The Chocolate Silos of Brook Park, Ohio

If you saw this sight on a road trip, you'd never forget it. It would make you crave chocolate, don't you think? These three silos sit near the Malley’s Chocolates factory in Brook Park, a suburb of Cleveland. The silos are 88 feet tall and each is 12 feet wide. They can easily be seen from the nearby 480 freeway, and have become local landmarks. 

The silos were recycled from a bankrupt factory across the road in 2011. Is storing cocoa, milk, and sugar in silos even feasible? We don't know, but that was the original plan. There were to be tunnels underneath the silos to move the raw materials to the factory when needed. Moving the silos, setting them up, and painting them pink was quite a job. But the plan to store cocoa, milk, and sugar in them was scrapped before they were ever filled. Still, they serve as a long-term advertisement for Malley's Chocolates. -via Boing Boing
