That Fred Meyer Smell

So I have been in Fred Meyer on Hawthorne lately, and it is rather cool that they’ve put so much work into remodeling it, and I love that it’s so green. That’s just great. However, every time I pass it, I’m completely amazed at the smell.

It’s not necessarily good or bad, I guess, but it’s very distinctive. It’s like walking by a bar, you really know that stale-beer smell. Well I’m not sure what’s making that smell at Fred Meyer. But something is.

Something LEED-certified, apparently.
