I grew up in Sioux City in the 80s and you could smell a little, but even then the stockyards were significantly scaled back from their 1924 peak. I was there a few months ago and there is no smell any more.
- greedo 13y agoI make that drive at least six times a year. Still stinks to high heaven. It's about the only thing that makes my kids look up from their iPads. With the stockyards closed, perhaps it's a longterm residual smell, or processing plants that are still around? On a side note, I wonder how many head of cattle were slaughtered there over time.
