| Nothing was an odd experiment to create town
on the long desolate stretch of US93 between Wickenburg and Kingman.
Nothing is located on mile marker 148.5 in the northbound lands of US
93. Nothing now hosts literally "nothing" except a good stopping point
for the curious and truckers on the way to Las Vegas. Nothing was
founded as Arizona's smallest community in 1977. ADOT once installed a
sign at Nothing that read the following: "Town of Nothing Arizona.
Founded 1977. Elevation 3269ft. The staunch citizens of Nothing are
full of Hope, Faith, and Believe in the work ethic.
Thru-the-years-these dedicated people had faith in Nothing, hoped for
Nothing, worked at Nothing, for Nothing." In 2005 Nothing was
completely abandoned and by 2008 the gas station began to fall into
disrepair. Currently all that remains of Nothing is ironically named
"All-Mart" and a couple building foundations. The sign on the All-Mart
reads that the population of Nothing is four people, four that are
obvious long since moved on. The large "Nothing" sign is actually the
remains of the Nothing Rock Shop which the concrete foundations can
still be seen. Rumor has it that the town of Nothing was abandoned in
2005 after a grease fire consumed most of it while a resident was
cooking a pizza. Nothing is currently for sale but if the I-11 project
goes through will likely cease be razed creating an ironic end by
literally becoming nothing. Submitted by: Tom Fearer |
