    Whoever made this underestimates the shore of a Great Lake, I see. Ohio and Michigan already have beaches.

      Minnesota and Wisconsin too. And with the Eerie canal, they all have access to the ocean

        If we’re just gonna start counting whether or not our waterways have access to the ocean, then pretty much every Midwestern state counts by way of the Mississippi’s drainage basin. 32 states have tributary rivers that find their way to the Mississippi, and then to the Gulf.

        Incidentally, I love the detail in this map where the state of Mississippi no longer touches the Mississippi River, and the city of New Orleans is apparently divided across the states of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas.

      After this map, Ohio no longer has a Great Lake Beach.
      They’ll just be left with a salty proboscis through Mary’s West Virginia.

        Yeah, Chicago here. Fuck the ocean, give me back my lakeshore.

        Edit: actually, if I’m still physically in Chicago, I guess it doesn’t matter overly much whether it’s Chicago, IL or Chicago, WI, though I think Illinois needs us more, from a political perspective.
