Windsor is kinda Midwest because it's Canada Detroit in that it used to have manufacturing but doesn't have as much anymore, and it's literally next to Detroit.

Is Midwest a vibe? A geographic area? Both? As someone Canadian it seems to be the flyover states that have cities with the vibe of a large town rather than a real city. I've also never been to that part of America so idk either.

Buffalo is Midwest, it's Chapo canon.

Chicago is basically the capital of the Midwest and it is most certainly a real city. Unless if part of the criteria of being a real city like NYC is smelling like trash, then Chicago isn’t a real city since they hide trash in the alleys rather than leaving it everywhere

Does Chicago have a decent transit system? If I was rich and lived in Chicago is it conceivable that I don't own a car? To me a city without trains or a subway is a large town

Also I didn't know Chicago was Midwest because I forgot where it is lol. Illinois sounds like a state that is in the middle of nowhere in my head so I guess that makes sense.

Also weird that Midwest emo is a music genre, but there's no Midwest rap even though Kanye and Chance the Rapper are from there.

I’ve only been to Chicago a couple times but I never felt like I was missing out on not having a car there
