It kills me that people still refer to Ohio and contiguous states as the "Midwest" .... by any measure save maybe from a Park Avenue or Tidewater biased viewpoint, Ohio is not in the middle of the country, nor in the middle of the "West" ..... not geographically nor in terms of mean center of the US population .... and has not been since before the end of the 19th Century ..... it does sound better than "The Rust Belt", true ....but it just ain't so, and has not been so in more than a Century. It makes only slightly more sense as calling the same area + Michigan/Wisconsin/Minnesota "The Northwest Territories".
