1. Chicago Botanic Garden 1000 Lake Cook Rd., Glencoe Freshly laid mulch = pungent, slightly sour scents with faint overtones of manure. 2. O'Hare International (a) and Midway (b) Airports Jet exhaust fumes a-go-go, like brushing your teeth with discarded oil. 3. Hillside Landfill 4100 Frontage Rd., Interstate Highway 290 in Hillside Closed this year, but the rotting- garbage smells will linger until they cap it. 4. Turano Baking Co. 6501 W. Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn Bread baking, mmmmm. 5. Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago 6601 Pershing Rd., Stickney Pits, the size of football fields, full of sewage. 'Nuff said. 6.
