LOL - I did one of my best short stories in creative writing classes on throwing up in a tire store!
I hate driving through Gary, IN in the summer (and I hope I didn't offend anyone), or any other steel city. Blech, the sulfur!

Yah- it almost smells as bad as Oklahoma City.
Smelliest city in Iowa: Cedar Rapids. Quaker pollution smells like Alpo.

The subway smells like urine. The streets smell like garbage when it gets hot.

I think Clinton is giving Cedar Rapids a run for it's money.

worst smelling department store I've been in would have to be the K-Mart in Webster City, Iowa. I stopped in to use the bathroom and get a bottle of pop will I was driving and thought I was going to die in there.

Pulp mills are AWFUL.
Dairy farm are gross, but the worst is pig farms. Nothing is worse than that.
There is some factory in The Dalles, and I think it is mothballs or something. When an oinion truck from Walla Walla turns over on the highway that isn't too pleasant either.

Kaukauna, WI
decent enough small town, but stinks.
We went into a Jewel/Osco the other day to buy approximately 1 million 12 packs of soda since they were on sale, and I had to leave and go outside. It smelled like mold. I don't think I'm ever going into a Jewel/Osco again.

Driving from NYC to Virginia Beach we passed a pig farm. You are correct. It was the worst smell ever. Even worse than the subway or the streets with garbage or Flushing Bay or Newtown Creek on a broiling hot day, and those places stink! I blocked it out of my memory because it stunk so bad for miles. It wasn't just a bad stink for a few seconds. It lasted for about half an hour. Ewwww!

We have a bunch of Jewel/Oscos around here and they all smell fine...at least the ones I go to.
I can't believe no one has mentioned sewage treatment plants! There's a huge one right off the Stevenson (I-55) as you go into Chicago, right around Hodgkins. Even if you have the windows rolled up you can still smell it...you have to breathe through your mouth when you pass by. ICK.
