The Unusual Smells of the T: Orange Line
For the past few months, Bostonist has engaged in a scientific experiment. We've been sniffing around T stops to find out which ones are the most pleasant and which ones are an offense to the olfactory nerves. Each day this week, we'll evaluate the odors you will find at various T stops.
Today marks a trip down the Orange Line. You might get the munchies on this one:
Downtown Crossing: Fried food, mouse poop, armpit, baby powder, pee
Forest Hills: Blunts, fruit flies, pigeons, pee
Ruggles: Gunpowder, Axe body spray, pee
Are we missing any distinct Orange-Line odors? Any strong enough to mask the armpit smell at Downtown Crossing? Let us know in the comments.
Tomorrow--on to the Red Line!
