      Back when I lived in Iowa, I would always go running directly after the tornado, because in the summer months, it was the only time it was cooler than Hell. I started calling it "God's Ceiling Fan". I actually really liked living in Iowa in many ways, but the weather SUCKS, it really does, don't ask me what the good season is because there isn't one. Way too hot in the summer, way too cold in the winter, way too stormy in between.

Looking at a modern map , if I were asked to point out mid west states , I would have said Wyoming , South Dakota , Colorado , Nebraska , Kansas and maybe Oklahoma .

      I agree ., cleveland is my appeal for Ohio at the moment. I’ve lived in Palm Beach FL, Chicago, Buffalo, Boston and visited far more cities.
      Cleveland is one of my favorite cities ever. The attitude people have for this city; the love, respect, admiration, and loyalty. They Love their browns and do not care if they are going through a losing streak. I read that Cleveland has never had trouble selling tickets for their home games despite lackluster seasons that went on going for years. People still love the Browns and I have so much respect for that . Just like they love their city. Every city that I’ve been to, including Columbus .. The same does not exist. The closest city that may resemble would be Detroit. Not in terms of crime or population decline or whatever else but in terms of love from local citizens. Columbus and their buckeyes are used to winning a lot but when they will lose a game I see people trash the buckeyes who were just cheering before.. I cannot imagine the same fans standing by them if they experience what the browns have. Not true loyalty.
      Cleveland is definitely thriving and it’s downtown is booming and it’s going under a massive resurgence. The energy and positivity is the best that you can find in Ohio.
      Downtown Cleveland over downtown Columbus or cincy any day. More things to do And the most densely populated city in the state.

And don't judge the whole state by St. Louis and Kansas City. The Ozarks, where I live, are beautiful. Rolling hills, forest, multiple lakes and rivers. I travel for a living and I have seen the world. Yes, I would rather live near the ocean or mountains, but Missouri isn't the worst place to live, not even in the Midwest (thousands of miles of flat cornfields in most of the states).

    Most depressed city in the US
    Most number of adolescent depression and suicides
    Highest number of divorces
    Most obese city in the nation
    Highest crime in the state now
    However, we have the highest job market. Medical, car manufacturing and banking. Everyone always has a job. We’ve never really suffered job issues, even during bad times. Great healthcare second to Indianapolis.
    Our hospitals rank 2 and 3rd in the nation. And we have lots of them.

Upper Peninsula Michigan is amazing, and the whole state offers tons of beautiful scenery. I love nature and Michigan has tons of forests, lakes, and beaches. There are a lot of activities to enjoy all throughout the year, making each season feel special. I definitely recommend visiting any time of the year, there is always something fun to do, and something beautiful to see!

      @@BezmenovDisciple Hi ;) Hope my answer is correct. Since 2001 the use and possession of drugs stopped being treated as a crime. Of course, if a person is caught with some kilos that are still a crime. I don't know how much grams for personal use are considered under being considered a crime. To sell it's illegal and a crime. But if you are caught doing drugs (heavy or not) you are treated like a person who needs treatment and not a criminal. If it’s marijuana maybe the Police just say to throw that away or confiscate the drugs and nothing happens. But if it’s the hard ones, you are redirected to a Drugs Dissuasion Committee. So you can be seen and probably being medicated with methadone. The person may be obliged to do some community service or pay a fine. It's not a drug's paradise, but people are by law considered patients, not criminals. I think I'm pretty close to what is the reality here. Cheers ;)

      When the Midwest was named “Midwest”, it originally came from the “Northwest Territories” which included Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and some parts of Minnesota. At that time, places like Ohio and Indiana were considered “west” because the rest of the known country was so Eastern such as Vermont, New York and Connecticut. So back in the 1800’s, when your family said you’re “going west” that generally meant Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, because that’s what it meant back then. Obviously now it’s different with actually far west states being established, but it’s more of a time period thing, as well as a cultural thing. Many German immigrants inhabited the midwestern lands and therefore, the Midwest states are culturally closer to each other. Even though Ohio borders, say, West Virginia, it has much more in common culturally with places like Iowa and Missouri.

    Nowhere is worse than Illinois, especially if you like freedom. Now that most of the smart people have left the state, the things that used to make it possibly the greatest in the Midwest, like lots of jobs and a strong large economy, are no longer working in its favor. I ask myself every day why I am still here.

However, Dayton does have a great arts institute, as well as orchestras, dance, and theater. There are also a number of great national parks that are absolutely gorgeous. Hocking Hills and Old Man's Cave are some great spots. Ohio is also the most affordable state to live in, just saying.
