    Let's have a good definition of the Midwest United States then.

    Wikipedia has a good bit on info on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States.

    "The region consists of 12 states in the north-central and north-eastern United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin."


    lol Nice job quoting Wikipedia. I'm an original source type---I checked a good old fashioned map :) I still say if you're within a few hours of the ocean, you're not Midwestern.

    I've seen threads calling for Brits, Canadians, New Jersians (??), Californians, et al.........
    Now it's time for the lovely....the modest.....the extremely good-looking......the under-rated Midwesterners to shine!
    Where are you????

    I'm definitely not modest, but I'm from the Midwest. *shrugs*

    None of those states are close to the ocean. I must have missed something.

    Born and raised within a 5 mile radius of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. Transplanted temporarily to Las Vegas, NV. Still consider myself Nebraskan, as that is my state of residency, and I'm a taxpaying-voting member.

    Can we please quit bickering about what is and is not "The Midwest." ?

    Here's what the U.S Census Bureau has to say:

    "The Midwestern United States as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is one of the four U.S. geographic regions.[1] The area is referred to as the Midwest throughout the United States.
    The region consists of 12 states in the north-central and north-eastern United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin."

    Edit: Just realized someone already posted this. lol But they didn't say that it's defined not by wikipedia, but by the actual U.S Census Bureau... so maybe that will clear some things up.
