Most regions of the U.S. have an accent ... the midwest accent is noticeable only if you are from another region. The west/pacific northwest is known for having the "clearest" accent ... but midwest is not far from it. Try going to the south or new england state and you won't think twice about a midwest accent!! LOL
Various regions of Canada also have different accents ... with the Prairie provinces (just above the american midwest) having a very similar, but more pronounced, accent.

Minnesotans have a reputation for having an accent, but I don't see or hear why. If you listen to national newscasters, they talk just like people in Minnesota do. Stations often recruit people from the upper midwest due to the lack of an accent. People from other parts of the country believe Minnesotans have a Norwegian (Norvegion!) accent, but other than a few older residents who choose to talk that way to keep their heritage, the Minnesota accent is false.

I have known several people who live in Minnesota and boy do they talk funny. I think they must have brain freeze up there, it's so cold.
