i'm going to be in omaha in late march, any thoughts as to what can i expect weather wise. also, any good places to eat or interesting things to see out in the country?
 
As far as the weather goes, March came in like a lamb, so expect the lion at the end! LOL
Alot of the good restaurants have closed, due to the casinos over in Iowa. So, I guess the good places to eat ARE at the casinos? I have only been once, and was not THAT impressed! There is a little dive called Petrows, that has served Warren Buffet and Bill Gates when Bill was in town. They posted on their marque that 'Two Billionairs Served'. That would be a good lunch or dinner.
The air museum is a good stop. They are at exit 426 on I80-about 20 miles west of Omaha. They have a HUGE building, and losts of airplanes inside-including a B52!
 
PETE,

You could check out Farmall Land USA in Avoca IA if it is open. It is about 30 mins east of Omaha. I am a big fan of Parkers Smokehouse. Just off the interstate at Ashland. David Lettermans home office (phone booth) used to be in Wahoo Ne about 30 mins West of Omaha.
 
The UPRR museum in Council Bluffs, the Bertrand steamboat museum at Desoto Bend, just north of Omaha 20 minutes, by late March the Bend should have a few thousand migrating geese and ducks. For steak houses, Piccolo Petes, Anthonys, Johnnys, Cascios, The Spaghetti Works, for good ordinary food, The Summer Kitchen.
 
I think you will! We are getting alittle snow yesterday and today, but it is not sticking! I hope by the end of the month most of that would be gone for this season! Greg
 
thanks for all the responses, am looking forward to seeing omaha. what about native indians near there?
 
We have several tribal reservations just North. Hwy 75 is a winding road that runs thru at least one between here and Sioux City. There is one really neat Missouri River overlook that has lots of Indian history posted at it. Greg
