Grove St. Odor

I recently moved from Gorham St. to Winsow Ave., and in doing so have walked a little more frequently on Grove St.

Has the stench - and I think it's coming from McKinnon's, but could be wrong - from the dumpster behind McKinnons through Cristo's always been there?  I mean, it can really knock you over.  I love McKinnon's, but am getting a little ascared of buying stuff from them, although I'm also assuming that the smell is more from refuse in their dumpster than anything they're selling.  

Maybe I just never noticed it before?  I would think there would have been a complaint...

Yeah, I seem to recall it being there, to varying degrees, since I moved tp the general Boston area and started visiting Davis in 2001. I also noticed that it was particularly noxious recently. I bet the dumpsters have never been hosed down and cleaned, so it is an acumulation. I am glad someone called and the health dept can take a look at it. Hopefully there is something that can be done to solve it and prevent it from coming back.
