This town must smell GREAT! Just think about it... The large factory on the east side of view with the brown stain on the roof. Want to know what that stain is? Try figuring it out before you look at this link
In the center of view is an amusement park. Nope not Disney or Knots or even Six Flags.
I need to visit this town!
They even have a Giant vehicle that travels around the U.S. giving out free samples.
Talk of pollution. Check the current Shanghai city view. You can see easily the milky haze over the city. A friend just returned from there and reported that the smog was so thick that he took an umbrella with him from the hotel, mistaking the smog for an overcast day.
I am not sure what you are saying is pollution. The area of your marker is part of ZooAmerica and is an unused location just beyond the porcupine exhibit. The round things to the south of the marker are umbrellas at the zoo's one food stand. The brown stain on the roof of the factory building may indeed be actual chocolate. That building is where the cocoa beans are roasted in long ovens. I believe the stains may be very old however, as I worked there in 1979 and a job I had was to clean out the smoke scrubber from the 9 ovens in the building. The round structures on the roof appear to indicate the locations, a few floors below, of the ovens, which stretch most of the way east-west (actually, ENE-WSW but you get the idea) across that building. When I was there at least one oven was gone. I remember their being spaces for 10 but only 9 were there.
And yes, the town CAN smell good. On still days the chocolate smell permeates the heart of the town. To the west is the Reese's plant, and often roasting peanuts can be smelled on that end of town.
To tell if it is, just sea photos from image google. I live in shanghai, the pollution is not good here, but it is not so bad.
Shanghai will host the 2010 World Expo., trucks running everywhere to carry mud and build something. ....the pollution is bad in recent one or two year. But my friend came back from Australia, he said Melbourne is something like that.

Mmmm!, that roof does have the unusual ability to set off a Pavlovian reaction. But it is, in fact, possible to get weary of that sort of "pollution" with constant exposure to it, as may be the case with the local townspeople. I worked in a candy factory in a different location one summer, and we were allowed to eat as much of the stuff as we wanted. By the end of the summer, I was temporarily cured of any craving for it. But save me a bite of that roof, unless the ants have gotten there first. Chomp!
Attached is an overlay of the above screen capture for future reference in case someone eats up all the chocolate.
So you walk across the park and you suddenly inhale the chocolate smog. You don't really know if it's bad for you or if it's good for you. You go to the nearest store, buy a chocolate and eat it like a maniac.
Chocolate smog. Worst than usual smog because it smells and it tastes better!
