Town's flying saucer.

Space Ship in Martian Town

Charming, small town with weird name and a predilection towards marketing the space theme. In the center of town, right off of Main Street, there is a silver/purple space ship. The Mars Laundromat is in the background. To the side, and not visible in the picture, is a four-sided post proclaiming "Peace on Earth" in four languages.

The town travel agency featured a sign of a little green Martian holding a suitcase.
