What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "Midwest values"? I can sum it up with one simple story (actually, it's a story that repeats itself daily). I take public transportation to work every day and each night I notice as passengers pause before exiting the bus. Each of them, as if they were old friends, tell the driver, "Thank you! Have a good night." There it is: two strangers in a crowded city wishing each other a pleasant evening. It's a simple, yet beautiful gesture that plays out here each night in the Midwest, and it's something that I'll never tire of seeing.
