Midwestern summer is in full swing. We're scratching ourselves silly after all of those pesky mosquito bites. We're grilling up brats for our friends and serving them with a smile. We're taking trips to the Dunes to roll down them really fast. We're dipping our toes into Lake Michigan because no matter how hot it is outside, it's still ice cold in that lake. We're calling up our buds and seeing if they want to come over to drink PBR on our patio with us. And guess what? They do. They always do.

But Midwestern summer doesn't just happen. You have to call it into your life. You can't wait around for it to fall into your lap; you have to lace up your New Balances, go out there, and get after it. So if you're in need of a little Midwesterness this summer, we've got you covered.

These memes are the perfect way to lock into the Midwestern energy with just one glance. They'll make you feel like you're in Grand Rapids. Or Des Moines. Or De Kalb. Or Tecumseh. Or anywhere in between. So just keep scrolling and you'll start to feel the energy in no time. It's the Memebase promise.
