I had a conversation with someone recently about what the Midwest was. I live in Kansas and always just assumed that must mean Kansas because it doesn’t really get any more… mid… and we’re west of where the US started defining things at.
But apparently everyone seems to also think they’re Midwest and has all sorts of reasoning. It would be interesting to see a map of what different regions self identified as.

I’ve seen surveys like this before! Some are pretty funny.
Found one:
Has the Midwest discussed ditching Ohio and adopting Oklahoma?
They should, the “Midwest” seems to stretch too far east. Should claim Colorado and Wyoming too.
You can try to get rid of us but we all know we’re the real Midwest!
You’re the bastard step child of New England!
That’s just the mid, not the midwest
