So North-Central. Got it. (Am not American and don't know American history very well)

When I was in highschool I thought Midwest referred to California and stuff because it's the middle (North south wise) and in the west.

Looks northeastern more than mid western

You've got the East and West regions defined by the coasts. Then you have the South, but it's really just the southeast. The rest wants to be called the Midwest. There is no North, I guess...

It called the midwest from a time a ago when the Mississippi river was the western edge. USA grew a bit and then more but the name stayed the same.

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.
