When you go past the NECCO building in Boston, it used to smell like Necco wafers (I don't think they make them there any more). When you go past the Keebler factory in suburban Cincinnati, it smells like chocolate cakes.
When you go past a 3M plant, does it smell like tape? glue? new paper smell (which is awful for the record, thank you Berlin NH paper mills).

When you enter Battle Creek, MI, you can smell cereal. (the Kelloggs factory is there)
The Crystal plant smells like hot sauce. I don't drive past it on my way to work anymore, more's the pity. That used to really help me wake up in the morning.
I drive past a Bud plant every day. It's
disgusting.
My home town smelled like the Purina pet food plant. Ewww.
When you enter Bear Creek, WI, you can smell sauerkraut. (But only during and shortly after the cabbage harvest.)
You used to be able to smell cow shit all around where I grew up. But hardly any farmers in the area have cows anymore.
My office is near a chocolate factory. It smells like chocolate all time, especially during the winter. And then it smells like hot chocolate.
When you take the commuter train into Chicago you can smell chocolate from the Blum (?) chocolate factory. Or you could.. . I don't now if it's around anymore.
Pig shit is MUCh worse than cow shit.
There were many mushroom farms in the general vicinity where I grew up in Del. Not so many now. Anyway, the mushrooms are grown in sterilized manure, so...
They also attract these teeny, tiny little mushroom flies (that fly far afield of the actual mushrooms, unfortunately) that fit through the holes in window and door screens. They have a vaguely licorice smell when swatted.
