Good point.

I'll give the western Midwest states a pass but the really confusing part here is how anyone in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois/Indiana/Iowa/Ohio can think they aren't in the Midwest...

For Ohio, it's important to remember that the southeast 1/3 of the state is Appalachian foothills. As for the other state, I have no fucking clue

Ohioian here. Its the name. Mid....west. We aren't in the middle of the country, and we're not west. If anything, Maine to Indiana should be called the "North East".

The mid-west should be South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado should be the "Mid-west".

This area might have been the mid-west in the early 1800s, but we gained a crapload of states since then!
