Ah, the midwest. When you think about it, and you don’t, you probably envision cornfields, barbituates, alcoholism, and maybe a little cousing fucking (though not as much as in the south).
To help overcome these perceptions, midwestern cities are proposing bold new mottos to showcase what they have to offer. Here are the top slogans for 2025:
Chicago, IL: The City to Get Blown In
Detroit, MI: Tire Tracks All Across Your Back, I Can See You’ve Had Your Fun
Saint Paul, MN: The Twin City That Fucks
Minneapolis, MN: Prince Thought We Were Ok
Omaha, NE: We Will Eat Your Vegan Friend
Cleveland, OH: No River Fires Since the Summer of ’69. (Bryan Adams, please write a song sequel.)
South Bend, IN: Get Bent!
St. Louis, MO: Your Gateway Drug to the West
Des Moines, IA: You’ll Never Spell or Pronounce It Right
Kansas City, MO: So Much More Than Just Racist
Milwaukee, WI: If You Want To Visit Every State, You’re Kind Of Stuck With Us or Madison
