What does your hometown smell like? (idea)

Bureaucracy fills the streets of downtown Ottawa like a damp cloud, tumbling from the massive many-windowed buildings, the great grey machines that line the streets. It smells like Xerox, it smells like fresh photocopies (a little bit cucumbery), but if you're in the right place at the right time, it smells like warm food and fire. This is the part of Ottawa I like.
