> I once was meeting a woman at the omaha airport (which I think is actually in iowa) and asked how I could find her and she said she would be the only one not wearing red. Boy was she right !
The Omaha Airport, Eppley Field, is part of Nebraska, but due to a shift
in the Missouri river in 1877, the airport is surrounded by Iowa on
three sides. In an 1893 Supreme Court decision, the land where nearby
Carter Lake IA is located was ruled to remain part of Iowa even though
it is west of the current flow of the Missouri river.
BTW, some years ago NBC ran a news magazine story called "If it is red,
it will sell in Nebraska". In it, several national retailers acknowledged
that if they have an excess inventory of clothing in red, they will
ship it to their Nebraska stores, where it will sell handily.
