I hate waking up to your smell every morning and then you stink up my apt every afternoon. Even with my windows closed, you get in anyway!
Apparently you’re fantastic, but you stink up the whole neighbourhood! —You make me want to move

hmmm…. a new restaurant perhaps? Can’t be the harbor, although it can be pretty fantastic at times. It definitely was during the parade of sail last year. Ahhhh…. summer- I will miss you.
i was thinking roomate or maybe it’s the brewery?
I thought brewery, or perhaps one of the sattelite sewage stations. Do the siblings who make the tasty pepperoni still have their smokehouse close to a residential area? I know they were a target for the Perpetually Indignant Martyrs Brigade about a decade ago.
Nope. Coffee shop.
The brewery stench has been getting to me lately… I never used to notice, maybe they’re just working harder with the holiday swilling and football season upon us… ugh. Coffee shop’s got nothin’ on the brewery…
If you live in my neighbourhood, I’m sure you’re familiar with the putrid smell too.
Yup, me thinks I’m there in your neighbourhood. Such lovely smells… *yack* *gag*
Sure it’s not just the tender tootsies of the hipster who takes his sandals off when enjoying a fair trade ethiopian-javanese blend. Check out “Look at This Fucking Hipster”. You can even see the Coast plaques on the wall pillar behind him. LMFAO
I used to live directly across the street from a brewery, and yes that was nasty too, but I think this is far worse.
Brothel?
Ha ha… Colonel… they do have great coffee there though…
yeah but the guy gives you a good fuck, right? if it’s that bad, move out or tell them to fuck off.
Umm, wtf LS? If you have any idea about what I’m talking about, your reply makes absolutely no sense.
the crematorium, brewery, coffee scents all intermingled are like a punch in the face^^
what is that coffee shop doing with those beans? that shit stinks and nearly suffocates you walking on the sidewalk past it. deffinately not my scene there anways so idgaf
crematorium? oh dears… is there one of those around too?? how icky. It’s taken me time to get used to the smells, and they still make be *yack*. Though people who travel through my hometown complain when it’s manure spreading season on the marsh. I don’t notice that shit.
yeah ralmn i think it’s on king st. tho it’s not something you would advertise with flashing neon. i like the smell of horse poop
Whoa. Now I know. Essence of north end. they should bottle that shit and maybe it would help with the extermination issues in another post?
“Umm, wtf LS? If you have any idea about what I’m talking about, your reply makes absolutely no sense.”
and this is different from his usual posts how?
LS: Genius, cattle fart blow snot bubblegum lollipop
Rest of us: thanks LS for clearing that up….
They likely do as McDonalds and pump the scent out through vents so when you walk by and get a sniff your nose tells your brain you want some of whatever that is you’re smelling.
Everybody Loves Java Blend
I thought they were talking about about a dead-beat relative, at first–the type that will go through a window (she won’t mind) when the door is locked and sets up camp on your couch. Man, my sponge stunk! It wasn’t that he was dirty, it was that stale tobacco, alcohol and last night’s donair permeated from his pores and filled the whole room with nasty. Even if I could have wrestle the remote from his hands to watch TV once in awhile, there was no way I could have sat there through a whole show.
There is no way coffee could smell worse than that.
Coffee shop huh? I think I am pretty sure on this one. Never lived close enough to a coffee shop to experience the “stink” though. Didn’t even know they did. Although I guess if you really don’t like coffee….. could be a problem.
Coffee shop smell?
I say it’s a brewery or just downtown in general. I use to work at ATV and I would gag everyday when they were brewing on Almond. But lately DT has a smell of foulness…like shitty onions. yuk!
The green bins are gross lately for some reason. But ya, the coffee shop poster is commenting on actually roasts their own beans. And while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I must say the brewery in the same hood has been really disgusting lately, like nasty, yeasty overpowering grossness. That may be the culprit, it’s so strong this week for some reason.
bwn made it clear it is the coffee shop…pay attention citizens
aye aye, capitaine.
not in the bitch was it clear at all. could have been dog shit that someone left outside the window. until it is spelled out in a bitch, we have to assume anything, right ivan, et al.
you’re right…. it was only cleared up 3 hours ago….
how could you have known.
Snarky, zZz? ha ha. I did catch it the first time, just sayin’ (hate that saying..) that the brewery has definitely been adding to the stench.
I am snarky damnit…
just bloody waiting in eager anticipation for Pauly Shore tonight….
I can’t take it any more!
I just want to blink and it’s 6pm
LMAO..zZz…have fun!
The Harbour at low tide on a hot summer day !
I lived as a young man over by Dartmouth Cove in the 70’s…it was quite bad on any day at low tide…but hot August afternoons !!!!
It was baaaad, really gross.
I’ll be wheeezing the juuuu uuuuuuuice buuuuuuuuddy.
combing the do, sipping some brew.
woooo buuu uuuddy!
Wash your dent.
Gross. I dated a dude before who smelled like damp towels….it was aweful. I finally gave up after buying him Gillette body wash and he still smelled. The next was a dude who smelled like dry hay….dude wasn’t even a farmboy. WTF is wrong with these dudes? Everyone else seems to smell nice, why can’t they?
Maybe you smelled like a wet dog and they were stooping to your sub-human level so you’d like them.
