odd odor

We can smell the airport, too, not every day, but more often in the winter when
a good southerly wind kicks up. We're at 43rd St. E. and 20th Ave. S. The sound
protection zone ends a block or so to the south of us.
Close enough to smell the airport. Too far for noise abatement.
Maybe that could be our block's motto?

A neighbor, whose house fronts on 43rd just above Hiawatha golf course came
home and walked into her tucked-under garage to discover what she described as
an overwhelming "bizarre sweet anti-freeze kind of smell" that immediately gave
her a headache. More than a little freaked, she called Centerpoint; the tech
came by and immediately determined it wasn't gas (and said he'd never
encountered anything like it). When she mentioned it to an acquaintance who's a
contractor he said he'd heard (apocryphally) that sometimes manufacturing
companies dump waste into the storm sewers of Friday -- and her house is
positioned right above one of the big storm outlets that lead into the lake.
