Have you been to "Hell"? I have. It's a geologic feature on Grand Cayman good for a twenty minute visit where you can also mail a postcard. One of these days, I'll drive up north to Michigan.
How about "Paradise"? Yes, it's a town in California that got wiped off the map in 2018. All the friends I knew up there survived.
Technically much of the Las Vegas Strip is outside Las Vegas city limits, but in the unincorporated community of Paradise. The northern end is in the unincorporated community of Winchester.
Yes, Hell Township wasn't far from me in Michigan and I briefly lived in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
I've been to Intercourse, PA.
Both Paradise and Hell, both in Michigan.

I forgot about that!!!
How about Fucking, Austria before it got renamed?
Paradise is a place in Mt. Rainier National Park that I've enjoyed many times.

I went there in 2017. Also to the Paradise in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Paradise River in Labrador on a branch of the Trans-Labrador Highway.
I've been to almost heaven, West Virginia :bigass:
I have been to both the Michigan Paradise and the Pennsylvania Paradise. As for Ohio, I know where the Getaway is and where one can seek Aid (both in Lawrence County)

Hell's Backbone is a road sadly that doesn't get features as much as it deserves to be.

If you've played Minecraft, hell (well, the game calls it the Nether) is
much more mountainous.
Hell for me is waking up every morning with loss of urgency and motivation to get you going. Then as it's time for work, and you suddenly remember the things you were supposed to do.
Than Paradise I been to in PA on US 30 near Lancaster.
I've been to Paradise, Utah (for the sole purpose of clinching SR 165). It is by all accounts a very typical Utah farm town.

Does Hell have people laying on their car horn and complaining about apartment complex parking lot incursions on YouTube?

As have I.
This was (maybe still is) posted in the parking lot of a bar on County Road D-32 in Hell:

I was reading the latest issue of
Stereophile while eating lunch and discovered Middelfart, Denmark (https://www.google.com/maps/@55.5083558,9.7474839,13.83z).
I actually live in Paradise, hence my name. No, quite literally I live in an unincorporated area called "Paradise".

No, it's uphill. Both ways.
Off the top of my head: Eden and Paradise (towns), and a geologic feature called Devil's Backbone, all in TX. There're probably a few more that would qualify but I've gotten old and cant remember as well as I used to.
I've been near Paradise, Ky., the town made famous by John Prine. It's a small community that's the sight of a TVA power plant on the Green River.
I've also been by Hell For Certain, Ky., which is also known as Dryhill, which is located adjacent to the Hal Roger Parkway in Leslie County near the KY 257 overpass.
I've been to Hell, which is a rock formation in the Cayman Islands, BWI. Sort of an out-of-place area, not that big, of broken limestone rocks. Tourist trap, with a gas station the "Hell Service Station" selling various Hell themed stuff.
BTW, they sell gasoline (petrol) in Imperial gallons, priced in Cayman Islands dollars. The math is impossible.

They cancel out pretty much exactly.
1 Imperial gallon = 1.20095042 US gallons
1 Cayman Islands dollar = 1.2 US dollars (currency is pegged)
I've been to Paradise, MI several times. I think I was in Paradise Valley, AZ once on a trip to Scottsdale.
I've also been through Blue Ball, OH many times.
I have been to Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

This reminded me of this sign I found a while ago:
