I'm not sure about the Omaha part (memory failure), but, yes, it did take place in Nebraska. I read about it in (where else?) The New Yorker long before the film was made.
(I haven't seen the film. In the movie, did they change the setting to Texas?)

According to Wikipedia it happened in Falls City, Nebraska.

Thanks so much!
In fact, probably because of this song, I thought the story of "Boys Don't Cry" had taken place in Texas, when it really happened in Nebraska! That's why I was going on about Texas in my OP. Sorry, forget about it!

Do you mean in TEXAS???
Louise said it, it actually took place in Nebraska, but the song "the bluest eyes in Texas" made me think the story occurred there.
