For some reason I never saw Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio has "midwestern States" Great Lakes States would be more appropriate.
(Indiana and Illinois are solidly midwestern)
But thats just my opinion

Illinois and Indiana also sit next to one of the Great Lakes, so wouldn't that make them Great Lakes States?

I always felt that Illinois, MN, WI, MI, OH and IN were the actual midwestern states; everything else was Great Plains. I mean the Dakotas and Kansas are so far away from everything very few people would be aware that they are apparently part of the same region.

The Midwest can be broken up into two groups: The Great Lakes and The Great Plains. Just as the West can be broken up into the Pacific and Mountain regions and the Northeast can be broken up into the Mid-Atlantic and New England.
It's just not quite as engaging socially as the coastal regions, for the most part. Well, as far as this Midwesterner can tell. I think most people simply prefer to live on or near coastlines, with few exceptions. Not just Americans, but all over the world and for all of recorded history. Midwestern lovers can rattle off all the good reasons in the world until they're blue in the face, but in the end, the reality is that Midwestern property values, population densities and economic strength aren't lower than either of the coasts just out of pure coincidence.

thePR, is there a point you're trying to make? I think I can probably deduce it, but it's nonetheless notable that you had zero commentary in your post. Plus, I have this feeling that you did not read every single word I typed.
