Showing Original Post only (View all)The Main Republican Convention Stage Apparently Smells Like Rotten Bananas and Mildew [View all]
http://gawker.com/the-main-republican-convention-stage-apparently-smells-1783862251
There is a foul odor emanating from the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, and folksit isnt the party platform. This morning, just before the start of the convention, a police officer conversed with a dispatcher about the distinct smell of rotten bananas and mildew wafting out of the arenas banjo-shaped stage. That back-and-forth, broadcast via police scanner, is captured above.
All New York-based reporters forced to suffer the indignity of this gut-wrenching stench are recommended to return to the city, where the mountains of trash bags fermenting in 90-degree heat have given our streets the pleasing smell of a homely candle shop.

Like most trade shows, the set up crew is union, and Trump doesn't care for unions. So.......

On a day with many funny stories from this train wreck of a convention, this story is my favorite.
