I live in Chicago. Chicago is a place that draws people from all over the U.S. and world because of its universities, job market and opportunities. Because of the huge draw for people to come, I have gotten to know people from all over the U.S. The amjority of them complain about the weather, the lack of mountains, the lack of an ocean, and on, and on, and on.
Can you tell I get irritated by it? In response, I am going to start a “Midwest love” series devoted to places, ideas, cultures, foods, history, and people of the Midwest1. It will also only involve places I have been, ideas I have heard, cultures I have seen, history I have learned, and people I have known (or read about in history).
Since I grew up in Michigan, don’t be surprised if much of it may be about Michigan. There will also be a lot on Chicago and Illinois now that I live in Chicago. However, I have also been to many other Midwestern states so I will include them in from time to time. I however have never been to Minnesota so I will not be writing about that state. So, I hope you get inspired by the Midwest and its history and culture and its beauty.
