Re: Ass out of u and me

When I was a little kid, I thought the "Midwest" US meant literally the geographic middle of the lower 48. In my mind, that meant pretty much everything from, say, Chicago to the Rockies, but not places like Ohio, which I guess I thought of as some kind of weird buffer zone between the Midwest and the east coast. (My family is from California and I grew up in Minnesota, so my perspective skewed western.) I never said any of this out loud - no reason to, since it was all so logical - so no one ever corrected me growing up.

Then I went off to college in Boston, met somebody from Ohio who described himself as being from the Midwest... and I embarassed myself mightily by informing him that Ohio is not the Midwest, obvs, and everyone was like "What planet are you from?"

Oops.

Yeah, I'm from Ohio and I've met people who told me that Ohio wasn't the Midwest. Uh...

Well, to be fair - it's not west at all. It is, in fact, so far to the east that I can see people lumping it in with 'east', since it's right there next to Pennsylvania.

And things like this don't make it any clearer:"The Midwest is divided by the Census Bureau into two divisions. The East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region."

So what is Pennsylvania considered? Curious.

I know Maryland is considered Southern but it's still too far up North, IMO. ;) And their Baltimore accent kind of migrated to South Philly and altered a bit.

Pennsylvania is, apparently, the Mid-Atlantic.

Friggin' weird.

Culturally, no one who's ever spent much time in Ohio would ever call it "the east" or lump it in with states along the eastern coast.

Probably not. But geographically, calling it the 'mid-west' just makes no sense.

I figure being Midwestern is like being middle class - everyone assumes they are it, but can have vastly different boundaries for what the term means.
