I agree. I grew up in Indiana, and Hoosiers think of themselves as in 
the middle of the midwest. Now I always thought the midwest consisted 
of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, & Michigan; sort of 
the northern half everything east of the Mississippi and west of the 
Smokeys. So I was stumped when I met people from Kansas who thought 
THEY were from the midwest.  

Taking the larger view, my part of the country should be the mideast, 
with the midwest consisting of states just to the west of the 
mississippi but not as far as the Rockies.
