80th and Western...Near 90th and Dodge, yes? Too close to "mid-town" for me. =) I'd love to be at 180th or so...=) Some nice houses there (mid-town) but...I'm a West O girl. =) Ryan - no.
Funny story about that ... when we were in the market for a house in Omaha we found a new build at 180th and Harrison, wayyyy out there, and Harrison had not yet been turned into a 4-laner. So we looked, liked and decided to buy. A nice three-bed split level on a cul-de-sac with a big back yard across from a park.
The day of the closing my wife calls me crying, saying she doesn't want to live that far west. She said she didn't want to say anything before because she thought I really really wanted to live out there. I said the same thing -- that I only wanted the house because I thought SHE wanted to live out there since it's closer to her parents house.
Needless to say we backed out and thankfully got our down payment back. Now we have a happy little house in midtown. The REAL midtown, not District 66, which you call `midtown.'
And remember -- I went to Westside when it was still kind of on the west side. |
