petrochemicals was very noticable, and nearly everyone commented about
the smelly air.


I, too, lived in League City (in fact, I was a volunteer paramedic there for
over a decade), and nobody commented on it in my presence.


Really? We even had a term for it - we called it "the smell of money"
whenever the wind blew from the north. Your sense of smell must be
remarkably poor.
