re: Mansfield maybe the worst smelling place I’ve ever been in my life…

Hereford,TX and it’s not even close. It makes Amarillo smell like a dozen of roses.

A coworker was dating a chemE who worked at The GP plant outside of Port Hudson. I asked how they manage working in that horrid smell all day. She said the stacks were designed to be just high enough that none of that smell makes it back to ground level within the site.

Alexandria where I49 runs parallel to the rail yard. The old mothball smell was a bouquet of flowers compared to the smell now.

nothing like passing through a small north LA town with a creosote plant

mansfield has a huge Gas Plant there and a lot of the stink is h2s gas

The paper mill stench rarely, if ever, comes into the Mansfield city itself.

It’s a battle between Monroe and Bogalusa depending on wind direction and nothing else comes close.

Another vote for Amarillo. No way to hide the smell from the stockyards when the wind blows.

Amarillo smells like cow shite. Each breath while outside is like inhaling cow shite.

Drive up further north to Dalhart and it's even worse with the Cargill pig farms. The locals are fond of describing the stench as "the smell of money."

creosote
paper mills
pogie plants
feed lots
chicken processors
gas plants with h2s
poorly run sewer plants
