Concur. I was driving x-country many years back. Stopped at a Gas station/restaurant just off I-70 in Terre Haute. Got out of the car and was hit by a pungent odor that smelled like a 2 day old garbage can in back of a Seafood restaurant in August..........
Went inside and the Restaurant had a ton of those "Shell No pest Strips" hanging from the ceiling. The waitress brought me my sandwich and when she set it down it was immediately attacked by a squadron of Flys! I promptly got back in the car and dined in ST Louis a couple of hours later.

Terre Haute is French and I believe the it translates to "High Land".
Swamp land is a more like it!
