Omaha has changed in many ways. The Old Market has been revamped in ridding the area of rundown buildings for lofts and apartments, the city has 2 Arenas (Qwest and Civic) along with a very nice Convention Center. A new ballpark (future home of the Creighton Bluejays and CWS) will be opening in 2011 (RIP Rooseblatt ... nice stadium but no more improvements can be made to it without losing its appeal). The city has grown immensely in size to a modest 600,000 people (+/- a couple of 1000). Not to mention the opening of the West Dodge Expressway a couple of years back (who would have ever thought of Omaha having an elevated Expressway?) Elkhorn has been annexed into the city limits after a nasty court battle (Sorry Elkhorn but it was only time). Watch out Bennington, Valely and Waterloo, your next!! King Louie's Rose Bowl, The Ranch Bowl are gone and now the lots have been replaced by Wal-Mart and Mid-K Beauty Supply. The changes just go on and on as there are so many changes that it is nearly impossible to recall / mention. Born and raised in Omaha, NE (1972) and been here my entire life. Hope Omaha keeps growing and here is to the future of obtaining legalized gambling (Casinos) so we no longer have to pump up Council Bluffs' economy (folks out in western Nebraska and Religious groups can cry all they want until budget cuts affect them: ie: School Consolidations in Western Nebraska and the towns folk didn't like that. Allow gambling and your schools would have been saved). Sorry for that rant but I am all for legalized Gambling in Omaha, not just Keno and Powerball.
