That’s because Chicago, as the Encyclopedia of Chicago itself puts it, is the “capital of the Midwest”—the commercial and industrial hub of a region built on commerce and industry. “Midwest” is applied to a chunk of America that seems unclassifiable to the rest of the country: neither North, South, East or West.
