My wife and I spent seven years going to school and working in Omaha. It's a nice little city, but if someone valued the benefits of urban life (restaurants, sports, social events, public transit, etc.), I think they would eventually be disappointed. We left Omaha feeling like we'd basically finished the city, like it was a level in a game - in the 3ish years after broke-college-student status, we had tried pretty much every interesting restaurant, checked out the social events that were available to people in the post-college, pre-kids bracket, and there just wasn't much novelty left. We moved to Chicago for work a few years back and we still haven't scraped the surface of life here. Are there problems with Chicago? Of course. But the quality of life is dramatically improved for this sample size of two.
