Hey, NYC DUers, what's that smell? New Jersey...no really, it is.

[originalpckelly]

That maple syrup smell you guys have been smelling out there in NYC is, as usual, New Jersey. While anyone who knows anything about the area knows that New Jersey always smells, this one was getting weird. So yeah, it's some weird chemical from a plant in NJ, and it's supposedly harmless (unlike the other smells coming from NJ.)

1. There's a factory arround exit 15 on the turnpike, sometimes smells like cotton candy

2. There is a film-screen company in the Los Angeles area

That smells like that. It was determined to be an adhesive. Yuk... breath deep the gathering gloom?

3. Y'know, I gotta say something

Two years ago, I was living in the Pacific Northwest, and I believed a lot of the jokes Jay Leno tells about NJ, but since moving out here, I know that it's a beautiful place. Many parts of western NJ are just as scenic as my NW, and the Jersey shore is as picturesque.

Now Newark, that's another matter entirely...

4. Once you get out of Linden/Elizabeth the smell is gone....n/t
