Pocatello does, in fact, stink. The presence of Simplot and FMC factories south of the city guarantees a constant low-hanging smog layer. The city also stinks figuratively. Despite the presence of ISU, the city's culture is desperately lacking. &One of the world's first nuclear reactors (and still a large employer) is less than an hour away, but Pocatello is still a constant 5 years behind, technologically. All of my ex-girlfriends live here, which is bad, because I do too.
