This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The message on this sign hasn't been updated in over 10 years, but got scrambled sometime between 2021 and 2022

Edit: Actually, the last line "Free Internet" was removed sometime between 2018 and 2021. RIP Free Internet.

Although the "restaurant" sign was replaced sometime between 2014 and 2016

if you like geoguessr try https://whentaken.com/ it's been a real challenge and fun connecting history with geography

Show off. Lol. But thank you for blurring it out. How'd you get it? What, what narrowed the search?

I'll DM you.

After you play enough Geoguessr you learn what every part of america looks like. The green forested hills and american pickup trucks everywhere give away the approximate region; the Weigels (found on a list of USA gas station chains) is apparently unique to one city; and the Executive Inn makes the last pinpointing step much easier.
