To all,

I just wanted to show the Lego model, and where it came from. I didn't
think it would lead to a big discussion on where "midwest" was. It
sounds apparent that different people from different regions have a
different definition. I just it was a neat model! :)

OK, I guess I should have gave some more information. This is from
Meijer, a huge retail chain in the Midwest mostly:

However, I like my primary job much better! :)

Does Michigan count as the Midwest?  I'm in Missouri and kind of think
of maybe Illinois as the edge of the midwest...but it seems that
perceptions vary.

Michigan is the very center of the midwest. Illinois is one state away
from the edge. Ohio is in the midwest, for that matter, as is the
western part of PA according to some people.

:-)

Missouri, on the other hand, is in the South. It's a former slave state,
after all.

Hope that helps.

[followups set to lugnet.loc.us] (...) Yeah, I count 7 articles here now on this thread discussion what "midwest" is. Probably a good time to take this over to .loc.us...it's getting pretty far off-topic for .general. (...) Well, everyone knows (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us)
