So, you’re telling me that the entire town of New Castle smells like grandma’s house?
According to the New Castle News, the town of New Castle, Pennsylvania is home to four McDonald’s restaurants, two AM radio stations and one beauty school.
Also, the entire town smells like cat piss.
Even crazier than waking up every morning to the scent of cat urine? You guessed it: Nobody knows why the town smells like that.
The state’s Department of Environmental Protection was notified of the smell in October 2014, and more than one year later, the only thing they have determined is that what New Castle residents are sniffing on a daily basis is coming from “a waste containing mesityl oxide or another similar compound that has reacted with a sulfur compound under specific conditions somewhere in the city’s sewer system.”
The problem is that they don’t know where that waste is coming from.
“No specific industry or waste stream could be definitively identified as the exact cause of the odor,” the DEP’s report concluded.
In the meantime, New Castle residents will be forced to live with the pungency knowing that it could be worse. I mean, it could smell like bigfoot’s dick instead, and then people would really be losing their minds.
