I know that Chicago is in the Midwest, you know that Chicago is in the Midwest ... people out here on the West Coast don't. I've argued with people here that yes, Cleveland is the Midwest, and they insist Ohio is the East Coast! (Even though they realize it doesn't touch the Atlantic Ocean.) And I've heard them say the same of Chicago. To people out here, once you get east of the Dakotas, you're "out East." It's soooo aggravating.
