Goofy question on odor in n. denver
Does anyone know why the north Denver area, maybe North Washington area, smells like moth balls? I've noticed it most often around the I-25/I-76 exchange and have been curious about it for years. It's not always there, but definitely prevalent when it is!

I smell it too on my way to work. I just assumed there was some kind of chemical plant in the neighborhood. Good question!

The only thing I can think of is the dog food plant, but that is by I-25 and I-70, not 76

Dog food or mayhap the petroleum refinery in that area as well.

I smell it nearest to 58th ave and I25. I call it the mothball exit.

That's funny, I know what smell you're talking about as well. Nobody knows what it is though? Definitely not the dog food plant, as that is on I-70 quite a ways away.

I have never smelled moth balls. How do you get your nose between their little legs?
