Yeah I lived in South Florida for a few years and then traveled for work all over the country and there's no doubt that the Midwest is where the nicest people are.
The people of iowa, way better than your typical tennessean for sure. I live in a blue dot though. I'm isolated from most of the bars and stars trash people.
This will date me, but I was at ISU in the mid 80's with my 1st year, T's senior year. We had a basketball reffing .5 credit PE class together. We spent half the class studying the Iowa High School rule book, then the other half on the court. We would play pick-up 5 on 5, two people would ref, and the other two were on the sideline getting commentary from the teacher (Gary Greenlee now head of REC athletic facilities at ISU). Our final exam was the test to get licensed, and we had to ref three Intramural games, get video-taped and then get feedback. Great class. One time we were practicing jump balls and I had to jump against T. He wasn't short, roughly 6', but he had GREAT hops, at least compared to my liability of low hops on a 6'3" frame. it was truly laughable trying to jump against T. Quiet guy, but really nice.
We asked readers to define the Midwest. Here’s what we learned.

Good to see we got Noble Thomas, hopefully we can get a few more recruits in the next few weeks!
You're right... to each their own. I travel (when border is open) to Winnipeg and western Canada quite a bit for work. All I will say in Ames/Minneapolis does not know what cold is. I struggled at first. I will NEVER live there, but I learned to embrace and adapt. I never took risks and went the extra mile in my preparations with extra clothes, etc and added a block heater, the right tires, etc so that my vehicle as ready as possible. The cold is no joke up there but neither is 100F with 100% humidity... if you're not prepared. And... it's gorgeous up there for the 4 months it's not -35F (Ceclius = Farenheit at this temp BTW)

It is all perspective. I remember the first time one of my interns from Ohio State talked about being a Midwesterner while working in Iowa. I responded, "Ohio isn't the Midwest, it is way out East!

I was travelling regularly from Des Moines to Minneapolis for work in a former role. I was complaining to my boss at the time, a Canadian, about how cold it was in the Twin Cities. He laughed and said, "I am from 1,000 miles Northwest of here!"
Summer in Minneapolis--the best 6-8 weeks of a cold year. I actually really like Minneapolis, but you have to use the patio seating at restaurants when you can as there are many more months when you can't.
Nope, Totally MIDWEST location.According to this very scientific poll, looks like Iowa is the most Midwestern state and Ohio is very borderline Midwestern. Aren't you guys Mideast or mid Atlantic or something like that?We asked readers to define the Midwest. Here’s what we learned.

I thought you said you were born and bred a Buckeye? Make up your mind, are you from Ohio, or the Midwest?
Seems a bit like Multiple Personality Disorder here…

If a state is entirely in the Eastern time zone, it's not in the Midwest. Hell, Ohio is a full state away from being in the Central timezone. I could maybe give you a "Mid" US designation, but Ohio fails the "West" part on all counts.
