Betting on the midwest in the same breath as looking down on Roulette and Craps? Are you sure you're not a gambling man? Having grown up in the midwest, let me tell you that beyond the fact that it's cold (it is), except for Chicago, it's rather desolate and depressing. Even Chicago is pretty miserable in the winter. I know dozens of entrepreneurs from Illinois and Indiana who moved to SF as soon as they graduated university. I'm fairly certain nobody has ever attend Berkeley or Stanford and said "Oooh I can't wait to move to Cleveland when I graduate!"
