Chicago is an outlier in most ways, but, still, I’m from St. Louis and a connection to Detroit would be news to me. There are parts manufacturers all over Ohio, for example, but the Midwest is a lot bigger than Ohio.

They were more agricultural by nature so their interactions would be more with Chicago (with its mercantile exchange and transportation). Chicago has always had a diversified economy so has ridden ups and downs relatively well. It’s still the largest city in the Midwest and 3rd largest in the country.
