What do these people like to do? From what I've heard there is some good momentum concerning younger people enjoying living in Omaha these days. There are quite a few colleges and universities, including highly rated Creighton and UN Medical Center. The Missouri River area has been developed recently and a pedestrian bridge will be added soon. It has a world class zoo, brand new performing arts center, convention center, art museum, botanic garden and outstanding restaurants. Its Indie music scene has become quite well known and its produced Bright Eyes and 311. It has had 5 fortune 500 companies for many years, quite a few for its size. Buffett money has had a positive influence on it, not because Warren gives his away, but his investors have. Negatives IMO are not enough bike trails and public land, and weather.
Oh and the botanical garden can't even compare to the one here due to ours being like the 3rd best after one in France somewhere. I took a college class in stl history and there's a lot here that's left over even if the rest of the city went to $hit. I'm sure the Oracle effect isn't bad though.
I forget what prompted him, but he asked why the local club had no Jewish members. The response came back that it had never had Jewish members.
Buffett announced that since it appeared that the club had an informal discriminatory policy, he didn't feel any need to continue to be a member of the club.
Needless to say, the club now has Jewish members ;-).
Sometimes the world can be changed, one small step at a time.
