They did the same thing last year and it was horrid. I believe they're flushing the sewers.

Yes! I remember this! There was a septic tank trunk behind Menton, which I thought was odd given that I don't know of much septic in downtown Boston. The stench still sticks with me a year later (figuratively).

behind Menton, several times a week. I assume it's sucking out some kind of kitchen waste.

A week or so ago outside the Sheraton near the convention center. There were a couple trucks out front with long hoses pumping. For about 3 blocks the stench was overpowering even with your nose plugged. Everyone walking by was gagging. I was surprised by just how powerful the smell was even blocks away.

Great time of year to do this. The hotter and more humid, the more smells hang in the air.

When I was a kid, in the sixties and seventies, the Fort Point Channel always had, shall we say, a distinctive smell about it. I find it oddly endearing that this is still the case once in a while.

I hated fish as a kid because I associated fish with the smell of Fort Point.
