Nothing, Arizona
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nothing is a town in Arizona with four inhabitants. Established in 1977, located about an hour west of Bagdad, Arizona at Mile Post 148 1/2, Highway 93.
The entire population runs a gas stop and garage.
The town sign reads "THE STAUNCH CITIZENS OF NOTHING ARE FULL OF HOPE AND FAITH AND BELIEVE IN WORK ETHIC. THRU THE YEAR THESE DEDICATED PEOPLE HAD FAITH IN NOTHING, HOPE FOR NOTHING, WORKED FOR NOTHING FOR NOTHING." The owners of Nothing are also quite the jokesters, in front of their gas station they have four boxes reading, White Bat, Copperheads, etc. Although inside the boxes are not what you'd think, a white baseball bat and a few copper pennies! They also have a cage of canaries, real canaries, that are quite talkitive. They hold souvenirs and a bathroom plus enough snacks for the rest of your trip in their gas station. It's a great place to stop on the way to Las Vegas and other places around there.
The Gas station has a flat bed truck selling rocks and minerals found nearby. Good value genuine local souvenirs in my humble opinion.
The Gas station attendant is a lovely interesting old guy (he was in 2003 - I hope he is still alive) and behind the gas station, doen the embankment is a small scrap heap.
There is an Airstream caravan there, amongst other items, that will be of interest to passers by!
