Crazy to me that someone could say Williston, ND and Scottsbluff, NE are Midwestern but Indianapolis is not, but to each their own
Yeah, not something to mess around with unless you have kids and need to get some work done or enjoy yourself somewhere where they would otherwise be unruly.
Not directly related to Ohio but I bet I see a few of these babies on Saturday.

Mine is on the way.
No Hunter Deckers NIL shirt being made:
I got 99 yards and a touchdown is 1, Jay-Z kind of mash up? Is this a thing with these young whippersnappers anymore?

to be fair, map and geography-wise... the entire "midwest" is much more "mideast". The western-most states are dead center of the US... lmao
Two other factors to consider: History and population distribution. From a history perspective, in the early westward expansion the area that is now OH, IN, MI, IL, and WI was know as the Northwest Territory (This is where Northwestern University gets its name). And as expansion continued throughout the 1800s the Rockies became the boundary to the West. So basically everything between the population centers of the East, and the Mountains became the Middle West.
Additionally, if you look at population distribution and were the center point of the US population has been located, you see that Ohio and Indiana were the actual middle point of the country for nearly a century.

Headed to Ames Saturday from the recently defrosted plains of NE. Made the TCU game last year and parked in one of the grass lots. This rain going to close them down?
Is there a more sensitive group when it comes to chances of rain than Iowans? There is a 15% chance of rain right now at gametime and less than 50% all day.
When I think midwest, I think of the geographic middle and middle-west parts of the country. It's hard to be super precise because sometimes I don't think there's an obvious cultural divide at a state border.
I do agree when you start entering western Nebraska, it's sort of the door to the western frontier mountain area. Even parts of eastern Iowa like a Cedar Rapids or Davenport may have more in-common with what I consider to be the rust-belt area.
So I guess tldr, it's hard to have a super clean map, but imo, I consider the midwest and rust-belt to be two separate regions.
Yes. Witches and the aliens from the movie “Signs.”
would people of iowa have more in common culturally with people in those towns or more in common with people in Indianapolis?
