Oh, we love us a good smell mystery. Last night, a West Hollywood apartment complex was evacuated after a strange odor was detected. First, firemen suspected some meth-making, but the culprit turned out to be paint cans in a tenant's apartment. "The paint was used in the resident's line of work, according to Sgt. Patricia Rielly, although it was not clear what that the tenant did." Yeah, we aren't so sure of what our painterly friends really do, either.
