Omaha is a hidden gem! It is the birthplace of Malcolm X, Gabrielle Union, Gale Sayers and many other notable Black people. The Blackstone District and the Old Market are great areas for restaurants, cigar bars, shopping, bars, etc. I recommend staying Downtown or in Blackstone. The Blackstone hotel is very historic. The Great Plains Black History Museum has beautiful artifacts.
This is review 5 of 7 in a group of writings I call, “Outside the Sunshine State, a
Californian’s perspective of the US” . These cities I have all visited and some I
even spent a few years in. The reviews are from my perspective as an outsider
coming into a new place. As with all of my reviews I hope they help someone on
their travels, now, without further delay, let’s get started. This place is where
close family lives so I have visited more frequently than Nashville. Omaha is very
pleasant and again I have had no issues with the locals. Plus side is that the
California Zephar runs through there to Chicago so if you need to get to either destination, consider taking the scenic train route. Once on it, look out the train
window and behold the wonderful world of CORN!! LOL ( there is a lot of corn there
lol). OH, and another interesting fact for any history buffs; Omaha was a stop on the underground railroad! There is even a place you can visit in Omaha (that is now a museum) where run away slaves would hide during their journey to The North!
