A Stinky Week for SW Florida



This enigmatic sign on Placida Road in Englewood befits a week full of smelly news. Who exactly is this sign aimed at? Pets can't read and what would smell different to humans?

FORT MYERS BEACH, FLORIDA - A 100,000 gallon leak of raw sewage has topped off a week of unpleasant odors here in Southwest Florida.
      First, a bloom of red tide caused dead fish to wash ashore on the beaches of Manasota Key. Now a 25-year-old sewer line has ruptured on Main Street in Fort Myers Beach near South Street. Local health officials expect to close nearby beaches to swimmers. All-in-all, a crappy week for this region.
