The Midwest is usually considered to be the region of the United States that in the upper Mississippi & Great Lakes area -- covering the states like Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan. This region got this name for being midway to the Western frontier in earlier times of American history.\n\nMontana is generally not considered part of the Midwest, but rather the West. \n\nGreat Falls, Montana would not be considered in the Midwest.

There are about two-million people living in the St. Louis metro area, and I'm sure many have websites.\n\nI was born and raised there myself, but now live in Georgia (where it's even fargin hotter).

Niagara Falls USA and Niagara Falls Ontario are absolutely two separate and very very different cities. I'm from Buffalo, so I know this, been to the both sides of the falls many, many times.\nBerlin used to be, but nothing like that exists today to my knowledge.\nBut Niagara Falls? If you don't know, don't add to the ignorance out there.

Before the Louisiana Purchase, it was the west.  As the country grew, the population center moved west.  In 1900, the population center was in south central Indiana.  In 2000, the center moved to eastern Missouri.  Calling Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio the Midwest seem appropriate.  A newer trend is to call Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio the Great Lake States.  Missouri, Iowa, and other states near the Mississippi retain the Midwest title.

Tennessee's great!  I'm from Missouri and most people with provincial attitudes think the same things about Tennessee and Missouri.  But Tennessee has Nashville, Memphis, Gatlinburg, Johnson City and ... JACK DANIELS baby!!  (Don't forget Dave Ramsey, too!)

If you are looking for a large town in western WA, I'd say Olympia, has a small town atmosphere, but is the capitol and has all the shopping bells and whistles. Is about an hour from the coast and an hour from the mountains. Also is about an hour from Seattle and 1.5 hours from Portland.  It is the only capitol city in the US without an airport.\n\nI prefer smaller towns, so I would choose either Grays Harbor area or further north on the Canada line.

~Virtually everything in the Falls is for sale.  Problem is, a year after you buy it, it is going to be worth about half of what you paid for it.  Have you been there?  If you want bang for your buck, look in Lewiston.  Lockport might makes sense too.

The staked planes or Llano Estacado but it is not just the Texas panhandle and extends into Montana. I hope that you are not looking for Baja Oklahoma as an answer.

yea! i love doing this. and....i used to live in midwest city. i bet if you go to any little old farm town and the old outskirts of those towns where there are old abandoned buildings, you can find where the people used to dump the stuff that they couldn't incinerate. (often on the side of hills) i wish i were there to go hunting for stuff with you! have fun! p.s. if you are anywhere near okemah- that would be a great place to start out.

In 6 months you can learn many things about the people and culture of where you go to. Although there are similarities between the UK, US, and Australia there are differences beyond the similarities of language. I live in the US and when I visited the UK there was no language barrier, but there was still a bit of culture shock, although not as much as when I visited European countries. Since I live in the US I know that there are some stereotypes of Americans as not knowing much of the rest of the world and being self centered, and some Americans are like that but they are not the majority. It depends on what your interests are. I can only speak of what I am familiar with, which is the US. If you like big cities with many cultural amenities there is New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. If you like nature, there is Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Park, and the Grand Canyon. When I visited Europe it seemed smaller than I would have thought, so if you visit the US expect cities and attractions to be further apart than you may initially think. My opinion, which is probably biased due to where I live, is that the US has many different areas which can either be appealing or unappealing to people based on their preferences. As to where you should stay if you decide to visit the US, the possibilities are endless due to the diversity of the different cities and states. My personal opinion of the Top 10 places to see in the US would be Boston, New York, Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Antonio, Yellowstone Park, Grand Canyon, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Devil's head is good, but I like Cascade(5 min further) a little more. Granite Peak in Wausau is nice. They just renovated the whole place and added a bunch of runs. If you're willing to take the drive, Lutsen in Minnesota is a pretty big place, I think the largest in the midwest.\nCheck out www.goski.com  They list just about every resort in the country, as well as ones in other countries.

GVA Marquette Advisors is the company that does detailed studies of the area you refer to. "Apartment Trends" is a quarterly publication they publish that has detailed info. I would suggest contacting them to ask if they have a current edition and where it is available. Their info. is more detailed and current than US Census data I saw for 2005.\n\nhttp://www.gvamarquetteadvisors.com/site/in.htm\nMinneapolis/St. Paul\n\n333 South 7th Street,\n\nSuite 2300\nMinneapolis, MN 55402\nPhone: 612-335-8888\nFax: 612-334-3022
