Why is Dr. Denenberg in Omaha?

Dr. Denenberg grew up in Omaha, and he still likes it there, that's why.

Also, Omaha's a great place to live. The world doesn't revolve around the coasts exclusively!  Some of our attractions:

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo has

• the world's largest free-flight aviary
• North America's largest cat complex
• the world's largest indoor tropical rain forest
• North America's longest walk-through zig-zag aquarium. You look up to see the sharks swim above you.
• hundreds of exotic animals from around the world

Omaha is home of StratCom, previously Strategic Air Command, on Offutt Air Force base. The SAC Museum has aircraft and missile exhibits on the grounds.

Omaha is the yearly home of the NCAA College World Series.

Ever see 400,000 geese in one field? De Soto National Wildlife Refuge is on the Canadian snow geese migration trail.

Omaha is one end of the original Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific Historical Museum has the largest diesel engine ever built.

Father Flanagan's Boys Town is in Omaha. They have many areas to tour, along with the famous "he ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother" statue.

Omaha is one of very few cities in the U.S. with two medical schools.

Of all the states, Nebraska has one of the highest number of golf courses per capita, and Omaha is home of the world's longest confirmed hole-in-one (444 yards).

And, yes, we have traffic jams, too, but then the light turns green and it all clears out.

OK?
