>From an historical perspective: At one time, the term "West" referred to anything over the Appalachians and was not considered the South. As the western U.S. boundaries extended, anything between the Appalachians and the Rockies became the Middle West, and areas of the Rockies and farther became the West or the far West. Hence, the inclusion of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan into the region known as the Midwest.
Yet there may be other commonalities. Can you tell an Iowa or Nebraska accent, say, from a Michigan accent? There are differences, but they are far less striking than say, Michigan (where we speak properly) and New York. (I'm ducking now!) ;-)

I'm from Ann Arbor, too, and I'm with Lou: I've never heard otherwise.
For instance, The Midwest Music Conference is in Ann Arbor every year. I
can come up with lots of other examples, if necessary.
