I wonder if there has been any investigation into the horrible smell that blankets the west Eugene Barger area all the way up to the North Beacon end of River Road. It has been described as a harsh chemical smell or some type of industrial product being vented from JH Baxter on Roosevelt (rumored to vent chemicals when it rains).
To me, it smells most similar to propane. To my mother, it smells like the coast. All I know is it is awful and drove me to decide against buying a home here. Others say the same thing on Facebook.
Can anyone figure out what it is?

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
