Something Rotten In Hilo???

[csgray]

There are these trees by the bus station that have super stinky flowers, they smell like a septic system back up, and the smell spreads for several blocks. A coworker who walked past these trees daily for years always wondered about this seasonal smell and finally asked someone working in the park why they didn't fix the sewage leak from the bus station. The guy pointed out the trees and said that was the source of the smell. She said it was a springtime bloom, right about now, so maybe that was the smell.

I can't imagine why someone would even think of planting such stinky trees, but someone did.
