Maybe I missed it in geography or history class. I'm sure I could do some sort of search on the world wide web...
I've just never understood how Ohio was in the Midwest.
It's not really, is it?
Maybe the Midwest of the Big 10 Conference. It's in the Mid-section of the area between Pennsylvania and Indiana...and it's west of New York....but the Midwest. That's how you'd describe where Ohio is to an out of the country visitor?
Can someone clear this up for me? Please?

i'd definitely agree. maybe we can re-classify ohio as a mid-atlantic state. we're close to the atlantic...sorta. and it sounds cooler too.
ReplyDeleteyes. i live in the mid-atlantic.
I'm Ohiocentric. Let's face it. Ohio is the cultural, political and deomgraphic center of America. Not to mention from a poplulation standpoint it's the center as well. It's the middle of America in every category with the exception of geography. That's why I call it "the Heart of It All", "the birthplace of aviation", "the only state in the union where cornholing is practiced so openly in public places". I think we need our own designation as simply "the mid-center of everything that matters".
ReplyDeleteCincinnati is an anomoly because it's the southern most major northern city, the northern most major southern city, the western most major eastern city and the eastern most major western city. No matter where you are in the country people think of Cincinnati as being in another part of the country. You tell someone from New York you are from Cincinnati and they assume you are from another time zone somewhere near Kansas City, you talk to people in Kansas City and they assume you are essentially from the east coast. You talk to people in Minneapolis and they wonder why you don't have a southern accent. You talk to people in Atlanta and they think you should sound like the McKenzie Brothers. The best is when you tell someone from California you are from Ohio and they want to know whether you raise pigs or corn in DesMoines.
Nah. Covington is all of those things and more.
ReplyDeletei love the ohio-centricness. i feel like i can speak as an expert though, since i did teach middle school social studies for a year. ohio was the midwest when our country only went to the mississippi. and even then it still seems east.
ReplyDeletebut being a current new yorker, i'd much rather claim midwest roots and lifestyle than the northeast. go bucks.
I'd say more like Mid-East, but who am I to contend with the masses...
