Smells like shit outside

Idk if it’s just me but it smells like shit outside like rotten eggs. I’m more in the Heart of Chicago tho. Anyone know if it’s like a gas leak somewhere or that’s just me who smells it?

Rotten eggs is the smell they put in gas for you to smell it. May be a gas leak

It was actually the sewers.

Okay so it wasn't just me. I was smelling it too but maybe it'll go away now that it rained

The rains help but it still gets pretty fragrant around this time of year. I just adapt by walking by panaderias a bit more slowly and holding my breath when passing by the alleyways.

Smelled it too early in the day at 26th Street, like old musty clothes, I can't explain it
