Nothing in particular

On our way from Vegas through Arizona, I looked up and I saw this sign. I thought we were in the middle of nowhere, but actually we were next to Nothing. Ladies, when you ask your husband what he’s thinking about?... Could this place be what is on his mind?

This image was found on Wikipedia...Back in the day when Nothing was really something!

And husbands, when you ask your wife "what is wrong?" This may be what she is complaining about.

The town of Nothing Arizona was Founded in 1977 by two drunks on a bar-bet.
The locals told travelers it "got named by a bunch of drunks."[2] Nothing has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[3]

The settlement was established in 1977 by Richard "Buddy" Kenworthy,[4] located 118 miles (190 km) northwest of Phoenix,[5] and 23 miles (37 km) south of Wikieup, (Elevation 3269ft.) known as the "rattlesnake capital of Arizona."[6] It is west of Bagdad at milepost 148½ on U.S. Route 93 (the Joshua Forest Scenic Parkway) between Wickenburg and Kingman, on the route from Las Vegas to Phoenix.[7]

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) installed one of four motorist call boxes on U.S. 93 at Nothing. That is Nothing to sneeze at either, because that is Nothing's big claim to fame! Aside from being the rattlesnake capital of Arizona.

At its height, Nothing had a population of four. The settlement contained a gas station and small convenience store and the sign once read:
"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."

Nothing was eventually abandoned on May 2005 when Kenworthy moved on from the settlement, and by August 2008, the disused gas station was beginning to collapse.[12] An attempted revival of Nothing occurred at some time after August 2008 when Nothing was purchased by Mike Jensen.[13] And by April 2009, Jensen had opened his pizza business, run from a portable oven, with hopes of reopening the mini-mart and creating accommodations for RVs.

However, in April 2011, Nothing was marked as abandoned once again. The building has fresh boards in the windows, and no sign of inhabitance or any activity. More recently the building has been repurposed and used as an "unofficial" bathroom for travelers. (one can only imagine that experience).

In 2016, Century 21 real estate company ran a "Give Dad Nothing" promotion where a free 24-hour lease to a piece of property at Nothing, Arizona could be secured for June 19, 2016 (Father's Day) only.[15] The promotion was done with the participation of the current property owner[16] and included a downloadable "Certificate of Nothing" and gift card.

Just ask Colonel Clink, he knows a thing or two about this place.

This is Nothing as it appears today. Over the years not a lot has changed, but then, after all Nothing remains the same.

I know you think I’m making a big deal out of Nothing…but if you have ever been there, you would know Nothing as well.

I hope this little article has helped you learn a little something about Nothing.
