Where are we considering “the Midwest” here? I ask because I grew up in northern Illinois, which is a much different Midwest from Kansas or Missouri.
EDIT: I originally typed Kentucky when my brain wanted to type Kansas
Born and raised Michigander checking in. There's a LOT of cultural variation in the Midwest that people gloss over. You can find extremely liberal population centers all around the region. Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Madison, Lansing, Milwaukee, etc
Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.
That's just urban vs. rural.
Kentucky and East of the Mississippi usually isn't considered Midwest anyway
It absolutely is… Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana—that’s all pretty quintessential Midwest.
Great lakes, I think you mean.
I think you mean the Great Lakes region is in the Midwest.
so what is wisconsin, illinois, indiana, michigan, and ohio general area wise???
That's the Midwest, I'm not sure what West of the Mississippi is though. The plains?
Wisconsin is Midwest.... that's west of the Mississippi
Indiana and Ohio are rust belt
um ah. The mississippi river is west of wisconsin and illinois. Its to the left of them on maps. So those state are east of the mississippi.
