What's that smell?

In the Summer, when it rains at night and then warms up during the next day, all of downtown ATL smells like urine. During my lunchtime walk to get a sandwich, it seemed that every alcove, every door stoop, every small interstitial space on a building's facade, emanated the dank, foul odor of urine. There must be some kind of pungency rating for cities where you can estimate the number of homeless people by the strength of the urine smell. How's that for atmosphere?
