Sure is! Can't be the Midwest because it's taller than 100 feet. Ok, that's a little hyperbolic. Illinois is the 45th highest state with a maximum elevation of 1,235 feet at Charles Mound. The name itself is a testament to its folly. PA towers over IL with a highest point of 3,213 feet. Both of these are dwarfed by my home state of NY at Mt. Marcy, which comes in at 5,344 feet (and, incidentally, which I have climbed - summit just does not seem right under 10,000 feet).
The point is, if you drive from Chicago to St. Louis, which I did at the inception of this blog, you will see nothing but flat corn fields. You will not see rolling hills dotted with pre-revolution homes. Philly - 2, Chicago - 0.
