As far as I know the midwest is west of the Mississippi River ( but IL, ID, and OH are included ) to the Rockies so you are welcome. Even if it isn't the midwest, welcome anyway! We can talk food, books, sites, and whatever else. I like to spelunk so where are some good places besides Marvel and Carlsbad? ( spelunkers are people who like to search caves...

)
If you you like:
brown beans, ham, and cornbread
fried okra
Bar-B-Que
You are probably a midwesterner at heart ! :p
P.S. Where is a good place to score some good antiques and junque ( fancy word for junk ) ?
