So, after all of that, what was that smell on Thursday night? Nobody really seems to know. The Daily News asks You Can't Make It Up(speaking of, we nearly choked reading her Titty Barb Bob post), the Post called Canada (they didn't call back) and the Times wondered if the "good smell" was that of Bloomberg's sweet success. All to no avail. In the meantime authorities seem confident that the maple smell wasn't toxic and the consensus (from the papers) is that the source was either a boat on the river or a building in lower Manhattan. Which really narrows it down.
