I worked for omaha ambulance service in the 90's. If you ever worked there or work there now ,I pray for you. I lived on 15th and Leavenworth streets near the old market. Great memories. Now I live in pennsylvania.
I agree with you. I'm from Omaha, too but I live in michigan now. However, I still consider Omaha to be my home. I love the city and have lots of great memories.
This was good in that I got to see the place he is singing about. I'm in Australia and before Omaha was just a bloody beach. Now I know its a place and what it looks like. I feel a bit like I've visited while a good song played. Thanks.
This is a great vid 5 stars. Love the shots you got here Omaha what can i say, i love my city i dont want to leave it at all. Thank you Counting Crows and thank you jimnik1. Loved it
i've only lived as far as illionis but i relate to this the midwest is kool.much respect to the people that live and have lived there you are the real america.
i go to school at nebraska omaha and im from minnesota and its very very mild compared to minnesota its a really nice place if you like some cold but not too cold
We are so much bigger then lincoln. Almost 300,000 more people live in Omaha then Lincoln (city limits). Omaha was the capitol for a while but it was moved to Lincoln when Nebraska became a state. People had in mind the Lincoln would become one of the largest cities in the midwest. It is but it is no where near Omaha's capacity and excitment. Omaha is a great place to live.
hello from paris, france. thanks to see me what nebraska looks like. I'm interested in it since I heard bruce springsteen's Nebraska song. counting crows are only known in France with "Mister Jones" but I like her voice. mercy christmas
You can ALWAYS find something to do in Nebraska? It might seem flat and boring on the interstate? But it is a rich, beautiful treasure? It might take some time getting from here to there? But here, it IS the destination AND the journey?
I grew uo in the Mid-west, Mostly in Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. And yep, Nebraska too. I always hated the heartland of America, cause most of the peeps are cold. Great song, but I think, if ya listen close, you'll hear that he isn't really singing about a Nebraska town. It goes deeper than that ;)
And, the video is great, shows some of the OLD forgotten buildings that are actually a part of the western culture of America, not the shit that was built in the yr. 2000 ;) Parts of the original Omaha that NONE of us are old enough to remember =)
@omahabee OK thank you. I almost moved back to Nebraska a few years ago for a job offer in Freemont. I was looking at homes in the Elkhorn area. I think if I ever moved back there, I would live near the outskirts or possibly in Lincoln. I live in Arizona now and this state is as conservative as it gets believe it or not. However there is a small minority of liberals who seem to have a lot of power for some reason. We've enacted some laws that would allow police officers ask if your an illegal.
Yes there is. There is a lot more to Nebraska. Google and watch "About Schmidt". It stars Jack Nicholson. It is set in Nebraska. He works at Woodman. YES, it's THAT Jack Nicholson. lol. Great movie! It's on you tube.
Scroll down to my response to the woman from France? And you can see what Nebraska has to offer? Get OUT of Omaha? And enjoy this beautiful state, and all it has to offer? Canyons, waterfalls, grasslands, badlands, it's actually an INCREDIBLE diverse state? Google is your friend? You can find so much beauty here in Nebraska? Why go anywhere else? The possibilities are ENDLESS? Vacation in Nebraska? There IS no place like Nebraska?
ok first of all millard has been annexed. second the gang violence has gone down. the construction problems are something that every big city has to live with. plus they always get projects done early. omaha has been voted one of the top 3 places to live in. (nation) Omaha is great and is only improving.
omaha is bigger then oakland minneapolis miami and many others, so yes i think it is big. the construction is not the best i will agree but they always do get done early, maybe its just the way they set up you don't like or something. Millard was annexed by Omaha in the 60's but i do believe there were some left out parts that weren't annexed. you might be one of them. i just talked to somebody about this today who is in the same boat so...
I'm from Nebraska and this video does nothing for Omaha. This video would have been a lot better if it had included pics of iconic pieces.... Woodman Tower, Creighton University, Old Town, Henry Doorly.... the list could go on and on. Heck most people don't even know that Omaha is the home to the largest community theatre in the US which was started by Marlon Brando's mother.... Omaha has a lot of culture and even with the gangs and growing violence it's a beautiful city.
They have done really bad recently. Bo Pelini is the new coach after Bill Callahan led the Huskers to a 5-7 season. Here's hoping the Big Red can get their stuff together this year.
Not so good. This past season the football team went 5-7. The coach, Bill Callahan, was fired and replaced by Bo Pelini. Here's hoping things go back to the way they used to be.
no, it kinda is lame....i don't know how you do it better justice. growing up in Nebraska, going to Lincoln or Omaha was "vacation"...that's not vacation for anyone else in the country
Well sadly, Mr. Jones, (while a good song) is their worst song, and WAY over played. Even Round Here is alot better and is probably played once to a hundred times for Mr. Jones. Listen to more of theirs, especially August and Everything After (album title) Oh and the singer is a guy.
Thanks for giving a crows fan who loves this song a glimpse of "Omaha"...hope y'all feel honored at the recognition.
this song brings back alot of good memorysgood times and good friends
Wow, I love this song with a passion. Can't beat Counting Crows.
I was born in this city...and I love this video...this is the way the Crows should have done their video....Awesome shots.
I worked for omaha ambulance service in the 90's. If you ever worked there or work there now ,I pray for you. I lived on 15th and Leavenworth streets near the old market. Great memories. Now I live in pennsylvania.
Omaha wants all its former residents and commuters back. Seriously consider coming back to Omaha, it's a wonderful town. I love it dearly.
Currently in Lincoln, NE, studying at UNL. Still, Omaha will always be my home.
I agree with you. I'm from Omaha, too but I live in michigan now. However, I still consider Omaha to be my home. I love the city and have lots of great memories.
I used to live in Omaha and coming from Kansas City, it's alot smaller, but I loved it. I really miss it. The environment was fun.
This is a GREAT song!!! The weaving thing is so excellent.
As much as I hated living in Omaha, because I had lived there my whole life. I really miss it. I miss all my friends and family who are there.
This was good in that I got to see the place he is singing about. I'm in Australia and before Omaha was just a bloody beach. Now I know its a place and what it looks like. I feel a bit like I've visited while a good song played. Thanks.
This is a great vid 5 stars. Love the shots you got here Omaha what can i say, i love my city i dont want to leave it at all. Thank you Counting Crows and thank you jimnik1. Loved it
Come Home Rick... Omaha misses you... We will let you come back anytime you want...
WestO kid..

I'm originally from san diego;
I don't plan on moving back anytime soon
Listening to this song makes me feel homesick of OMAHA
i've only lived as far as illionis but i relate to this the midwest is kool.much respect to the people that live and have lived there you are the real america.

i was born and raised in omaha and i have yet to find a city that i like more.

Nice video!!!
Awesome band... and excellent Omaha song.
Don´t foget Omaha is in the middle of America!!!!
omaha is the best place to live in my mind i should know i live there.
This song is not about Omaha. It's about the Counting Crows.
It's the heart that matters more!
Best one I seen yet
i know what you mean about good times indeed, brings back even more
been there .....hi to all of nebraska....kool place if you look at it right.

Know all these places-Home.
There's a lot more to Omaha than what's shown in these pictures.
@omahabee OK thank you. I almost moved back to Nebraska a few years ago for a job offer in Freemont. I was looking at homes in the Elkhorn area. I think if I ever moved back there, I would live near the outskirts or possibly in Lincoln.

I miss that dirty river town.
Naw the people seem cool around here. A lot cooler then the people in Lincoln.
this song makes me think of the College World Series, Rosseblatte

Im not a huge song either but im a huge fan lol :P but jokes aside i agree this song is awesome.
i was born in omaha :)

Once I become a police officer here in MA I'm totally gonna try for new placement job over there in NE. I fucking miss it so much.
You'r right. It is Middle America...
Where is the old model t taxi on the roof of safeway cab? It is on leavenworth next to the leavenworth loft apartments near the old market.
at 1:38. thats RIGHHTTT by my housee.!
They have done really bad recently. Bo Pelini is the new coach after Bill Callahan led the Huskers to a 5-7 season. Here's hoping the Big Red can get their stuff together this year.
welcome to a metropolitan area of 1.2 million people. it happens
lol theres banjo in this song
No pictures of Peyton Manning?
oh ---- come on ---- the town isn't that bad
it's just a typical american city in my point of view
@neneta81
I should hope so.. you can't show "all of a city" in a few still pictures lol.
Not so good. This past season the football team went 5-7. The coach, Bill Callahan, was fired and replaced by Bo Pelini. Here's hoping things go back to the way they used to be.
no, it kinda is lame....i don't know how you do it better justice. growing up in Nebraska, going to Lincoln or Omaha was "vacation"...that's not vacation for anyone else in the country
cincinnati is the shiz
Actually I'm living on west maple. But Omaha doesn't seem that spectacular compare to Denver or Dallas,
this was not doing the city justice. its not quite as lame as the pictures portray it to be.
Cool vid. I could almost smell the meth smoke.
hahah omaha's is actually 4th
Memphis is number 1
You must be crazy to say that because I think Omaha has more crime then Denver. Denver is the shit!! Colorado probably the best state in America.
I love the nothingness of Omaha. Complete middle America....
Well sadly, Mr. Jones, (while a good song) is their worst song, and WAY over played. Even Round Here is alot better and is probably played once to a hundred times for Mr. Jones. Listen to more of theirs, especially August and Everything After (album title)
Oh and the singer is a guy.
