You know it's strange to me how the US has a Midwest but there's no middle.
And the middle east is on another continent entirely
Midwest got its name because at one point it was very hard to get past the Rocky, Cascadia, and Coastal mountain ranges that each span from Canada to Mexico. So the Midwest was sort of the middle point between the East Coast and the Rockies.
It’s there, it’s a giant cornhole, if you approach too close the force of ennui will pull you in and prevent you from escaping
Can confirm, the cost of living is too low, and the ground is too flat. I can't get out.
The whole continent is the west and the midwest is in the middle of it.
Nah, too logical. I prefer the explaination that the USA just doesn't have a center.
- the Overton window, probably
Because New York and DC think they run the rest of the country.
Middle of the western expansion from the eastern colonies.
