    No one lumps the Shore in with North Jersey. Ever.

    What does Massachusetts smell like? Varies with the seasons. In the fall it smells like dead leaves. In the spring it smells like mud. In the summer, it smells like the asphalt and tar of a billion highway repair projects. In winter, our longest season, it smells like wet wool, especially wet socks.

    Do they still manufacture Indian Motorcycles out there?

    Kansas reaks of cow shit from all the feedyards in the morning.
    You couldn't swing a dead animal without hitting a feedyard out here.
    I've been here all my life, so I don't even notice it. But if you get a newbie out here, the morning after a good rain.......Ye Gods. The reactions are priceless.

    I would've guessed like some low-quality douche product.

    For Father's Day, wife and I drove down I-5 to SoCal and passed by Harris Ranch. The sun was setting but it was still around 90 degrees outside. The steaming piles of cow shit and mud got so thick there was a literal fog on the freeway that reduced visibility by at least half. I almost thought there was a fire near by but I couldn't see anything burning.

    Yep. Harris Ranch is definitely a windows up, AC pumping section of the I-5.

    Wiki says Indian went bankrupt and shut down in '03. Garlic still thriving.

    The town in Kansas where I grew up is the exception. There it's the smell of the big oil refinery in town.

    Where I live now, the prevailing odor is pine resin, mostly from logging operations. Well, except for the occasions when my home city's multi-million dollar (and counting) sewage SNAFU wafts through the central areas of town.
