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)

As someone not from the Midwest: Ohio, Indiana, northern Kentucky (specifically from metro Cincinnati down through Owensboro but not Paducah, and including Lexington), lower Michigan, Illinois (except for Mississippi alluvial plain) and most of Wisconsin.

Minnesota is it’s own cultural area that could or could not include northern wisconsin and the upper peninsula (greater Minnesota), nd sd ne ks is the Great Plains, and Iowa and Missouri I have no clue what to do with. St. Louis might be the Midwest that’s the only part up for debate here.

I’m objectively correct and you hate it

The region you are describing is called the Superior Upland. It encompasses the Mesabi Range in MN, Blue Hills in WI, and the Upper Peninsula of MI.
