What the hell is going on, Agricola Street? Who is peeing enough to make an entire city block reek? (You know the urine-soaked one I’m talking about, you’ve probably held you breath for its length, too.) Why has this been a problem for like two years? How much piss does it take to make such a smell? Who has a hose I can borrow? —Can a girl breathe?

Next year’s novelty map from The Coast – A Guide to the Stank Zones of H^lif^x. Perfect project for some bright-eyed J-school grad who wants to shake up the world.
Yes Virginia, girls CAN breathe. While mostly unfamiliar with their anatomy -specifically vaginas – I can assure you they have mouths, noses, lungs and if alive, can indeed breathe.
Oh my stars, what a dreadful graphic! If someone is urinating on a city block, why put up a ‘number 2’ graphic? It doesn’t make a lick of sense.
So someone can’t tell the difference between piss and cooking hops and barley?
OB, there’s been a bitch a week for the past six months about the smell of urine permeating the city. It’s happening all over. It’s most likely a problem with the sewer system of the city. Talk to your councillor.

I just made the connection that maybe the self described Long Ballz (“Adventures in modern dating” posted on Mon, Oct 5, 2015) also has an oversized bladder and may be responsible!? If you catch him this is what you need to do: Get right up in his ass! You hear me! Get.. right ..up.. in… his.. ass! I’ll let Leon give you some more details on the process (WARNING: contains the F word):

This may be complete here-say, but I know the block you are talking about, and while conversing with a fellow Agricola-dwelling passer-by after both encountering it one day, learned from this person that there is an elderly resident on that block who uses a chamberpot and empties it out their window each morning.
I have no proof to support this, but it would make sense. I know the exact 10-20 metre stretch of the road you’re describing, and it never fails to stink like dehydrated piss.
Could it be the lack of rain this summer coupled with dog pee? Since the big rainstorm last week the city definitely smells better.
It’s the Oland Brewery making beer, it’s not piss.
