I'm going to Omaha in May for the annual Berkshire meeting. I have not spent much time in flyover country (aside from flying across it or driving through it), so it will be interesting to see how well I take to it.
As for San Francisco - love visiting when I get the chance. That said, parking can be a bit insane (I absolutely detest the small signs on each meter telling you when you can/can't park - how are you supposed to read all that while driving?), and the foodies here are absolutely nuts when it comes to waiting in line. 2+ hours for Swan Oyster Depot? I've had better oysters elsewhere, and it's quite overpriced. Either way, I will keep coming back - there's so much to explore, and a long weekend is never enough time.
