Damn you're good - I have indeed lived in Chicago.
I have had the pleasure of spending significant time in Southern Indiana and less significant time in Northern Michigan and in Iowa. Midwest? Much of upstate New York is oddly reminiscent of Southern Indiana.
Let's face it, most of the rust upstate has fully decayed and blown away. These days, it's farmland punctuated by ruins, with the occassional minor college or university (e.g., Syracuse, Hobart) nestled in the ruins and odd little suburbs adrift in the netherworlds between. The difference between eating white bread in the whistestop cafe in Southern Indiana farmland or Southern Tier New York farmland is insignificant.
