Occasionally, you might see Minneapolis, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Milwaukee, or Indianapolis if the writer feels like being different. In the minds of most TV and film writers, the idyllic culture of Little House On the Prairie persists into the 21st century. This comes from the pre-1950's idea of life in the Midwest as it actually used to be. Since then, however, much of the region has been urbanized or at least suburbanized (the famous Prairie mentioned above is probably a strip-mall now), but the image has persisted despite being a mostly idealized version of modern times. In old theatrical cartoons with farm settings, the soundtrack may include such standard snippets as "Old MacDonald Had a Farm", "Chicken Reel" or "Turkey in the Straw". And of course, Hilarity Ensues when the City Mouse tries to fit in. It is a part of Flyover Country and you can expect it to cross into Wild Wilderness if its a remote part of the country or to dip into Sweet Home Alabama even if its set in the Midwestern region, can over lap with Everytown, America if its near or set around a town. Do not confuse it with it Deep South, that is a trope dealing with social structure and people not the region itself, or a 'countrified version' of Suburbia as this trope exemplifies the openness of an area and sparseness of population and lack of housing.
