Photos of Nothing taken in July 2008:

The town of Nothing used to be something: a rock shop, gas station, garage and store. And, as the sign reminds us, a population of four. Now, there is nothing here but abandoned buildings falling into ruin.

News flash! Once again, there's something at Nothing!

In the year since I took the July 2008 photos of the deserted site of Nothing and a July 2009 visit when I took these photos, the "town" has been reborn! The property has been bought by Pizza Man Mike, is open for business. We spoke with Bonnie and Tim (who, plus one dog, bring the population back up to four), and found them to be genuinely friendly and enthusiastic about their plans for gradually renovating this middle-of-nowhere business. My daughter and I each had one of Bonnie's personal pizzas, and declared them to be excellent; the wood-fired crust was perfectly done, and the fresh ingedients were delicious. Best of all for the traveler in a hurry, the pizzas only take about 90 seconds to cook! Next time you're traveling between Wickenburg and Kingman, make it a point to stop at Nothing and buy a pizza and some souvenirs -- your patronage will help keep Nothing something!

Photo of Nothing taken in October 2023:

In February 2011, it was reported that Pizza Man Mike and his crew had pulled out and Nothing was once again deserted. My return visit in October 2023 confirmed this; the one remaining building was covered with graffiti.

Directions: Between Wickenburg and Kingman, on the east side of Highway 93 between mile markers 148 and 149.

Last visited: October 2023.
