Wisconsin, your post card is here.

These are kind of hard to find now. It's a post card of Wisconsin featuring a dense drawing of everything there is to be found in the state. Start planning your summer vacation today! Such attractions as "tires", "paper", and "shipping" await your gaping eye-holes! Reserve your place now, for some first-class dairying, unless you're a stupid jerk.



Get on down to Wisconsin, before all the rocks have been stood on.

You've unmasked my mother as a LIAR. When I was a kid she didn't allow us to pick trilliums because "It's the state flower and you'll get ARRESTED!"

Also, do you notice the state is oddly elongated, as though viewed from the viewpoint of a 30,000 foot tall giant standing in DeKalb?

Otherwise, though, it is very nice...

You made me look up "Wisconsin" in my Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (2000 edition). There it is to be found on page 101. Wisconsin turns out to be a state of the US. Thank you for educating me.

Don't be beating up on a state with more than 100 Dairy Queens. You just jealous ...

Nope! No beating up on Wisconsin. Maybe having a laugh at this postcard that wants us to get super cranked and run to Wisconsin to look at a shipping yard, though. We need Wisconsin for it's many fine beers, its hilarious road naming system, its Chicago-adjacent indoor foul-weather mountain biking.

jim d. - your mom was correct, except for the state flower part: Wisconsin

The trillium laws in Wisconsin are very similar to Minnesota, it is illegal to dig up, intentionally damage or remove Trilliums from public land or private land without the owner’s written consent. This law not only covers all species of Trilliums but other rare wildflowers that grow in the state. Interestingly, this law was passed back in 1923 to help protect the natural wildflowers of the state.
