Contentious issue I know, but recently I’ve encountered a number of people who believe that Ohio (and sometimes Indiana and Michigan) is not truly part of the Midwest. Which to me is preposterous since I’ve always considered Ohio the most quintessentially Midwestern state. Midwest to me has always been very nearly synonymous with rust belt, but it seems there are a fair number of people who place the Midwest more in what I’d call the Great Plains, or Greater Minnesota. So I’m wondering where do you all place the Midwest.
Fuck historical context and tradition. Look at a map of the US. Divide it in half vertically down the middle. See the left side? That’s the West. Now look at the middle of the West: there’s the Midwest.
The Mideast can fuck off. You wanna call yourself Midwest while being in the central and eastern time zones??? Midmid is more accurate in every way.
where tho
At every latitude, the line has to move accordingly. It also includes all overseas territories and military bases
Miami is midwest
More valid than Ohio
If they don’t like it, they can lobby the US to get rid of military bases as needed

alright from lake itasca to la push is the West, the middle of these is located around Havre Montana. Havre is the MidWest. if you wanted to spread the range a bit and count by longitude you could maybe swing Salt Lake City and Phoenix
