Home of the TV dinner, the Reuben sandwich (there’s some controversy over the originator but Omaha’s in the running), the one-time richest man in the Universe-Warren Buffet, five Fortune 500 companies, the largest indoor rainforest, and birthplace of Malcolm X. They also have a ton of thrift, antique, and junk stores because he says jokingly, “we have no future so we’re tied to the past”. Conner, Dan, and I rode our bikes down to the Old Market area (so cute!) and the boys went to go get a beer while I antiqued it up. I went to three stores in two hours. They’re huge with so many hidden rooms to scope out that before you know it, you’re down in the basement and you still have an hours worth of looking to go. My favorite was Second Chance on Jackson St downtown. I snuck a couple photos in.

Ben was super sweet and organized a last-minute acoustic gig for the boys at O'Leavers Pub. If I lived in Omaha this would probably be my go-to bar as well. They even sponsor an adult Soapbox Derby. How fun would that be? Probably a lot.
