Hell Michigan

It just hit me that I still have a few things to write about concerning my last trip to Michigan!

After many suggestions to do so, we did make it to Hell. Its a bit of a novelty, and there isn't much going on in Hell, but they sure know how to have a fun time with a cool name.

There are 3 business buildings in Hell, all right next to each other. They are small. One is a post office/grocery store/lunch place. It is a very understocked grocery store. They do have Hell postmarks though. Also, I was told that it is the only post office in the US that can actually print "Hell" on their postmark! Another thing, they can singe your mail!

Next to the post office is the novelty shop/ice cream place. Most novelties that you might want from Hell (t-shirts, post cards, patches, etc.) are here. They have one of my favorites, a smashed penny machine. They have ice cream, and you can actually use their topping bar which is inside of a real (and USED) coffin. The lady running the shop had a great time using the name of the town every chance she could. Each use was witty.

Next door is a bar. We didn't make it there though.

Hell is out of the way. We had to drive about 10 miles there and back off of the main road. It's worth it though for the novelties, the one of a kind postmark, or just to say you've been to Hell.
