When I was a kid, I lived in Berkeley and at the time there was a Hills Brothers coffee roaster right near the end of the Bay Bridge as you entered SF from the east bay. That entire part of town smelled like burned coffee beans!

How did you miss Shreveport Louisiana? Papermills, i guess, but driving in on I-20,whooee!! San Francisco didnt use to stink-it was too cold for the olfactory sense to function😅. And I guess I don't go downtown enuf to notice any stench in Dallas-pass thru mostly, but the wind blows so many days, you'd have to sit smack still in downtown. Does anyone do that???

South Sioux City, Nebraska smells absolutely horrible especially during the summer and that's because of the Slaughterhouse.😖

15 years ago I worked in Elizabeth NJ and it was stinky.

Did you mention Staten Island, NY?

Camas Washington used to reek to high heaven because there was a paper mill nearby.

Reading, PA will smell on days when the wind is coming out of the east; mushroom growers are east of the city.

CHICAGO HAD A FOUL ODOR

It still does.

The smelliest city I have ever been to was Artesia, NM, and I traveled and lived in a lot of places.

Elizabeth, NJ immediately came to mind when I saw the title 😂

Surprised Salt Lake City with its inversion or Pittsburgh, PA with all it's steel mills didn't make the list. Pittsburgh especially, sometimes the entire city can smell like a chemical factory.

Used to live in Salt Lake City, the inversion doesn’t really smell. Rather, it is more suffocating than anything else.

What steel mills in Pittsburgh? You obviously don't live here.
