Haha... I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being from Indiana. I just don't think the midwest is always viewed in particularly lofty terms in most people's minds who aren't from there.

Actually how I usually answer that question is, "northern Indiana, outside of Chicago." If you can anchor their minds to Chicago, usually they don't think too poorly of things.
I usually say Chicago anyways. I figure if I lived there for a year, still have keys to my old flat and can stay there whenever I wish, and I know more people there than in Indiana then I'm free to say I'm from Chicago.

But even then, people judge you being from the midwest and it's not warrented.


The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
