I've actually been there, I have a postcard. :-D I think there are a total of 13 "Hell"s in the US, on the map at least. I don't think any of them are too large though, and most of them are in the mid-west... aka the Godless North. :-P

I had stores that I oversaw in Livonia and Utica  :-D

jwhouk:
There's a reason for duplicate naming: New Yorkers were the first to settle in many parts of the Northwest Territory, especially Michigan and Ohio.

And where are those moon pies?

It's a lunar calendar thing, and originally a harvest festival. It makes even less sense here in Australia, where it is late spring/early summer...
