20 Reasons We Love Nebraska

Nebraska is where Midwest meets West, literally. Geographers identify the 100th meridian, which nearly halves the state, as the boundary between the two regions. But travelers don't need a sign to recognize the divide. As in frontier days, the majority of Cornhuskers live in the state's eastern half, and out west, the sun still sets over vast grasslands and yucca-capped buttes.
