There is nothing quite like stepping outside in the fall, taking a deep breath of fresh air ... and catching a snoutful of skunk scent.
No doubt, the pungent aroma can be found in practically any location anywhere. After all, skunks are mobile, you know.
However, our attention has been most forcibly drawn to the presence of skunk scent outside public places and in public parking lots in and around Charleston.
The city reeks of the musty, funky odor.
