Elgin, don't they make sausages?? He he, probably not one and the same, but who knows, I'm actually from Ft. Hood, TX. My DH is from Spalding, which I affectionately refer to as !@#$%^ outside of civilization! I'm more of a bigger city girl myself....
Omaha is about as small as I would probably go myself... I miss Denver for all the wrong reasons (young, and there was plenty of trouble). I don't go out to Western Nebraska much - we take a camping trip up to the Niobrara River every year on Father's Day weekend... (OPEN INVITE IF ANYONE WANTS TO CAMP!)
