Write a comment about regions in your country here!

In the United States, there are five regions, the northeast, the southwest, the west, the southeast and the midwest. I am from the mid-west. I am near Lake Michigan. Also, the Mississippi River is about four hours away from my home by car.
The midwest is known for agricultural products. The most famous region in the midwest is Chicago. It is beautiful. You should go!!
