AP Photo AP. And, this week, a different sensation entirely. This has been a constant refrain around the site of the Masters this week. The groundskeepers have done an admirable job of keeping the place from becoming a quagmire, and on TV, viewers have no idea that even a drop of precipitation fell on the course.
But here, the signs are everywhere. Muddy patches. Sodden walkways. And, most of all, the smell. In some places, it is overwhelming.
This is due to the fact that, apparently, every God forsaken piece of land here has to be built on, leaving less trees. The heat seems to make people crazy, which is probably causing the ass-loads of crime we have. Augusta is also what some dub the "golf capital of the world" because the Masters is held here. If you have been to Augusta because of that, here's something you don't know: Master's week is the ONLY time that Augusta looks like a normal, nice place to be.
While it's the only place I have ever lived, I was raised by people who aren't from here, therefore I am a normal person who lives in a place filled with dumbfarts. As a person unlike the majority, I think that everyone who lives here falls under at least one of the following categories: 1. A whore 2. A snob 3. A person who regularly speeds 4. A person whose brain is so affected by the heat that they don't put a damn bit of thought into what they're doing 5.
Unless you absolutely have to, don't move to Augusta. I don't know how they can live there, it's so boring. A nice size city in east central Georgia, home of the masters international golf tournament, it is a city which receives heavily unneeded criticism, but could use some work.
Guy: Have you gotten tickets to the masters in Augusta, GA yet? I think it may be from a treatment plant or packing plant, not sure. Originally Posted by burgerflipper. Most people hate it! But, I'm weird, and I just love it. You can't smell it all the time, as the plant is on the outskirts of town, but in the city you smell it occasionally and even when we lived miles away in IL, we could still smell it on very windy days! Historically, in Wisconsin, you could always tell when you were approaching a paper-mill town.
But I haven't noticed that in quite a long time, so they must have found a way to deodorize the effluent.
Mecca, California, on the north end of the Salton Sea, is the smelliest place Ive been to recently. Agricultural chemicals combined with muddy lakeshore that would smell bad enough anyway, and intense heat to keep it lingering in the air.
Calipatria, at the south end, is probably just as bad, depending on which way the wind is blowing. Any town in the great plains, from the Texas Panhandle to Nebraska, if downwind from a feedlot. On the other hand, there is nothing more heavenly than a misty, foggy morning on Tchoupitoulis Street in New Orleans, when the coffee grinders are running. Last edited by jtur88; at PM.. It's worse than the paper mill even.
In the winter, you will see odor clouds and fog from ADM literally rolling over the highway. I'm really not sure what the other two smells are, but we did used to have a meatpacking district downtown so that may have been one of them.
Has to be Augusta, GA. I have lived here for years and it has smelled awful for as long as I can remember. It's a combination of paper mills, sewage, a meat processing plant, and numerous chemical comanies.
