At OLCC

Wow! Thanks for that link.

I had forgotten that I had said anything about it when we were there last Christmas--as has everyone else, I guess, since so many are expressing shock and awe about Holly's revelation. Sorta as a tradition, things pertaining to OLCC posted by JLB are immediately discredited.

Kinda hard to do that this time since another rank (poor choice of words, as that pertains more to the odor ) outsider made the same observation, if you can observe a smell.

As I reported last year, and repeated recently OY, the stink is from the Reedy Creek Wastewater Treatment plant. I've tried to find the exact location of it, but RCID seems to be keeping it a secret. Anyway, it's somewhere over there, to the east of the East Village.

When I have time I will google map a satellite view and see if I can find a cluster of treatment circles.

When we were there, everyone outside in the East Village had their faces covered as they scurried between their cars and their units. The OLCC engineer that I talked to about it, when he was parked in front of our building, took it very nonchalantly, saying it is something OLCC has dealt with from the git-go.

I'm not sure how I missed it for 20 years, either. I guess on all those tours we've taken and all the times we've stayed there before the wind has always been from the west.

I will say this....everyone at OLCC was very, very helpful and nice. I even had a mistake on my bill and the person I spoke with yesterday took care of it immediately and was just lovely. She told me how sorry she was that the wind was out of the North almost the whole time I was there...she said that Thanksgiving week this year was the worst it's been in awhile.

There is a new review of OLCC in the TUG review section. No name, and the person said that they spent THANKSGIVING WEEK IN THE EAST VILLAGE and everything was WONDERFUL. No mention of a smell. I'm wondering who wrote that review. If you are reading this, PM me!

Found 'em

Here, you find ‘em. We’re looking for circular water treatment plants. I suspect they look like Russian missle silos in Cuba.

This is Disney just east of OLCC East Village. You can drag the picture around and see the East Village to the left. To the right about a wedge away from one of the holes on OLCC Legends course, you can see rows of plants on the Disney horticulture farm. All of that is irrigated with water from the RCID plant. Keep dragging and you will find a complex (in the event that you didn’t already have some sort of complex) at the end of the
suspiciously-name Recycle Way, just above the new Western road into Disney.

Ah, here it is, here’s the culprit, not too much further east, the circles. Let me zoom it out so y’all can find OLCC East Village easier. It’s over to the west (left) not too far.

(Oops, link not working. Bear with me while I try to figure it out.)

Let's try this one:

(Nope)

I'll keep playing with the link, but in the meantime, do this.

Go to google maps:

Google Maps

Search for:

Recycle Way, Orlando, Orange, FL, 32830, United States

Close out the address overlay and click on Satellite.

If that works, you can see it is the water treatment plant. It is on the right in that complex. You may have to zoom in. Then, zoom out and you can see how close OLCC East Village is, over to the left/west.

Ole PC does not like all this google-mapping and trying to link, so if someone with something newer can post that link, that would be nice.

Now on to eBay, to try to buy another timeshare.
