I have allergies so mold is a big one.....and when you live in Florida mold spores are EVERYWHERE. I go by lowlying area that when it rains....which it has been doing ALOT this week.....water stands, and I can smell the mold and decomp.
Now last Sunday we were out on the motocycle and went by a septic truck cleaning facility...it was rank at 7:30am, I would hate to be near it in the heat of the day/
A rendering plant... hands down... far and away... worst smell ever. My parents home is in the vicinity of one and I smelled it one time, almost got sick. Then you get the mental image of "rendering" to go along with the smell. Mercy!
Leaves burning...and I love that smell! luckily, i live in a tucked away area by chicago that is like an oasis from all of the hustle and bustle. it truly is a hidden gem and shall remain nameless.
There's a neighborhood I drive through on my way back from work (thankfully miles away in another city) that was built on a landfill. On the right (wrong?) days...oh, god!
I actually don't smell much in Chicago. Sometimes you get a random whiff of a sewer or food from a restaurant that's rancid.
I actually love the chocolate factory on the west side. Again this afternoon the whole Loop area smelled like dark chocolate. Last Thursday morning the wind was blowing in again and I smelled it for the first time in months.
Believe it or not I used to live in Battle Creek, MI and anyplace around Kelloggs when they are making Frosted Flakes is so sickening sweet smelling it makes your stomach turn. Picture the smell of boiling sugar so thick in the air you can literally taste the sweetness. Makes me queasy thinking about it even now. It was YEARS before I could eat Frosted Flakes after I moved away. I have lived close to Cattle farms, Pig farms, paper mills (worked in one for a while in fact), as well as a meat processing plant. I'll take any of those over a cereal plant any day of the week.
Where I am right now there really isn't any smells that are bad. Surrounded by apple, peach, cherry and apricot orchards as well as strawberry fields, a mint field and fresh water lakes and woods, there really isn't anything to give off a stench.
