Usages vary (and change over time), but I'm not sure how you've got "mid" south of "non-adjectived" and nothing to be in the middle of.

For that matter, saying that Silicon Valley extending north out of Santa Clara county is a bit controversial.

Only in America would the very best crop land be paved over and covered with hideous concrete buildings...
Stupid it is, but Apple makes more money than apples do.

When's the party?
Halloween (literally, and much to my annoyance as a kid as my parents were anti-sugar way before it was cool to be anti-sugar, and cake AND candy on the same day were right out.)

Or somewhere mileage-runned-to overseas earlier in the month.

Not exactly an upstanding reference work...
Run by the same people who founded the PA Daily News, so they've got some local cred.

All this typing is making me hungry. I need a burger.
Well, if you make it up this far north, try Jeffrey's. Kirk's is on my list to try next time I'm that far south and am not already being dragged somewhere to lunch by coworkers.
