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.
