There are many exciting regions in North America, and they tend to have very positive self-images. Somehow, the Great Lakes region lost that confidence, and the image we put out for the world tends to be apologetic, rather than proud. We need to change that.
One of the most valuable exercises we can undertake is to pull together all of the image-affirming facts about our home, and show them to the world. I am certain there are thousands of sound bite-sized facts that are worth sharing with the world. We've coined a couple of the in the "Did you know" format like: "Did you know that if you combined the GDP of the 8 Great Lakes States and the 2 Great Lakes Provinces, you'd have the second largest economy in the world?"
Here's a challenge for the reader - identify as many "Did you know" facts about your home state or province, or the region, and share them here.
