Last summer, they closed most of Central London down for the day so a bike race could take place.  I took the opportunity to walk from Westminster to Barnes Bridge and it was noticeable how different the air was.

Downtown Dallas once iced over bad enough for even the people who thought they could drive on ice to stay home.  I'd been there long enough at that point that clean air smelled a bit strange to me that day.

Back in 1973, when I married my first wife, we went to Europe for our honeymoon. We flew Air Icelandic, which was the airline of choice in those days for students traveling to Europe on a budget. The plane made a "refueling" stop in Reykjavik, which I firmly believe is really an excuse to bring tourists to shop in their duty-free shop. In those days, Reykjavik didn't have jetways -- we disembarked down portable stairs, outdoors, and walked across the tarmac to the terminal. Our flight originated at JFK and most of the passengers were Noo Yawkahs. As we were walking to the terminal, a lot of the passengers were sniffing the air and asking what that funny smell was.

My bride and I agreed that we didn't smell anything strange. We finally figured out that what all those Noo Yawkahs were smelling was clean air -- probably the first time in their lives they had ever smelled such a thing.

When I was a kid ('60s), city air always had a burned smell to it.
