Yup - I went to Temple University and the whole sidewalk from the train station to campus was lined with these. The leaves are beautiful but the berries are just horrendous. We called them shitberries. It was really hard to avoid them and sometimes you'd step on one, and end up apologizing the rest of the day because that stench sticks around.

I think they got rid of those trees. The students now don't know what they're missing out on!
