How is that the Midwest without including MN, WI, IA, and MO?

  I was thinking the same thing. Those states are more populated than southern and Rocky Mountain states.

    I bet maps rocky mountain states get used more, though, as folk don’t go out of their way to see corn fields the way they do mountains.

      No but the people living in Midwest cities do use maps and they outnumber the Rocky Mountain tourists.

  The headline got this Nebraskan’s hopes up. The term “Midwest” should be retired.

    I'm from Michigan and I prefer "Great Lakes region" when talking about the area described in this post.

      But the problem there is that the "Great Lakes region" typically includes Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan's UP. And none of those were included in the update. So it's not really any better than describing the area as "parts of the Midwest".
