I think of Midwest as the Dakotas to Missouri to Illinois. So, I guess in 2007 in Chicago, but think how many new competitors there have been since 2007, including yourself.TIL never was in 2017, 2011 and 2007.

The Midwest also includes Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio*.I think of Midwest as the Dakotas to Missouri to Illinois. So, I guess in 2007 in Chicago, but think how many new competitors there have been since 2007, including yourself.
I include Michigan in the Midwest, but not Indiana and Ohio, I think of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee as their own small region.The Midwest also includes Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio*.
* - There's obviously no set definition but, in general, those three states are included.
@cubeshepherd could just change the name to something like, "Where will the next US Nats be?" or something like that. That's pretty much what this thread has turned into.Can this thread just be locked already? US Nats 2020 isn't a thing.
You're an outlier in that. Pretty much everyone includes Indiana and Ohio.I include Michigan in the Midwest, but not Indiana and Ohio, I think of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee as their own small region.
Well, if Wikipedia says so... lolYou're an outlier in that. Pretty much everyone includes Indiana and Ohio.

I use only the MOST AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES IN EXISTENCE. Who are you to doubt me?!!?!?!?!?Well, if Wikipedia says so... lol
Well, if you think of "authoritative sources" as "I-am-able-to-edit-it freely-and-make-it-look-like-anything-can-be-real-sources," then yeah.I use only the MOST AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES IN EXISTENCE. Who are you to doubt me?!!?!?!?!?

Maybe it just depends on where you live.Growing up in Michigan, I never saw the Dakotas, Nebraska, or Kansas as midwestern states.
Aha! Something my collection of old encyclopedias is good for, beyond looking good on the shelf!Well, if you think of "authoritative sources" as "I-am-able-to-edit-it freely-and-make-it-look-like-anything-can-be-real-sources," then yeah.
This is such a stupid argument.
I love how this analysis puts way more depth into the subject than there really should be.Aha! Something my collection of old encyclopedias is good for, beyond looking good on the shelf!
1970 World Book: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin.
2003 Encyclopedia Britannica: the Middle West is same list, but specifies that it is comprised of two regions: the Northwest Territory, or the Old Northwest, and the Great Plains.
Interestingly, the 2004 Compton’s and 1949 Encyclopedia Americana appear to have no mention of the Midwest or Middle West.
Maybe it just depends on where you live.
Are you saying that I can't read?Or considering what you left out of my post you quoted, maybe it depends on your ability to read and process my entire post.
