      That's exactly how I feel about the state motto, "Honestly, it's not for everyone." What that means is that it's for me! I'm from Southern California, but have lived and traveled all over the US and many places around the world. One of the most important things I've learned about travel and living elsewhere is that if someone isn't imaginative enough to explore an area and make their own fun, then I don't want them anywhere near me. I have a great aunt, for example, who has traveled globally way, way more than I ever have, but has only ever eaten at worldwide Burger King franchises. Huh? So if the state slogan weeds out those people, that sounds great. Nebraska is beautiful state with a rich history and largely good people, which is why I'm planning to move to central NE later this fall. I can't wait. I'll be able to have an enriching and more affordable life in a beautiful, interesting area without the shallow superficiality of So Cal.

    I've lived in Nebraska most of my life. I spent time in Arizona, Georgia, and some time in California. I moved back here to raise my family. I own a home mortgage, a new car, and care for my wife and kids financially with one income. My home is 5 times cheaper than it would be in most of California.
    Sure it's "boring" for "teenagers". No mountains, no oceans, no where great to hike. But I already do not like the growth I've seen here in the last decade, Omaha. I left Arizona because of the amount of people and the tempatures. The Midwestern vibes of friendly people was great. But now all these folks are coming from big cities and bringing their negative attitudes, their horrible driving skill, and their politics. They are mucking up the place.
    It's not for everyone is a great motto. Stay away if you have shitty poltical ideas, shitty dispositions, and shitty big city driving.
    If you want to come here and enjoy the great things we have to offer, like a good family life and low homicide rates compared to leftist hellholes, just respect that it's great here because of our culture, don't bring your shitty big city culture that you ran from.

We love it when out of state folks drop in and we get to meet new people. We might ask loads of questions , but it's usually just because we're genuinely interested in YOU.

    As somebody who has lived in Omaha all of my life, never have I seen ANYONE do drugs.
    It's a busy city with a bustling crowd; nowhere to really hide while doing drugs.
    Though, as a Nebraskan, the people here are great. Sweet people, really. The people you meet here are usually kind and honest and generally people with good souls. Some people keep their distance, but those are good people too.
    When I was a kid, I saw a homeless man by a store. A lady came up to the person and gave them about $50 in cash. Really warmed my heart seeing that.
    Nebraska may be boring and not for everyone, but people over here care about it if your cat died.

    Boring or not, I wouldn't change having grown up in Nebraska for anything. Yes, we had to make our own fun, but in doing so, we bonded with our friends in a way that kids just don't do anymore. I can go to my class reunion and have an awesome time seeing the people I grew up and enjoying our shared experiences. I grew up a farmer's daughter in a small village (that's right, a village) and graduated in a class of 17 in all.

      I was born and grew up in rural Nebraska, got my MS in ChemE at UNL and moved to California (SF/Bay Area). There are two things that mark someone as not cool. 1. Referring to San Francisco as Frisco and 2. Referring to California as Cali. I do not miss the extreme humidity of Nebraska summers (nothing like 100% humidity and 100 deg F heat. Good for growing corn and soybeans). I do not miss the brutal Nebraska winters either. I don't miss the constant prairie winds. Then there is the Nebraska spring full of snow slush and people wearing t-shirts and shorts on a 40 deg F day because that is a heat wave when you suffer through 30 consecutive days of below 0 deg F weather. Nebraska's taxes are NOT GOOD. Omaha property taxes will break the bank. Farm property taxes are also high. The whole state relies far too much on property taxes, and the state legislature is continually trying to "reform" the tax base. Nebraska is one of only six states that have an inheritance tax so don't die in Nebraska if you have a sizable estate. If I miss snow, I can get my fix by going to world-class ski resorts in the Sierras and not freeze. Sure, Nebraska can be low cost, but there is nothing out in the rural areas to do but work. Nebraskans are hard workers, honest to a fault and straight shooters. Nebraska is a good place if you love to hunt and fish. You might be able to buy a large house, but get ready when the first utility bill comes due (running the A/C all the time in those oppressive summers and heating that house in the freezing winters gets EXPENSIVE!). My latest gas/electric bill was ~ $232, and I live in a hotter inland section of the Bay Area. Much of the NE rural areas are being depopulated. My high school graduation class numbered 78 back in 1974 (and not counting the girls getting pregnant and dropping out). The same school's 2021 senior class numbered 22 (and one of the largest in recent years). Surrounding smaller school districts averaged 8-10 graduates. Bill Gates is a Corporate Farm Owner, the Nebraska family farm is fast fading. You do have to hustle in the Bay Area, but there are good paying jobs and you can staycation at everyone else's world-class vacation destination. With the proper skill sets, one can make $250-300,000/year in combined salary and benefits.

    As someone from Nebraska, the slogan’s not wrong. It’s truly not for everyone... but I actually love it here. It’s also surprising when I tell people that... just because I’m a college student and most people my age are off to California and Florida. I love the small town vibes where I can know every corner and in places like Omaha there’s seemingly always something going on! It’s also beautiful here, I personally think we have some of the best sunsets in the country. And some of my best memories come from BBQ’s in the country with friends and family. Oh!

Another guy came in to drop his car off then said he needed to go to the store later. The guy behind the counter handed him the keys to a company pickup truck and said go ahead take the truck, its going to be a couple hours. I don't tell it very well but the whole scene reminded me of a scene right out of an Andy Griffith episode.

I didn’t see a tree or even a hill. It was endless farmland and perfectly straight road. It was the late 80’s, I was a 20 year old stud with high hopes and an attitude of rainbows and waterfalls that only the young have the naivety to possess.

      Yep enjoyed some of Nick's mispronunciations. Funny how every state has that. In austin at UT there's a main drag "Guadalupe". Instead of the actual Spanish pronunciation, they say "Guadaloop" and Manchaca" is pronounced "Manchack"

      Your exactly right my friend, when I was in Courpus Christi, Tex, I think it was way back when President Bush attacked Iraq, the news jocky on 98.5 KBAY announced the attack, and that a small western town in nebr named CHAdron, rang a bells when the attack occured. I go to my cousin, it's pronounced SHADRON.

Lots of beautiful things to visit and see in California. Most beautiful was the "Welcome To California" sign in the rear view mirror. Thank God Californians think Nebraska is boring and beneath their standards 😂😅🎉. We sure don't need them coming here.

    LOL you pretty much nailed everything about Nebraska. I moved to Nebraska 5 years ago due to my job relocation. I'm one of those involved with the silicone prairie industry. Pretty much every younger generation I spoke with was surprised that I would move here. They all talk about moving out of Nebraska instead. I don't plan to be here too long either. Keep up the great and entertaining work.

    One thing can be said about many small Midwestern towns: You drive by a Rural King or Farm and Fleet and they don't have a fence around their stuff that's sitting in the parking lot 😳. Also, the 4 block long "downtown" area has active storefronts with huge unbroken glass panes still intacted.

    This is honestly pretty accurate!! I'm a Nebraska native myself and you're pretty dead on. I know that Chadron is pronounced "Shadron" but other than that, pretty dead on. I eat corn with pretty much anything and also love RUNZA!! They even sell out of Runzas at Cornhuskers games! We of course love our Husker sports overall but to me, Football and Volleyball are the biggest Husker sports, but we take every Husker sports seriously haha. It's a pretty friendly state though! Even being african american and born here, it's a great state to meet folks and have friends for sure! Although I don't live here anymore, I always come visit and get my Husker games in and catch up with the folks! Haha😁🌽
