Lived there long enough I got used to it. It still sucked. Probably didn't help that your ex's family house was only a few 100 yards from a chicken farm.

New Braunfels

Fresh bluebonnets, jasmine and a subtle hint of chlorine from Schlitterbahn.

I thought everyone associated Prague with the smells of cigarettes, booze, and sweat.

Istanbul - fish and kebabs.

Marrakech - orange blossoms and spices. (Unless you're in the wrong part of the medina - then it just smells like ****).

Fair enough.

But people driving past Gonzales in their new plastic-heavy cars with their non-GMO organic soy latte should think twice about *****ing about the production of hydrocarbons and the widespread use of organic fertilizer.

Pinwell (outside of Odessa). Skunk and acrid funk.

Agree totally with the comments about Greeley, CO. Was there a couple of weeks ago and the odor from the feed lot was rather pronounced.

About 16 years ago I was on an American Airlines jet that was on it's final approach into Mexico City. I hated those 12 or so hours I was there. Putrid!

Albany, Oregon...the smell of wood pulp processing is disgusting.

And finally, I remember as a kid we'd drive to LaGuardia or JFK to pick up my Dad, or my oldest sister (who was a stewardess). The odor when the tide was out was pretty nasty.

I actually noticed it more when I was in town. Her dad ran some cattle which simply smells like home to me since my family raised cattle & horses.

Because Tyson and Buddy's had some facilities right in the middle of town next to the big tiger tote.

Windthorst - Dairy cows. Nothing more to be said.

If you have been through there, you know what I mean. The smell would wake you from a deep sleep

Kyle Field. Not a city, but if you stood me out in front blindfolded, I'd know it by the smell of bat guano.

Nelson Co. Kentucky (Bardstown specifically) - bourbon mold

Mumbai doesn't have a distinctive smell. It has a multitude of very strong smells. Some wonderful. Most not.

It's a roller coaster for your nose.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks Gonzales smelt like ****. Lubbock does too.
Gonzales is real bad coming in from the south on 183.

And Luling, of course. Everyone knows the Luling smell. But at least when you smell it you know you're close to City Market.

Great town. Couple of tips: arrange car service from airport to your hotel.

Once you're around town for a day or two the scammers will stop bothering you because they know you're not stupid.

Unlike the Istanbul bazaar which is filled with Chinese junk, the Marrakesh souks are filled with goods made in and around Marrakesh.

There is a special artisan souk where the goods are of higher quality, made by artisan level craftsmen, and will quote you prices about 5% over final haggling price in the regular souk. Haggling there is frowned upon because they are actually quoting an accurate price (perhaps with a slight markup). It's called the Ensemble Artisanal Marrakesh.

Stay in a traditional Riad. We had 5 star accommodations with breakfast included for dirt cheap. Lots of Europeans go to Marrakesh to stay at big resorts. They're nice, but not in the city.

The cobra guys are the only unpleasant people in town. Because they were so pushy and unpleasant, I made it a point to try to capture good quality photos of their animals without paying them a cent.

Thanks for the tips! Im actually going all over the country (Fez, Rabat, Tangier, Casablanca, Meknes, Agadir,Ouarzazate, Essaouira, ifrane, and Dahkla). The trip is being set up by an NGO and backed by the government so I dont think I will have too much trouble
