Yes, yes, let's put Columbus on the list, just for ****s n giggles as Indy kicks its butt. Cincy is a Southern town, even if Ohio is in the Midwest.
I am shocked - SHOCKED - that we forgot about Kansas City. Usually, people mention "KCMO" before Milwaukee.
Oh please Cincinnati is definitely a Midwestern city....architecturally, culturally, dialect-wise, demographically, climate...I have 15 college friends from Cincinnati..all consider themselves Midwesterners. Cincinnati is unquestionably Midwestern. It goes on here.
Hey....did I ever say Cincy would win? MWAHAHAHAHA.....I think Cincy should be on this list...just for the sake of decent comparison MTYPEX. I'm not for it winning. I am a loyal St. Louisan to the end
Should we place Pittsburgh on here as well? I've always thought of Pittsburgh as being more Midwest than Northeast myself given its close proximity to Cleveland and Columbus compared to that of Philadelphia.
My professor was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and grew up in Pittsburgh. When I came down to Illinois to see the campus and have dinner at his house, I asked "is Cleveland midwestern? they don't have Meijer, or Kroger, and they drive like crap" and "is Pittsburgh midwestern? Pennsylvania is 'the east' and apparently Pburgh'ers have some kind of funny accent."
He rolled his eyes and replied "yes, those are Midwest." Never ask smartass questions with your advisor/mentor.
Logic: Cleveland is Midwest, Cleveland has Giant Eagle, Pittsburgh has Giant Eagle, therefore ...
The Midwest is not really a place, it's a state of mind, where a 2-year-old Buick is a sign of success, a steel plant is a sign of prosperity, and you can ask somebody about the weather and they will answer the question ... with a two paragraph response. (Do people in NYC talk about the weather?)
In order to scare Dorothy and Toto, you'd have to go east of State College, or south of Cincy ... or west to Berkeley. Let's not freak them out too much, though.

LMAO I will keep that in mind in case I ever want to scare the panties off Dorothy and her little dog too

that's funny. I wouldn't consider Kansas city midwest, it's pretty far west.
Pittsburgh is in that weird border area. It's in PA, but west of the Appalachians, and at least 4-5 hours from the major East Coast Cities. I have heard it called "The Paris of Appalachia" and "The Gateway to the Midwest" by locals. I guess it's a mix.
