I see how the Midwest distrusts the East Coast. The Midwest sees itself as morally superior. The Coast sees itself as intellectually superior. And the two are actually the same thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of the people of the Midwest came from the Northeast. We're of the same stock. Yet something must have happened when we crossed the Ohio River Valley because I have sensed that there's more of an openness and flexibility of spirit out West.
I come from Chicago, and the landscape of the Midwest has always meant a great deal to me.
I'm a Midwesterner.
I love the Midwest. I think about it every day. I wonder if I would rather have a little farm in the Midwest, in Illinois or Wisconsin, or would I rather have like a little getaway up in the mountains of Colorado.
I have a strange fascination with the Midwest. I'm waiting to find out that my parents are actually from the Midwest. I grew up in Beverly Hills, up the street, and I just feel comfortable there. I've shot in Minneapolis, in Detroit, in St. Louis, in Omaha - they would say they're the Plains, not the Midwest - and I love it.
At my core, I'm a Midwesterner.
I have been influenced in my thinking by both west and east.
I feel very Midwestern at my core.
Being from the Midwest, I would say that I like that East Coast mentality, it's more direct. What you see is what you get.
The West Coast is so different from the common perceptions of it.
