What's that smell? (BatesLine)

What's that smell?

Anyone else notice this? The blooming Bradford ornamental pear trees are lovely, but the smell of the blooms is rather, um, pungent. The mildest way I can say it is it smells like old damp dog food.

I noticed that Michael. I was standing between two yesterday. I was certain something had died nearby. I was thinking of either drafting a petition to have them removed, or requesting a variance.

you should go by the TVGuide plaza at 71st & Lewis... you would think that every fish that was in the Arkansas river had died

Try living with two such trees in your backyard, like I do. Along with smelling bad, the trees aggravate my allergies.

while I'll feel bad for those who have to put up with the smell, I really do enjoy seeing them in their beauty.

One more sign that spring is almost here

There is a tree in our neighborhood that stinks, also, however, I do not see any Bradford Pear trees. The smell is like something below the waste that's not clean, if you know what I mean. Does anyone know what tree this is?
