Is Idaho considered west coast? I just assumed west coast was California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. Arizona I classify as southwest along with Texas and New Mexico. Midwest is Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Dakotas (Fanning and Johnson), Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
@@jasonvargas7564 Midwest is kinda a hard definition because of how different the eastern Midwest is the to the western Midwest. But most people inside the Midwest consider the borders to be Ohio to Kansas and North Dakota. Most people west of those states also do not consider themselves Midwesterners.
@@bigfish3846 that’s interesting. I would have thought they identify more with the people from your definition of Midwest more than “west coast” states since culturally I’d say it’s more similar to Midwest than west coast, politically too.

The reason that restaurant mentioned by Aleena in Cuba is named Versailles, a french royal residence. Is because in the 19th and 18th centuries there was a mass migration of french people to Cuba, especially the eastern part, and it heavily influenced the culture.
