Oh and speaking of smells...

For the first year and change, we were in town in a rental house close
to a lovely creosote plant. Mmmm....

One of the regular occurrences of my childhood summers was the annual
trip to my father's side of the family in northeast Georgia - and in
those pre-Interstate days, either coming or going we'd have to pass
through Bogalusa, and we could smell the paper mill for miles downwind. 
That's one reason I'm still thankful that I-59 and I-12 are complete,
these days...

Interstates don't necessarily prevent such lovely experiences. Try getting
through Amarillo sometime...

I'll see that and raise you I-70 through Kansas City west of
downtown...with a south wind.

If it's worse than getting through Amarillo, I'll pass.

Good question...KC in 1991 was no bouquet of roses.
