Citizen complaint of the day: What died on the Greenway?

By adamg on Thu, 11/24/2011 - 10:48am

An alert citizen holds his or her nose with one hand and types with the other near the old turnpike-authority building in the North End:

2 days going now, walkway across greenway smells like something died in there .. Real bad stench

The city replies:

It has been confirmed that there is nothing decaying in the area. The odor is from the organic holly-tone fertilizer recently spread and will dissipate in the next few days.

Are we sure the stench isn't from Occupy Boston?

Ironic

That the stench is on the other end of the Greenway and not at Occupy Boston. All anyone can smell around South Station now is popcorn butter from that freaking popcorn stand.

Ah, for the good old days

Ah, for the good old days before the automobile, when the streets ran with horse urine. It's natural!

Good Old Days?

Just don't step in any puddles around PO ... or is that PU Square.
