We may be country-fried hicks out in these parts, but I thought that I should note that there really is more than one place where you can go from Iowa into Nebraska (or vice versa).

Heck, because of movement of the Missorui River, it is possible to go East from Iowa into Nebraska.

I come close to agreeing with you, but from the other direction. Calling Lincoln a big city is a hell of a stretch. Hell, calling Omaha a big city is a stretch. (Then again, I think calling Boston a big city is a stretch, too)
