I don't mean work in progress stuff. I mean a place of glory for the unshareable, the embarrassments, the failures, the projects you shelved years ago but won't restart or let go of entirely; preferably with a humorous meme twist or mascot. Am I the only one that would find this therapeutic and interesting? Ideas?

I don't know that I could come up with enough to really contribute to a community, but just because this post made me think of it:

“Polehenge” was a Michigan roadside curiosity located north of St. Johns along US-127. It consisted of over 30 poles standing in a field, reminiscent of the famous Stonehenge, but with wooden poles instead of stone monoliths. I used to drive past it multiple times per summer.

No one really knew what it was or why it was there. The most common story is that Polehenge was the remains of an unfinished pole barn, possibly abandoned due to the swampy land or issues with building permits. It wasn't near any other structures, so it seemed like an odd place for a barn to me, but I'm no farmer.

After standing for decades, in 2020, Polehenge was finally torn down, ending its legend forever.
