[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the Midwest really in the mid west section of the country? Frederick Jackson Turner would say yes back then, but today, even after things changed we still use it. East of the park is an imprecise description of haves and have nots.[/quote] No, it is not. It is generally used as a moniker for good elementary schools versus not-as-good ones. And, when used properly, it actually is a pretty good divider line. Those of us that live east of the park, for the most part, still can't send our kids to their neighborhood schools, at least not without a lot of thought (Ross and Brent excepted, perhaps, but only in recent years). Maybe you are getting confused between east of the park and east of the river. [/quote]
