When did Indiana become "N. Eastern?" I think 12 hours driving time off the East Coast discounts that statement.
No, it does not. It takes 24+ to drive to Indiana from the west coast. If you had to divide the US in half Indy is in the North..and it's on the eastern half.

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to rekindle this stupid debate for a moment. I personally consider Indiana part of the Midwest, but I agree that, from the most annoying, obnoxious, technical, pedantic aspect, yes, Indiana is in the Northeastern quadrant of the United States.
I was on a road trip up there this past weekend and stopped at a McDonald's for breakfast one morning, where they had Iced Coffees, which they're apparently testing in certain markets. I tried one, and liked it.
So I'm searching around today, trying to find out if/when they'll be available here, and find this article:
McDonald's Tests Iced Coffee, Bakery ItemsIs it a bid against Dunkin' Donuts? An effort to muscle in on Starbucks? McDonald's is trying its hand at some new products, testing specialty iced coffees and bakery goods (think muffins and scones) in a limited number of restaurants in the Northeast.
To help its latest coffee offering, select McDonald's doled out samples of its iced coffee in the Boston market and other select Northeast locations last weekend. TV spots supported.
The QSR is releasing few details about the products or how long testing will continue, citing concerns about its competition. The company said it was too early to determine whether it would expand the product tests beyond the Northeast—the hub of coffee and baked good brands Dunkin' Donuts and Tim Hortons. Yet early indicators show customers are responding well to the new items.
So apparently McDonald's considers Indiana to be part of the Northeast. And, like I always say, if it's good enough for McDonald's, it's good enough for me.
I'm sure everyone in Indiana will be happy to know they're in the NE, then. I guess changing time zones doesn't count for much either?
Wuh? Unless I'm just misunderstanding (as is usually the case), the majority of Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone.
Anyway, as penance for going off-topic, I'll post this pic to get us back on:
Probably my all-time favorite Cindy Crawford pic. And I have proof. Gallons and gallons of proof.
