Janesaunt and I eventually want to do some sort of series featuring the perspectives from the “Coastal Elites/Flyover Country”***. We haven’t yet settled on the way we want to approach this, but in the interim, tonight is an ode to the Midwest from a proud, unabashed born-and-bred Midwesterner.
***Insert eyerolls at these descriptors which do our respective regions an absolute disservice.
Upper Midwest: hotdishes.
Upper MIdwest: Please, please stay up there!
Midwest: Accurate.
Midwest: We can move forward if we’re not held back.
Midwest: And why those pictures of spring wildflowers are so jarring. Beautiful, but still incomprehensible.
Midwest: Home.
Addendum: maybe not so Midwest. Is this where I “thank” the Coastal Elites?! ;D
