Personally, I don't see what you find so wrong with the Midwest. I've 
been in all the lower 48 states; all except for Louisiana before I 
was 14. I've been to many countries outside of the US as well; at 
least 12 - 15.

Having seen all of that geography, I would happily live in the 
Midwest before many other areas.

If you don't like it, be happy you don't (have to) live there. But it 
isn't necessary to call it a "shithole". It isn't.
