So some folks wanted a new silly struggle session that can demonstrate for all new arrivals and visitors the sort of silly shit we debate. So I ask you Hexbears: What is the "midwest"? (hexbear.net)

Pittsburgh isn't the Midwest it's Appalachia. I'd say Columbus is the edge of the Midwest

Obviously I disagree. Part of Pittsburgh is North of the Ohio River. While I will concede that South of Columbus is the foothills of Appalachia near the Wayne National Forest; I cannot lump Pittsburg with the other Appalachian cities; Morgantown, Harrisburg and Roanoke are Appalachian.

First off the Ohio river originates in pittsburgh so part of the city is located in all directions of the river. Second the Midwest is flat or at best glacial hills and Pittsburgh is very much surrounded by the Appalachian mountains.
