All Roads Lead to Omaha

 

 As we were driving through Nebraska, it was getting late in the day and again we did not have a plan for evening.  The bridge on the interstate was closed due to last month's major flooding and the detour put us on local road that headed straight to Omaha.   We were curious about this place.  Everything I knew was extracted from a Mutual Of Omaha Wild Kingdom TV commercial from the 60's.   By sheer luck we ended up in front of the Hotel Deco which was right across the street from the Orpheum Theater. The beautiful historic hotel gave us a ridiculously low rate for the room and we soon learned everything in Omaha was a deal.

We checked, in cleaned up, and went to the theater.  Jersey Boys was playing and there were a few seats left.  If you ever want to see an off off off Broadway version of Jersey Boys for cheap this is the place. Very entertaining. The Omahaians (?) went wild. 

Even the restaurant in the hotel was quite a fancy experience.  Cammie was crooned to by the lounge singer.
We headed out in the morning, not sure if the previous evenings glamfest was even real.  I was expecting cattle ranchers and spittoons.  Never underestimate Omaha.
