I like to think of the Midwest as a more homely place. Here in KC I walk down the street and people nod or smile and say hello or wish you a good morning/afternoon/evening. If you ask someone on the street for directions, they’ll be genuinely helpful. We have the best barbecue (a food which is smoked and grilled, not fried, thank you.) and some of the best jazz clubs you’ll ever experience.
I took a trip down to Oklahama City for a Thunder game a few years ago and the whole section I sat in treated me like a welcomed neighbor. Their roller derby league welcomed me to come practice with them.
But most of all, I kinda just like how there isn’t a general hostility between people here like there is on the coasts. People are kinda just friendly.
Yeah, a lot of the Midwest is really cool. It’s just kind of overwhelmed by the cornfields. I also feel like jello hasn’t been a big thing since the 90s at least.
They didn’t put much effort into it, did they?

I lived in Iowa for 20 years, I did the best description I could think of, without mentioning the forced christian values and hidden racism.
