MINI2

I've moved the various threads into the Regional Forums.

Some of the moves were a judgement call. Does Texas go with the South or Southwest? Is Ohio Mid Atlantic or Midwest? So if you think I placed your thread in the wrong forum, just let me know.

Threads drawing a national crowd were left in the US forum.

Now it looks like a full time job for you...good luck, looks great!

April, I didn't see a list of what states are in what regions, but this is almost the kinda thing that starts civil wars.

Kentucky is a border state. Some say South, some say Midwest. Ohio can go three different ways, depending on what part of the state you are in.

Personally, wherever the borders are, I would like to see Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana in the same group. I am a member of MiniOKI, and we're trying to keep our folks together in the same club.

Thanks

I always thought Ohio was part of the midwest for three reasons:

The Ohio river, which forms most of Ohio's eastern edge (and southern, too, but thats not the issue here) was the original "border" between the established east and the frontier west. So it has never been part of the "east", and therefor not related to the atlantic part of "mid-atlantic".

Related to this is that most of the land west of the Ohio river was turned into farmland, which we associate with Mid-West. On the east side of the Ohio River its all pretty much mountains (such as they are).

Finally, the Mid-Atlantic states are all part of the territory of the original 13 colonies. West VA was not one of the 13, but broke off from VA around the Civil War (West VA was pro Union), so is often considered part of the Mid-Atlantic. But Ohio- no way.

miniyoda · Jan 14th, 2003, 05:13 PM

well, I've seen Ohio refered to as a Mid-Atlantic state, a Mid-West state, and a Great Lake state, depending on who said it, their frame of mind, and their location (Clevelanders treat Cincinnatians differently, for some reason. Those in Cincy think the NE part of the state is too similar to Pittsburgh, while those up north think that Cincy belongs in Kentucky).

Since my dealership is in Ohio, I live in Kentucky, and Indiana is fairly related to the two states, I decided to create a club for all three states. That's why I'm hoping that these three are together when grouping regions on MINI2.

Thanks, I'll make sure I keep those three states together.

Midwest ok? It's not a very active forum yet, unlike the Mid Atlantic.

Not active yet, but working on it. We cover 4 dealers, one of which is reported to have the highest sales in the US.

Thanks

Good job, and thank you again!

Nicely done AW! *whew* must've been a lot of work, is Paul giving you a MINI for this? I thought we lost the Dragon Run thread, teeheeheehee...

AprilWhine · Jan 16th, 2003, 03:42 PM

Any thread that draws from more than one region, I left in the USA national forum.

Thanks for all the kudos!

COOPERation · Jan 16th, 2003, 03:58 PM

Thanks for all of the geography lessons, and AW, superb job as always...but wouldn't it be easier if Ohio just seceded from the Union and became a separate country? Just a thought...

after seeing their new license plate, let's let Kentucky seceed.....or KICK THEM OUT. I'll move to ohio.

AprilWhine · Jan 16th, 2003, 08:49 PM

Good idea! Didn't they let their river catch fire a few years ago? Kick em outta here!

But really, I thought I heard that Louisana did have a bill to secede, but it died in the state congress.

Some of the states were hard to decide. Pacific Northwest is obviously WA and OR, but should it include ID? KY is both part of the south and midwest. VA belongs in both the mid Atlantic and southeast. OK, midwest or southwest?

See?

COOPERation · Jan 16th, 2003, 09:11 PM

And AW I would nominate you Queen of Virginia, and move the capital to Nahfolk.

AprilWhine · Jan 16th, 2003, 10:22 PM

Thank you for the nomination, COOP! But there are many places much better suited to be the capital than Norfolk.

Besides, I think VA tried that once before...

Remember in "History of the World, Pt 2", Mel Brooks would squeeze the charmin on the young ladies, then say "it's good to be king!" That queen idea might not be bad...

Yea, a place that made very cheap bourbon caught fire, and thousands of gallongs of bourbon went into the kentucky river, some of it on fire at the time. killed hundreds of fish that somehow managed to survive the crap that is in the river to begin with. One DJ in Lexington opened his show that afternoon with the Willie Nelson song Whiskey River.
