This unusual and unique gravestone was recently shared from a cemetery in Lenawee County, Michigan. The remains were accidentally unearthed during an MDOT (Michigan Department of Transportation) road project in 2010. Based on artifacts reportedly found with the remains, investigators believed the burial may have dated to before the 1860s and could have been connected to an old pioneer-era grave site. Despite the discovery receiving local attention at the time, the woman was never identified. The remains were later reburied and memorialized as “Jane Doe.”

For as long as anyone around Charlevoix can remember, the Villa Moderne Motel was jokingly known as the “Penis Motel” thanks to its… unmistakable neon sign out front.

The place is now under new ownership, and the sign was recently taken down as part of a facelift. Kind of feels like the end of a weird little local era.
