Must add some of these to 'my bucket list' might give the oil platform a miss though!

Did the author not do even the most basic research for this article? It is no mystery how Hell, Michigan got its name. In German, "hell" means "bright" Still, I wonder how many road trips have started off with "I'm going straight to Hell!"?
