I'm from Indianapolis, IN, much like Bob. A big difference between the midwest and International cities is the need for a car to get around. Indianapolis is so spread out (and our public transportation so poor) that one needs a car in order to function. Having been all over the midwest and lived in Ohio for a time I feel comfortable saying that as a blanket statement for the Midwest.
Also, we're a very divided country- culturally, politically, geographically, etc. Whether it's the East Coast, Midwest, South, Southwest, or West Coast you'll come to find different values in each. We're a nation founded, explored, and colonized by a bunch of guys who fancied themselves rugged individualists and that individuality so it makes sense we'd have distinct individual regions.
