I can't smell it. Might be due to me living here and just used to it or maybe they changed their processes and don't emit that smell anymore but doesn't stink to me

The paper mill is in West Monroe, not Monroe. So you only smell it with a west wind. But it's not like you can root for an east wind. With an east wind you get your olfactory system pummeled by the gigantic landfill they parked right on the
Interstate. And a south wind wafts in all the unpleasantries of South Monroe. But man, on a cold blue bird day with a strong North wind Monroe smells A-ok.

Monroe has a hard rock station-I don’t get it.

I worked on a project in Monroe about 12 years ago and I came away from it thinking, "man this has to be the worst city in Louisiana". My next project was in Alexandria and my opinion changed
