[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest city in PA is definitely mid-Atlantic.

Kansas and Nebraska and the Dakotas are not the midwest. [/quote]

Kansas and Nebraska are pretty much the definition of the Midwest imo. [/quote]
No. The definitive Midwest is [b]Ohio[/b]/Michigan/Illinois/Indiana. [/quote]

Sometimes I think of Ohio as being more East Coast. It probably has to do with time zones.

I grew up in Kansas City, MO. The Midwest to most of us was Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska.

We tended to think of ourselves as the Heartland of America.

Fun fact: [b]Kansas City, Missouri is second only to Rome, Italy for number of fountains in the world.[/b] We are known as the City of Fountains. The Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri is modeled after Seville, Spain.

[b]T[b]he Future Farmers of America National Convention was held in Kansas City from 1928-1998[/b].[/b] The "blue jackets" would be everywhere at places like Crown Center. They moved the convention to Indianapolis in 1998. The for a few years it was in Louisville, KY, then back to Indianapolis. As a Kansas Citian, I always thought they moved the FFA convention out of spite, that we were too "dangerous" or too progressive of a city for them. I graduated high school in 1987. I remember being told to be especially polite to the blue jackets, so they wouldn't think we were a dangerous city. [/quote]

Even on the Future Farmers of American website, this is labeled as the "1980s-1990s: THE URBAN FFA." A trip to Kansas City, MO was considered an "urban" experience. LoL. [/quote]
