Have you met anyone from Western Pennsylvania? You'd understand a number of them not knowing where they are on a map!

Lol I kid. Western PA, aka Pennsyltucky, is our Florida Man territory.

Ohio I definitely consider the start of the Midwest.

The others are right though mentioning the obscene number of rebel flags in PA though. My brother was guilty of it for a while in sad to say too. I'm in the Southeast, the most metropolitan part of the state, and they're all over. They're usually hung next to the MAGA stuff, which I'm sure comes as little surprise. Honestly I'd probably prefer the stars and bars to the Trump crap because at least the flag is aesthetically less ugly visually, and the person flying it could just be ignorant or is at least being honest about their beliefs instead of the poorly veiled hate the MAGA trash represents.

Arkansas was the surprising state to me. I guess I just don't ever think about anything related to Arkansas so I lump it in with the Midwest instead of the South, which I think of as the tourist destination states.

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.
