I grew up in Green Bay, a.k.a. the Toilet Paper Capital of the World. That smell was a distinct part of my childhood.

I can top that. How about the sulfurous smell from a paper mill and tide flats on Puget Sound? I grew up in Tacoma, Washington. For years everyone that ever drove through the city on I-5 or visited downtown at the right time of the day would smell it. The infamous [Aroma of Tacoma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aroma_of_Tacoma#:~:text=The%20%22Aroma%20of%20Tacoma%22%2C,the%20odor%20of%20rotten%20eggs.).
