More Fun with Maps

Here's a map that purports to show how Chicagoans view the Midwest and beyond. Using "The Klan" to describe the Southeast is a novel touch but could just as easily be used to describe southern Indiana.

We're more interested by what's missing from this map. Like cheese in Wisconsin; Lutherans in Minnesota; tornadoes across Iowa and Missouri; a large bonfire for Detroit; open wheel race cars for Indianapolis; and "Downstate" to describe the rest of Illinois.

We should have been a cartographer. Maybe in the next life.
