we live in providence, so it could be anything really. we're in a mostly residential area.

i'm not sold on the smell originating from the east palestine derailment due to timing and a few articles i've read, but when i saw your comment, i figured why not call it in and let the professionals check it out! it was enough to startle both of us when we went outside.

my partner gave them a ring and reported what we've been experiencing! outside of our house smells like a pool and it didn't before it rained.
