    They should, the “Midwest” seems to stretch too far east. Should claim Colorado and Wyoming too.

      Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho are “Rocky Mountain West” but hardly anyone seems to remember that term. No one living west of I25 is part of the Mid-West. They all belong to a differently named Geo-Graphic group.

        I’ve always thought the demarcation line should be the Mississippi River. In my head anything east of that is… well… east, not Midwest…
