This Morning: The Midwest Is the New It Girl

Apparently the Midwest is having a moment… and honestly? It’s about time. Today we talk about why cities like Cincinnati are quietly becoming the it-girl places to live (affordable! friendly! emotionally stable seasons!), and why the secret might finally be out.We also get into the energy of Cincinnati’s Opening Day — which is less of a baseball game and more of a regional personality trait — plus a very real TSA moment that made me question everything about airport timing and human behavior before coffee.And, of course, a little weekend recap: where I’ve been, what I noticed, and the small things that stuck with me more than expected.Basically: Midwest pride, airport chaos, baseball optimism, and a soft landing back into the week together. If you want company, press play. ✈️⚾️🌤️https://www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/03/midwest-migration-sun-belt/686468/?gift=1_g8lnKkCeXvwhiRAbkDh_RyH0LrKO7hzQioAF0gJsw&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
