You are smelling Frito-Lay, think about that with your next bag of chips.

There is a wastewater treatment plant a couple miles away in Pineville. Perhaps with the right prevailing wind...

I don't know but it reminds me of this song.

Is there something different about water treatment plants in charlotte. I've never lived in a city where it was so apparent (ie smelly) in some many locations within the city so either our processing was different or maybe we had less locations and I just so happened not to live, work or drive by, not sure, just curious.

it smells like burning metal and i think it is coming from a factory type place near TJ Maxx

Hey, at least none of this smells like driving through New Jersey....

Definitely sewage. It is really bad around Pineville and near Waxhaw.

I don't smell it daily but I have caught a whiff of sewage around South Tryon in Steele Creek area.
