What is it about Manhattan Ave between Gandy and Henderson. It always smells like poop. Is it a sewer problem? If so, why hasn't it been fixed.

Has anyone else noticed this? I recently started driving manhattan to get to and from work. I notice it both commutes for the last two months.

LOL! We were eating at EVOS on Howard the other day and I was thinking the same thing. Tampa has some weird smells IMO.

That could have been the bay at low tide, but there is also a lot of old plumbing in hyde park... so who knows. I am in that area quite often and I have never noticed it though. I'll have to keep my nostrils open and report back!

either way, nothing like smelling poop when you are enjoying a meal!

Okay, I am smelling this since moving to the area...driving down Manhattan towards Gandy you really smell it around Wellcraft Ave to the Methodist church. It is definitely sewer smelling...not really a stagnant ocean smell.

There's a pumping station right near the intersection of Henderson and Manhattan. It emits a smell once a day maybe, but you get used to it and it doesn't last long at all.

Just like living next to the train tracks... you won't even hear the mother after awhile.
