Maybe Ohio's historic associations-- its Western Reserve and being in the old Northwest Territory-- place it in the midwest.

I was born and raised in Cleveland. I moved to the midwest (Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin) for college and my post-collegiate life. To me, northeast Ohio is definitely not the midwest, nor is it the Ohio River Valley; but I can easily classify other parts of Ohio as such. Many of my midwestern friends, after having been to Cleveland, refuse to categorize it as midwest - they think we're grungy easterners. It's hard to characterize because it touches so many regions - the midwest, Appalachia, the Ohio River Valley, the Great Lakes. I guess Ohioans are kind of like the mutts at the pound - no one really knows how to describe us, but we sure are loveable.

the west too barren,
the south too hot, and
the east too bloody.
Iowa is just right."
