Omaha is located smack in the middle of the country\u2014and many of us fly right over it without much thought. But Omaha is one of the country\u2019s best kept secrets. Here are six fun facts about billionaire Warren Buffett\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n
Omaha\u2019s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium<\/a>\u00a0is dedicated to conservation around the globe and home to the world\u2019s largest indoor desert, world\u2019s largest glazed geodesic dome, and North America\u2019s largest indoor rainforest. That makes it an amazing place to spend a day, anytime of the year.<\/p>\n The cost of living in Omaha is lower than the average for the rest of the country. Renters can expect to pay about $100 less a month, according to U.S. News & World Report<\/em>, while the median home sale price is $165, 667 (compared to a national average of $222,408). What\u2019s more, Omaha ranked #28 out of 125 metro areas in the ranking of the best places to live.<\/p>\n Nebraska is farm country, so it should come as no surprise that Omaha is a leader in the farm-to-fork movement. Taste for yourself by checking out restaurants like The Grey Plume<\/a> and Kitchen Table<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you follow business, you know that billionaire Warren Buffett was born here and still lives here. But what may be surprising is that thousands of shareholders flock to the city for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, which is often referred to as \u201cWoodstock for Capitalists.\u201d<\/p>\n This 3,000-foot-long Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge crosses the Missouri River\u2014and also connects the states of Nebraska and Iowa. Walk halfway across, put a foot in each state and you\u2019ll be doing what the locals call \u201cBobbing.\u201d<\/p>\n Cake mix, butter brickle ice cream, and TV dinners were all invented in Omaha.
