    Milton Hershey made chocolate, a town, and a school that inherited a controlling interest in the chocolate company.

      Looked it up, that school seems very cool. It does sound like you’re describing Willy Wonka though.

    You are going to think I made this up, but the street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses.

      Like in the town town or the amusement thing. Did this dude happen to enslave small-statured orange people by chance?

        The town, or at least the main street that goes by the factory. As far as I know, no orange people were enslaved.
        Seriously though, Milton Hershey was surprisingly progressive for his time. He built affordable homes for his workers and helped them become home owners. The school he built was originally for orphaned boys.
