There used to be an awful mothballs smell. I can't identify the terrible chemical smell there now. Is this Alexandria's way of encouraging drivers to exit the interstate and experience the traffic circles?

The worst smell on any Interstate is the Harris stockyards in I-5 in CA near Coalinga. Nothing else is even close.

It’s creosote baw. Look to the right if you’re headed north. You’ll see the telephone poles laying on the ground.

I never noticed the smell.

But it was like instant depression in alexandria so maybe the depression covered it up.

There’s a Pogey plant around Abbeville that would give them A run for the money

I thought that was Lake Charles. Well, it was when I spent a week there with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins in 1964.

I hated that smell when I lived there. But I grew up in NELA and worked in West Monroe so I couldn't bitch too much.

There’s two of them. One in Alex and one in Pineville. Environmental messes, both of them. Worked on both sites back in the day.

Is the Pogey plant in Cameron still there?
The smell in Alexandria is a picnic compared to a Pogey plant. Even a paper mill smells better.

They must have a creosote plant somewhere around Holden or Walker. I smell it driving on I-12 a lot

Not sure about Cameron. Used to be one down around Dularge. Zappata owned it I think. I’d take a stock yard or feed lot or paper mill every time over a Pogey plant.
