What's the Smelliest city you know and why does it smell? (place, airport)

Some unique "city smells" I've experienced....

Keokuk, IA: Corn syrup factory

Pekin, IL: Something similar, thought I was back in Keokuk...

Macon, MO: Con-Agra (Banquet) Pie factory (yumm!)

Burlington, IA: Cookie factory (YUMMM!!)

Columbia, MO: Small Quaker Oats facillity (I went past the BIG one in Cedar Rapids once, but don't remember the smell...)

Of course I've been around some BAD ones, but I guess I've blocked them out....

New York....just the pollution and trash everywhere, depressing place.

Any city that has a city dump and you happen to be down wind from it.

Dundalk, Md ~ The waste water treatment facility

Hunt Valley, MD ~ This all depends on what McCormick is doing that day but sometimes what they are cooking smells nasty. But when they do the baking spices like cloves and cinnamon then it's good.

Philadelphia. Smells of urine and homeless people. Although I lived there and like the city it is stinky, expecially in the summer.

Gilroy smells...like garlic!

San Fransisco's Market Street - It is the capital of sidewalk urination.

Yeah, Pre-K I would have put NOLA up as well. Since Katrina, the City has contracted with a new waste management company. I must say that they have done an excellent job in the Quarter. They are even spraying the sidewalks and streets with some kind of scented wash. Its funny, the "garbage men" have become celeberties(sp) here, people are stopping to give them compliments and thumbs up. We have the happiest sanitation workers in the world right now.

Mobile, AL (paper mill) at night is hideous. I'd also throw in Troy, NY and Staten Island.
