What Does Your Town Smell Like.

Well the town I currently live in smells like the canal that runs through it. The town is built on a hillside with lots of rock outcroppings so there is a really nice earthy smell as well. All in all I find it enjoyable. The town I grew up in was surrounded by dairy farms. Sooooooo. well im sure you can guess what it smelled like. Strange thing is from time to time I miss the smell of dairy air.

we have a paper plant nearby and went they 'flush' the tanks you can smell boiled cabbage for a couple hours not the worlds best X-) but when its not doing that it smells of the river, and mountains. much much better 8-)

Everywhere I have lived has had paper mills. When it's cloudy and no wind the town reeks. It's like sticking 100 guys with really nasty smelling gas in a tiny room. Then there is always the ocassional clorine leaks they have every now and then.

Yes! For a while I lived in Sayville, LI. They have a candle factory there (well, they use wax pellets and pressure them into candle molds - not the best candles, really)and they used several different scents to perfume their candles. On any given day you might smell blueberry, bayberry, cinnamon, or lemon-lime. It was kind of funny! It took me a year to find out where the factory was. Turns out it was nestled in amidst a very long property that once belonged to Nicola Tesla. (Yes, the great electricity giant.) That property was once lovely, containing a tower, electricity house, and paths for exercise that included exercise equipment built by the German scientists that worked with Tesla. In the same neighborhood an Italian Sauce manufacturer moved in across the street, so then I had alternating smells - Italian Tomato Sauce, Bayberry, Italian Sauce, Blueberry, and sometimes we got an Ocean breeze mixed in there, too. Loony! I once took a trip to Long Island City to a place called Onderdonk House. It's a little cottage nestled in-between two factories! (It's a historical landmark.) The moment I got out of the car, I smelled...grape! Big, juicy, nasty strong Sour grape, like the stuff they put into Now N' Laters, or Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum. Turns out - it was a candy manufacturer. On other days they had cherry and taffy flavors emanating...very comedic. It used to make my mouth water!

Well my area doesn't have noteworthy smells to it--but I had to respond since you mentioned about Hershey....OMG--when I was younger my mom and I took a trip to there...even before we got to the Hershey factory...you could smell that chocolate for miles around...heavenly--I just bet the workers aren't too thrilled there though..must be so fed up with chocolate that I bet they never eat it--LOL

We don't have anything distinctive like a product that the town produces, beyond an excess of hairdressers. Luckily we don't stink of hairspray! Instead, we have the sea. What the town smells like can depend on the tide. With a low tide the harbour can smell sludgy. If the tide is in, it can smell fishy as the trawlers bring in (hopefully!) their quota. we love to go down fishing for mackarel and watching the fishermen toss in the chum to the seals. At a high tide, when the wind is up, the town smells like salt and sand and dunes. It cleans out all the cobwebs and you know you are at the sea, between the salty tang, the spray, and the sand in your eyes!

Sadly my town smells like raw sewage. There is a river that flows around my town. Many of the homes in this rural area do not yet have sewer and they 'straight pipe' the sewage from their homes right to the river. On hot days it is especially bad. The town counsel recently spent millions on building a civic center rather than get sewage pipes to these homes! Needless to say folks were angry! I grew up in a town that had a paper mill. It was really stinky too! The gas that was emitted from that plant smelled just like sulphur! I would love to live near Hershey or somewhere for a while and get away from this stinky town!

Right now for some reason it smells like fertilizer, which is weird since there are no farms around. I'm thinking the sewer is backed up lol. In the town I grew up in, it smelled like wood chips, it was a big lumber town and had a lot of lumber mills.

My town, if anything, smells like fish, but only if you are near the docks really! Also, if you are in our neighbouring town (though we sort of class the two towns togehter as they are right next to each other and merge into one)you might smell seawed from the sea! when i love in york you could either smell a sort of burnt hot chocolately smell from the chocolate factory, which actually wasn't tha nice, or the smell of sugarbeat, fromm the sweetie factory.

my town i cant say but the place where i klive smells great as there is a choclate and biscuit factory i cannot think of a place better smelling than this one.'

becaude develop of industry my tone have some other, so i dont't like smell my town
