This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Ok Colorado and Wyoming thinking they’re Midwest is new to me. As is Ohioans thinking we arent
Coloradan here. We don't. I'm very suspicious of this data.
The eastern third of CO is all plains and definitely feels like the Midwest, but hardly anyone lives there.
Yep, and it's really obvious if you've driven into the state from the east. You find yourself wondering when you're gonna get to Colorado and realize you've been driving in it for 3 hours, it just looks exactly the same as the last 10 hours.
The trick is, as soon as you can see the tip of Pikes Peak, you’re in Colorado.
Same thought. No one here thinks it’s the midwest. It’s the west and very apparent. Ghost towns start popping up for attractions, everything’s about the mountains, camping, hiking, skiing/snowboarding.
