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.

You can buy a (rather expensive) scale model of a Menards in Menards. (i.imgur.com)

I am from California and can practically feel the mid western energy radiating from this picture. I also have no clue what the fuck a Menards is but ill hazard a guess that it is either a Minnesota or Wisconsin thing.

The whole Midwest. I'm in Indiana.

I meant where Menards started, kinda like how Wal-Mart is an Arkansaner company.

Oh yeah, I think you're right in that case. I think it's Wisconsin.

Fucken A, my guess was entirely based off the fact it sounds like a great lakes Norwegian name.

My understanding is it's Home Depot but green and only in flyover states.

Ohio and Michigan. It's like if a Home Depot merged with WalMart
