What familiar smells do you miss from a former hometown that you'll probably never smell again?

For me, it’s fresh cow manure used as fertilizer. Gross, I know. I lived most of my life in an area full of Amish-owned farmland. The fertilizer they use has a very distinct odor, not something to be enjoyed but it becomes a familiar smell associated with Fall and Spring. I was thinking about it yesterday and realized I will probably never associate the seasonal fragrance as part of my current hometown experience. City life has its own set of familiar smells, and someday I’ll realize a consistent pattern of fragrances associated with seasons.
What fragrant associations do you remember from a former hometown?
