When I drive down Spring Loop it always smells horrible - like a sewer. Anyone else notice?

It's probably the wastewater treatment plant that's right off of it.
You didn't wonder why everyone calls it Poop Loop?
I still wonder how red lobster stays open there...
It's Spring Poop.
They are servicing it now and supposed to be putting lids on the tanks. Hopefully that helps with the stink? I imagine it's a welcomed change for all the restaurants and people living down wind. Hopefully it works!!
I shudder and laugh every time I see people fishing in the creek on the east side of 6 N of University!! I imagine people reeling in fish with bits of TP on them!

I never knew there was a wastewater treatment plant back there but yep that's exactly what I'm smelling. Thanks MyBCS!!
MyBCS....I forgot about that domain.

Ahem. It's POOP LOOP.
It's been Spring Poop since before I moved here the first time
I've never understood how University ended up being restaurant row with that stench over there. The idea of sitting outside at any restaurant on University near that intersection is revolting.
I've never smelled anything from any of those restaurants. I drive Spring Loop every day and you don't smell anything unless the weather is just right to create an inversion.meezermom said:

Keeps people from lingering around after they are done eating. Pretty smart marketing if you ask me.

I always knew it as Poop Loop too.
It's been Poop Loop as long as I can remember.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I've been here my whole life (34 years) and it has always been either poop loop or dookie loop.
And my ex was born in Bryan 45 years ago and lived there until he was an adult. He's the one who taught me Spring Poop.
That wastewater treatment plant has been there LONG before any development in that area.

I've been here 43 years and it's always been "Spring Loop that smells like s&@t" since I've known it
It always smelled like saving money to me.
Those fourplexes were $500 a month for a 2 bed 2 bath when I was a grad student. Cheapest living I ever did.

Same is true for Emerald Forrest and to some extent the Raintree sub divisions. When they started building houses there my wife asked, "Why would they build houses next to or down wind of the Carter Creek "turd grinder". I thought maybe the developer was able to purchase the land "on the cheap" because it was next to a sewage plant. FYI my friends who live there say they only smell the plant on rare occasions.meezermom said:

It's a chain restaurant. A chain! How could anyone tell the difference?histag10 said:

It's been stinking big time the last couple of days.
Hopefully all of the improvements they claim to be doing will help, but somehow I doubt it.
20 years from now, the class of 2043 will be talking about the stink.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Yeah they've done a pretty good job of smell mitigation over the years. As for subdivisions, don't forget Pebble Creek is near the old city dump.doubledog said:Same is true for Emerald Forrest and to some extent the Raintree sub divisions.
