Anyone else hate waking up to a city stinch in the morning?

Every morning I open the door to walk my dog I am greeted to a smell of burned animal matter, plastic, tires, fuel and other horrible shit.

In the country I open up the window in the morning and it’s a pleasant scent of flora... so nice.

I think that thread is just about how awesome the country is.

Surely we can simultaneously have a thread devoted to how cities suck

And yeah, I agree OP. Only what I think is worse is the way people douse themselves in toxic plumes of perfume and cologne and walk around forcing everyone to breath in the chemicals they use to cover up their insecurities.

There are plenty of people who have the impression that the world is just cities with space between them.

I feel really bad for them, but for some people if there isn't an airport they're not going.

The fuckin' noise.

Only playing second fiddle to..

The fuckin' people.


Petrichor is the name given to the scent in the air after a rainfall on dry ground.

I don't know what they call it in the city but it smells like piss, garbage and the stinking masses of humanity.

.... when I lived in the city I'd wake up and take the dog out and find left-over needles from the night before, never mind the waterfront smell from the sloppy duck turds left in the street.

I live in suburban London UK, close-by the River Thames (in Kingston-Upon-Thames), and it is all quite leafy and green around here, with many parks and trees, hedges and herbaceous borders. I am just a mile or so from Richmond Park, and also close to Bushey Park (where King Henry the 8th used to hunt),and Hampton Court, where Henry used to live in the 1500's...Both parks are full of deer and other assorted wildlife. I see foxes and squirrels every day too. A 25 minute bus ride gets me to Kew Botanical Gardens, where you can see/smell and touch just about any species of plant or tree on the planet.

Really its about as good as you can get and also be close to a thriving and interesting city, with many theaters, museums and vast amounts of historical architecture (20 minutes to central London by train). I don't smell burning plastic or anything real nasty in the air or see much if any pollution. The air is quite sweet and very oxygenated actually.

Then of course there is the River Thames at the bottom of my road, where you can go boating or fishing, take a river cruise, ride a bike or just stroll along the tow-path.

Noise levels are generally quite low, and I hear birds singing all of the time. People actually pick up their dog mess here, and the council makes sure the garbage is picked up, where ever it is.

It beats Manila, that's for damn sure.

...better than Manila?

But I thought the queen took yer guns! How is a man supposed to hunt?
