This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

What does that mean?

The US started as 13 colonies/states on the East coast. In the terminology, everything past that is "The West", and this general area is the middle-ish part of that, so "Midwest".
