Please let's all agree to never use longitude in those arguments ever again.

And if Ohio isn't the Midwest, what is it then? New England? The South? The Great Plains? The Interior West?
I love how cities on the Pacific coast of Chile like Concepcion are actually further east than cities on the Atlantic coast of the southeastern U.S.
