Hell Freezes Over in Michigan, USA



Two days ago the Arctic Vortex ( extreme historic cold temperature and wind velocity) engulfed all of the US except Southern California and Florida. One of the headlines that day that attracted my attention was Hell, Michigan Freezes Over. The headline reminded me of the article I posted in my blog a year ago listing all the unusual, bizarre and sexy names of towns and places in the United States. So where the heck is Hell Michigan? Here's what Wikipedia say:

"Hell, or Hiland Lake, is an unincorporated community in Putnam Township of Livingston County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is near the border with Washtenaw County, about 15 miles northwest of Ann Arbor. Hell is 3 miles southwest of Pinckney via Patterson Lake Road. The community is served by the Pinckney post office with ZIP Code 48169". The town has about 600 residents.

Now that we know that Hell exists, is there a Heaven in the US?

I do not think there is such a place, but there is a Paradise, California that my wife and I visited last year. There is also Heavenly Hills and Heavenly Valley, CA, Little Heaven, Delaware and Heaven Heights, MA. Unusual names, indeed!
