I know Pittsburgh people are going to say they are actually in the Northeast and Clevelanders will complain about being lumped in with Columbus and Indianapolis.
However, there are 5 cities that are of very similar size (2.1 million) very close together and have no bigger cities between them; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis.
The only region I can think of that is similar is Richmond, Hampton Roads, Triangle, Triad in the upper south but Richmond is clearly the biggest feeling city of the bunch because it's the only mono-modal metro.

I think you are right about the eastern/central Midwest. Or Midwest/Western Great Lakes in general:
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
Columbus
Cleveland
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
Milwaukee
Saint Louis
Kansas City
Louisville (sort of)
This would be a great location for either rail or Hyper loop connections. All of these areas are barely connected to each other via highways.
How exactly would highway connections need to be improved? KCMO/STL/Indy/Cbus are all on 70, Cleveland/Cbus/Cincy on 71 which intersects 70, 65 connects Indy/Louisville and MKE by way of 94, 90 connects Buffalo/Cleveland. Pittsburgh is not direct on 70, but 79 runs between 70 and 90.

We need a bridge . Having family in Toledo it gets really old having to drive down through Chicago, eating up lots of time and toll money, to round the lake over towards Ohio.

Lol can you imagine if they extended I-96 from Muskegon to Milwaukee via a bridge?

I'd be buying vacation property near Traverse City the minute they announced the bridge.
