a few of my experiences (besides standard subway urine stench)...

NYC - our apt buliding was next to a McDonalds and ,during the summers when they left the garbage out, watch out!! its like a Mike Tyson knockout

Philly - doesn't usually smell like roses anyway, but in the summer, the horse carriages drop deuces on the narrow streets of Society Hill ..and...oh boy. i don't know how the people can stand it living there…I guess they're at the shore..
Per Chicago, the underpasses and walkways under Lake Shore Drive have smelled like pee since 1953...........oh boy, do you get knocked out by the smell..too bad its the only way to get to the beach.....

Tacoma, WA. With all the paper mill activity, the expression "Aroma of Tacoma" has managed to stick.

These two folks from Bogalusa are comparing pot-bellies...a common pasttime in those parts...evidentally...


Bogalusa high school gun club...not kidding...are they protecting themselves from the smell?



Evidentally poor Bogalusa stunk way back when......wonder what the cancer rate was with refineries belching right in the neighborhood?
Prob just as high as the south chicago area I grew up in, with mills
belching smoke right down the street......
