The Midwest knows how to keep its secrets. And for good reason: with their landscapes sometimes reminiscent of New England, sometimes of wild Quebec, their legendary figures such as Dylan and Hemingway, their northern lights, and even their Tibetan temples, the Central States have plenty to surprise, and to charm. Of course, there is Chicago, the headline city and nerve centre of the region, from which it is easy to set out and explore the Great Lakes. There is also Detroit, a city in the midst of a revival, with a truly unique industrial and cultural history. And then there is Cleveland, the discreet outsider, where a new wind is blowing. Indianapolis, the city of many speeds, and the vast plains and magnificent forests of Indiana. Missouri and its capital, St Louis, where the Gateway Arch is said to mark the departure point of the Lewis and Clark expeditions. The famous covered bridges of Madison County, in the state of Iowa. The Old West spirit of Oklahoma, between plains and the Ozark Mountains; Kansas, with its ranches and museums; the desolate tone of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. A journey through the Midwest is a promise of a deep dive into the heart of America.
