Guess the City 29

[Tranplanner]

Okay, this one's a little obscure - but I figure if someone can post Tallinn, I can do this place.

Sudbury, Ontario?

If not that, I would guess Butte, Montana or El Paso

Holy SH*T!

You got it on the first guess - it is indeed Sudbury, Ontario.

Site of my upcoming nuptials.

BKM's prize:

A case of northern red maple - yum!

Well, I assumed Ontario. And the only city in Ontario "notorious" for a smelter stack is Sudbury. Never been there (I like visiting obscure places, but I've only been in the Lake Erie crescent in Ontario).

Is it true that there is a large landscape "dead zone" around the nickel smelter?

Chalk up another similarity ....an image from the site of my nuptuals in June...

There used to be, but Sudbury has really made an effort to re-green itself. There's now talk of preserving some of the fast-disappearing "dead zone". The stack you see in the pic is largely responsible for the recovery - they built it so high the pollution now lands a couple of hundred kilometres downwind...

Historic Preservation run amuck!

I can attest to that. During the last month we have had pollution attributted to Ontario and the New England States.
