Every Midwesterner has a different reason for loving the Midwest. Some cite the friendly people, always there to help out a neighbor. Some love it for the sports teams, which are many and well-supported. Some love the sprawling natural beauty, from dunes to lakes and back again.  Me? I love the Midwest because it feels …

25+ Midwest Memes for Nice Folks Who Say Ope (May 10, 2024)

Midwesterners have a reputation for being some of the nicest people in the world. I may be biased, but I think there’s a lot of truth to it. We’re not plagued by coastal elitism, we drive friendly, and niceness is not usually a thin veil concealing an ulterior motive. Midwesterners usually tell it like it is. The flatness of the region makes us calm, …

One of the best things about the Midwest is its commitment to dairy. In other parts of the world (cough cough the coasts), diary-free options run amok, with oat and almond ruling the average coffee order. And I’m all for that for them. For some, it’s easier on the stomach, and I have nothing but ears for those people. …

Spring in the Midwest is a total grab-bag of sensations. One day it might be 70 and sunny and everyone you know especially your Uncle Terry is wearing shorts, firing up the grill, and getting a game of bags going. The next, though, it might hit the low 40s and you’re wondering where you put your wool scarf. It’s seasonal and emotional whiplash. But it’s …

Cheese curds are a singular delicacy so delicious I’ll forgive them for being a product of Wisconsin. Hey, I can’t help it I had a really annoying art teacher in middle school who was a huge Packers fan so now I have a negative association with all things Cheese Head. Except for the cheese itself, …

25 Midwest Memes for Nice Folks Who Say Ope (April 12, 2024)

One thing I love about the Midwest is the way Midwesterners tell you bad news. They will bend over backward to see the good in something and sugarcoat it so hard that you come out with cavities. Some may appreciate bluntness, but I think there’s an art to beating around the bush. Not everyone can …

I recently returned home to the Midwest and it reminded me of how much I love it there. Things move a little bit slower, people are a little bit friendlier, and there’s plenty of green space to take nice walks. The Midwest gets a bad rap for being boring or bland, but to me, it’s …

Nothing quite like springtime in the Midwest. The sun threatens to shine, the pollen is annoying the heck out of everyone, and you’re remembering just how pale your legs are as you put on shorts for the first time in months. I like to think of it as the great de-thawing.  On the first warm …

One thing I love about the Midwest is how obsessed we all are with cheese. Give us cheddar, give us pepper jack, heck, give us emmental. We will slice it, put it on a Ritz cracker, or grate it over tater tots and call it a casserole. And we will enjoy every gosh dang minute …

Every region of the country has a certain ethos. The East Coast screams Kennedy vibes, American Revolution history, and crab cakes. The South of course is dripping with sweet tea, country music, and state-specific barbecue sauce. The southwest gives turquoise jewelry, desert landscapes, and artsy aunts. And the West Coast is all about avocado toast, …
