It has been for at least a century. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) I see the Midwest as more of a cultural region than a physical one. Ohio and Indiana honestly both perfectly fit in with the Midwestern culture, so I welcome them into the "Midwestern" moniker Personally, I see the Midwest as a triangle with Ohio, Minnesota, and Missouri as the corners. Kentucky and Arkansas are too southern culturally (and honestly, the southern half of Missouri is too) Oklahoma is almost southwestern culturally, and Kansas, the Dakotas and Nebraska are very western culturally (and honestly Western Minnesota and Western Iowa are pretty Western culturally too) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) Yeah the transappalachian great lakes region and the great plains.

This of course does make ohio weird as regardless the vast majority of it is past the mountains but a tiny bit brushes into the foothills. permalink fedilink source parent
