Hmm, geographically, yes, it's in the eastern third of the U.S., just
like Wisconsin and Michican. They are, objectively, in the eastern
U.S.

Though of course most people don't call it the east because standard
U.S. vocabulary was set when there were 13 states and the rest of us
were Territories.

You call it the Mid West but for us Left Coasters it's really hard to think of
Chicago as the west.
