@philsplace @alan If someone just has to have a 'midwest' here is the only area that makes any sense at all. #Midwest

A map of the 'mythical' Midwest area of the USA. This version is the map area north of the Ohio River and the Area north of the Missouri River west until the 100th meridian west

@timo21 @alan

Now you are just messing with me.

The west starts at Colorado and extends to the Pacific ocean.

So… midwest would be around Utah/Nevada.

Seriously tho… the “west” in midwest being west of the eastern seaboard is just wrong.

The “midwest” is really the east “west”… since none of it is in the actual west.

@philsplace @alan Yes, the Midwest USA is a mythical place. Just like 'heartland' is.

@alan @philsplace I'll never accept that the Great Plains of North America count as Midwest. Having lived in both geographies, there is no way that's allowable.
