Hell's 1/2 Acre is a nice little farm near Markerville, Alberta. The owner was in the yard and I asked if I could take a photo of his sign. He is not the original owner, he is from the United Kingdom and owned the place for about fourteen years. The prior owner was about eighty when he sold it and he was born in the area. It is a nice little place with a two storey farmhouse. The current owner does not know why the prior owner decided on that name.
I had to laugh, that used the be the unofficial name for the area that was our city's red-light district during the Uncivil War.
ReplyDeleteI see you've been in my area lol!
ReplyDeleteThe skulls are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI once lived in a place so remote than when asked for directions to it, I always said you go into the bowels of Hell and then come back a half mile. Perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to know the story behind that sign!
