Parents gripe about smell of "skunk" at cheer gym next to smoke shop in Perryopolis

The owner of a gym in Perryopolis says the smell from a neighboring smoke shop has made its way into the place where kids learn about gymnastics and cheer.

He describes the smell inside the cheer gym as that of "cigarettes, vape or marijuana." On Wednesday, a KDKA crew went to the gym and could smell something inside it that smelled similar to the inside of the smoke shop, but not marijuana specifically.
