      For the longest time I assumed the Midwest was a purely descriptive term based on location and not one that was defined… Finding out Ohio was in the Midwest blew my mind.

        I’m from the Midwest and so many people when I tell them or discuss being Midwestern have no idea that it’s Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, etc. They treat me like I’m stupid. Well they’re not wrong, but I didn’t make that shit up.
