Illinois, Indiana and Ohio all claim to be Mid-West. WTF, get a map people!

Hi Ed,
I'm from Iowa, I've been going to games at Wrigley since 1975, have a ton of relatives in IL (father from Wheaton), and am kind of familiar with Illinois although I haven't been there in three years. Illinois people. landscape, agriculture, etc. are all representative of the Midwest and I have always heard of Illinois as being part of the Midwest.
I have never heard the term Mid-East applied to anywhere in the US. Is it a term you hear a lot? You learn something new every day.
