I like Midwestern hospitality, where they practically let a stranger they've never met in the house. It's more laidback than Southern hospitality, which like a Walgreens Rewards card, requires an accumulation of points. Basically brownie point system.

Plus you cant beat Midwestern scenery, either.

I grew up in Chicago and is the only city I could live in as far as the midwest. I can't believe the votes are so one sided. People really have their homer hats on too tight lol. People from the midwest come to the south to retire and not the other way around. I have yet to meet anyone that has left the south to move to the midwest unless they were originally from there. The south is up and coming while many midwest cities are declining. The south has way better weather overall, greener and close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf. I'll take the south over the midwest anyday excluding Chicago.

Clearly if a poll doesn't go the way you want than the other side must just be a bunch of homers right? Your opinions aren't the end all be all you know, you also seem to be trying to force random things into your posts as "support," which doesn't really work. Btw, very open minded...

I would agree with this, but you cant exclude Chicago. I know plenty of ex-Chicagoans that hate it and are never going back for various reasons, some even prefer other Midwestern cities to Chicago. Doesn't mean ever person that loves Chicago is a homer though.

Default Mid-Atlantic

Mid-Atlantic provides a nice compromise between both worlds.

No I'm just telling the truth to you delusional people in the midwest. The midwest is the least desirable region in the country and often times refered to as fly-over country.
