You’ve all heard the cliches like colder than hell. He doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell. Colder than the hinges of hell.
When Hell freezes over. Well there’s all kinds of them and yes today I have included them for a valid reason.
See as of February 12 a snowball does have a chance in hell. That is because Hell has frozen over. There is a place called hell. In fact about seventy people live in Hell. There is a non denominational church in Hell, the Baptists, Catholics and Evangelicals have churches in surrounding communities but not in Hell.
When in Hell there are a few businesses like the Hell Hole Cafe, the ”Creamatorium’ ice cream parlor and the Hell Wedding Chapel. In fact anyone entering Hell can be the Mayor for a day. So what the hell is this about and where is Hell on earth?
Hell is a small community just outside of Ann Arbor Michigan.
It’s said, back in 1841 the towns folk had a hell of a sense of humor when they named the unincorporated town. The only redeeming factor for the State is, they also have a town named Paradise.
The real news is as I understand it there are some natural springs in the area so Hell doesn’t always freeze over. I have checked in from time to time to check the state of Hell and discovered on February 12th this year Hell froze over.
This is quite different than Texas where all hell has broken loose.

Went camping near there in ‘96, awesome mountain bike trails and the town definitely is a blip on the map.

It’s also been said that fear controls people… that’s why the church invented hell.

Another throughly enjoyable article, Fred. I’m not sure how many Hell’s there are in our world but I do know of another. When I was a teenager, my parents went on a well earned vacation to Grand Cayman in the Caribbean. My dad had the best sense of humour and was overjoyed to be able to send me a postcard from Hell. If anyone isn’t familiar with the geography of that area, it’s very well explained on Wikipedia and other places on the net. Mom and Dad brought home many postcards and it surely did resemble what one might imagine what Hell could look like. Although Hell is no larger than a small football field it is a very interesting tourist destination. I know if I dig through my “archives” that postcard is in there!
Publisher: Look for CM – You know who would print it. lol

I too have been to Hell and back! And, probably have the very same postcard.
