Something’s Rotten In The City of Berkeley

A small odor hardly noticable on Friday along sections of Piedmont Avenue has turned into a sharp odor that will have students from Central California reminiscing over their last vists home. Last week, there were workers tearing up the street, and there is a possibility that a line was ruptured. Go city workers!

Anyone living on Piedmont from Dwight to Durant, or in the surrounding area, should brace themselves when going to class in the next couple of days.

  2. Manhattan’s pervasive waffle smell sounds better. They should scent the fraternity sewer lines this way: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/local/story/360536p-307215c.html

  5. It smelled fine early this morning - it might have just been something in the trash that got taken out. By the way, the smell really seemed to be originating from outside your frat, Ben. It definitely smelled worst on the corner of Haste and Piedmont.

  6. The epicenter, as far as I can tell, is just north of Piedmont & Haste. The smell was still pretty bad last night from around Channing Circle towards Dwight.
