    Kinda? Chicago just doesn’t feel very “Midwestern” to me, but I did grow up in Sioux Falls, which is definitely the Midwest.

    Chicago is on the eastern edge of what I’d consider the Midwest, but it’s not really any further east than Milwaukee, which is definitely Midwestern. I’m not sure if the dissonance is just due to Chicago being a World City, if that cosmopolitan vibe is interfering with a Midwestern baseline or vice-versa.
