This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is your house surrounded on all sides by corn?

Does Napoleon Dynamite seem like a documentary about your town?

Then you live in the Midwest.

Napoleon dynamite takes peace in Idaho. It has a very rural theme to it, but it's not Midwest.

Exactly. It's not geographically midwest, but it embodies an idea of the midwest.

An endless patchwork of green and yellow squares. Countryside but not natural.
