xp I would make the same case, Josefa. Nobody in even southern Minnesota is going to post about Midwestern ambience, it'll be about lakes, fishing, or proximity to Minneapolis. And the vast majority in Illinois are in Chicago and they'd mention local amenities
also Iowa is insanely midwestern, what are you talking about
I've previously mentioned my corn index for Midwesterness (you can argue historical standards and the midwesterness of the rust belt as alternatives) but imo the more corn planted, the more midwestern. So you get Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, eastern Nebraska, etc etc
not-xp: corn sweat is real, 38% humidity today and 100 degrees outside

In my state, the humidity is so high that the air smells like corn sweat ... and we don't have any corn.

the humidity wasn't terrible, the 100 degrees on top of it was a bit more irritating
