Something is rotten in Nesquehoning and residents want to know what it is.

Over the last two weeks, residents have noticed a strong smell, described by many as equivalent to cat urine or ammonia, engulfing the town in the evening hours.Jenn Hoffman of Nesquehoning told the Times News that she has noticed it on a number of occasions."At times it’s very strong," she said. "It has been a known odor all over Nesquehoning, including Hauto."I did call the non emergency number for the Comm. Center and an officer came out and he was here walking around outside all over to try and figure this out but at that time he had no idea."She said that last night was particularly bad."I’m hoping we get answers very soon," Hoffman said. "We would like answers."Facebook has been ablaze with residents talking about the smell, speculating what the source is and wishing someone would provide an answer, but to date, officials are still stumped as to what is causing the odor.
