    I don’t know what “technically” qualifies as the midwest, but living in Wisconsin all my life, I’d say the Midwest revolves around us cheeseheads and is the Northern half of the Central time zone. my $.02 Brad

    IMHO: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, the western 1/2 of Ohio, the northern 1/2 of Missouri, and the eastern 1/2 of ND, SD, NE, and KS.
