There's a fume smell around my train station that I finally realized smells like bleu cheese. Kind of nasty.

We had a sulfur spring fountain next to the library in my home town. Giles' whole "books should be smelly" speech really worked for me.

told me that the big silo looking building off to the west of the highway stores vinegar.
I've alternately been told water and oil (though I can't see how that would fly, given the risk.) I'm betting water, as there are those "your tax dollars at work" signs up for a city water & sewage project there.

Because books.
When we lived in a small town in Wyoming for a year, the smell of the sugar beet harvest in the fall was...gross. Kind of half sweet, with mulch and damp soil mixed in. Not pretty.

I lived in a town with a mill that roasted peanuts every morning.
Portalnd Maine often smells of baked beans due to the B&M factory, or at least it used to (I don't know if that factory is still active, and now that I think about it, I'm not even sure it's still there; must check next time through). That may not sound great, but it is loverly.
And certainly beats the everloving tar out of the way a lot of Maine towns did/do where they had/have paper mills. Bleh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's a small town near my home town that produces sauerkraut - that's not a pleasant smell.

A guy sitting right near me on the bus this morning stepped in dog shit on his way on the bus. Feh. I had a Burt's Bees chapstick in my pocket so I serruptiously smeared it all under and around my nose. It helped. A bit.

Hah! You are right about the smell, lisah. It is vinegar. [link] " Burns Phips Foods Inc. operates a vinegar plant at the end of Brand Avenue just west of the JFX,"
Aaand, the tank is natural gas. Which creeps me out. (it appears to be unused. Which is a relief.)
