Though I assume it's the Gowanus, it didn't smell like the Gowanus usually does. I walked across the bridge a few times this weekend and the water levels were especially low and the smell was pungent but it just smelled swampy. This morning's smell was different, more like sewage then swamp water. Luckily the rain is cleaning up the air now. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/terrible-smell-lower-park-slope-gowanus-toxic#post-768694 Tue, 28 May 2013 10:02:52 +0000 OpossumQueen 768694@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I was up near 9th St. It woke me up early. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/terrible-smell-lower-park-slope-gowanus-toxic#post-768690 Tue, 28 May 2013 08:37:14 +0000 Mamacita 768690@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>&lt;Bump!&gt;<br /> Anyone else smelling that weird smell this AM? </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/terrible-smell-lower-park-slope-gowanus-toxic#post-765572 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:33:56 +0000 Grelf 765572@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Its the runoff from the snow stirring up the canal.</p> <p>Nothing new, same bad smell as usual.

I first thought it might be related to the work on the subway, but then one day as I walked past that building on 2nd and 10th that sits directly under the aqua-duct I noticed what appeared to be a bread factory. </p> <p>As an aside, smelling burning toast is often a symptom of an impending seizure...so hopefully not everyone is having seizures in Gowanus. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/terrible-smell-lower-park-slope-gowanus-toxic#post-765505 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 06:06:22 +0000 winstonsmith 765505@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Exactly.
