugely popular Omaha Community Playhouse highlights the city's rich dramatic tradition. Unique shops, restaurants and clubs line the cobblestone roads of downtown's Old Market district, where the lovely brick buildings mingle Omaha's rich cultural resources with its penchant for historic preservation and urban beauty.
