MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. -- A smelly mess has been brewing in one northwest suburb and residents have been complaining about what they called an awful smell circulating in their air and seeping into their homes. Thursday was a good day because the winds weren't fierce, but on a windy day, they close their windows and their walks are cut short.'Prestige smells like pig vomit,' said Mark Johnson, a Mount Prospect resident.
'That's my time in the morning to get out and enjoy the nature,' said Clint Hervert, a Mount Prospect resident. 'So I open the door out for the walk in the early morning. It just hits you right out the door.'Neighbors said the smell has gotten so bad that it's affecting students.'They complain about the odor,' Johnson said. 'They're holding their noses. They're pulling their shirts up over their faces. It's just disgusting.
