PU IN

Indianapolis smells bad today. There's "a stench wafting across downtown" according to the AP, with some people describing a sewer or natural gas odor. My friend in Indy said it smells "like rotten eggs," but at least one person told the Indy Star it smells like burned potatoes, which...is not like the others. So far, noses are pointing to a sewer line hookup on the east side of the city. [Indy Star, AP]

Maybe there is just a very very strong wind headed southeast. In which case, they are probably just smelling Gary.

places like indianapolis and st. louis are too far away to care about.

This is news? Doesn't Indy always stink?

terre haute (about an hour SE) seems to always smell like rotten eggs, but that's because there's a paper mill there.

I'm in Indy for a conference this week and there's definitely a foul stench wafting from the sewers. Not sure what it is, but it's not pleasant!

Every time I go to downtown Indy, I wonder how they can have restaurants with sidewalk seating with the way it smells down there.
