Michiana ~ Come on, see what's here!

Michiana ... So, Where is it? What is it?
I have even been on trips and talking to strangers and find myself saying, "I'm from Michiana" knowing just as it comes out of my mouth that an explanation will soon follow. Often people from outside Michiana think it is a city. Our largest local airport was even called Michiana Regional for some time but it has now changed to South Bend Regional--probably so people can find it easier I am not really sure.
The picture shown here outlines the counties included in Michiana from the South Bend Chamber of Commerce. However, I did find other represtations showing other counties are included.
The photo and the following information was retrived from Wikipedia.org on June 19, 2008.
Michiana ...
"Michigan & Indiana ~ Oh, I get it!"
Counties that are Part of Michiana
includes 15 counties in Michigan & Indiana
It should be noted that because Michiana is not a legal or political entity, opinions differ about what counties and communities actually constitute the region. Some definitions of the entire Michiana area include fewer than 15 counties; others include Pulaski County and exclude some other outlying counties, notably those in extreme Northwest Indiana, whose residents identify more closely with Chicago than with the South Bend area.
