F^ck Wisconsin.

Wisconsin in the summer might very well me one of the 5 nicest places in the USA to visit.
the whole state is TBH. I've always said that going to Wisconsin in the summer, the whole state feels like it's on vacation. Lots of amazing little lake towns throughout the state. Great world class golf all over the place.
Kansas City, MO, Kansas City, KS, Lawrence, KS, The Kansas Jayhawks, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kansas City Royals.
I think that covers it.

KS is not the Midwest
I’ve literally never heard anyone claim KS is not in the Midwest before. 😆
Some people try to forget.
I'm from Chicago. We don't consider Kansas to be in the Midwest.
Is the Mountain time zone considered midwest? I've driven from NC to CA and vice versa a few times and I always considered when i get to NM that's midwest, that's just me.
Columbus west in Ahia, IN, MI, ILL, WI, MN, IA and sometimes MO
Ladies and Gentlemen; the Midwest.

A state located in the center of the US isn’t part of the Midwest, but a bunch of states both further from the middle and much further east are midwestern states?
Interesting.
Interesting.
I wondered the same thing when i was really young. Someone told me it was originally based on population but I don't know.
As someone who has lived in both IL and IA and who has relatives that live in KS, I have always considered KS to be part of the Midwest.
It is interesting though, if you do a Google search for what states constitute the Midwest, you get a million different answers. I would say, at first glance, about half include KS, and the other half doesn't, haha.
It is not based off of maps of modern America. In early America the areas west of the east coast were known as the Midwest and were relatively safe compared to the untamed “west” where surviving is difficult due to lack of infrastructure and a legitimate threat from Natives. The Midwest was relatively safe and somewhat settled by Americans where as the west was “wild”.
Sounds like all Kansas has to do to be considered Midwest is to cut down on some of the rapes going on in Lawrence.
I realize that’s where it originated. But the vast majority of texts and people today would say that KS is part of the Midwest. Because that’s what makes sense geographically.
