Generally, industrial based cities with factories and manufacturing smell, so with all due respect, I don't see why a malodorous, polluted atmosphere warrants a thread? |

Is this thread about smelly cities?
I had a girlfriend ask me once to "kiss her where it stinks".
I took her to Zug Island. (rimshot) |

Terra Haute, Indiana is a smelly place. Before claiming your city smells, visit Terra Haute. |

Because cities are supposed to smell like roses. They aren't supposed to have traffic. There should be zero crime. They should have a Cheesecake Factory.
And until all of this happens, no one will ever consider moving into Detroit (or Ferndale). |

Try waking up in Chinatown in NYC. I had a friend who used to live above a fish market. Enough said. |

I actually kind of like "What was that smell" and "Did you hear that noise last night" threads. It's fun to watch people slowly pinpoint the origins with their reports. |

JL,
Maybe there should be a special shortwave channel just for tracking odors and sounds. Seems there's enough interest ;-) |

Cities smell (or do they stink)? Try driving in the countryside around Sioux City or Jacksonville. |

Well, the country doesn't smell like soap and fresh-baked bread all the time either. |

One person's smell is another's stink. |

Mt. Clemens used to smell, but I think they closed down the mineral baths. |

Can't confirm Houston, but I can confirm that on a good day, with a soft Westerly wind, Paris smells of croissants, fish, and gauloises- not piss, though their public toilets are called pissoirs. Over to you... |

Buffalo, New York... the worst smell you can imagine.
Akron, Ohio, isn't that great either. |

I always thought Paris smells like a cross between diesel exhaust and cigars. Plus, I don't think it has a Cheesecake Factory. I like it anyway. |

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Gary yet. I was always under the impression that the whole country thought of Gary as the "Armpit of America". |

Savanna can smell pretty bad if the wind is wrong, paper mills. |
