I was born in Bayonne NJ and as a child lived across the street from what was then the third largest oil refinery in the world, a large naval supply port, and the town dump. Things changed and the economic benefits of those places went away. I'm sure some days people would be willing to put up with those smells. BTW George RR Martin grew up in tne same neighborhood and it shows in Game of Thrones.

Reminds me of former dwelling place Lancaster County, Pennsylvania whose penchant for olfactory offense is positively luminous, mostly because dairy cows number just under 1,000,000 not to mention chickens, pigs and turkeys. We had a name for it...Dairy Aire.
