NumbersGirl Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hmmm? And explain your reasons. I haven't been to either one so I want to know which one I should try harder to avoid. Thanks bunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hatter Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 New York City smells like butt. I don't know what the rest of the state smells like. We drove through basically all of the city and every single part of it smelled like rotting garbage. Mostly because there was rotting garbage everywhere. Wherever I was in New Jersey didn't smell so bad. The air was just hard to breathe. x_x But I'm just a li'l ol' West Virginian; what do I know? Our largest cities (which really don't compare to major cities in America) never smell like garbage. And also, there aren't usually random people sleeping on the street. This one guy wasn't moving and didn't really look like he was breathing, and nobody did anything about it. I mean, we didn't either, but, you know, when in Rome... I still enjoyed both the trips, though. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Going with Jersey. As soon as you get on the Garden State Thruway and get close to around Jersey City or Giants Stadium it smells bad. It's mostly because the Meadowlands are all full of marshes. And also the air is usually thick too. But I will say that NY does have a smell in some parts. Mostly the West Side Highway at a certain point (since there's a sewage treatment center in a certain area), and also near the Triboro Bridge (now the RFK Bridge)... I think that is near a marshy kind of area perhaps. But still overall I say Jersey smells worse... mainly just the northern section of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mad Hatter Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Generally, yes. I imagine you'd get used to it, though. We live near a paper mill, and we hardly notice it anymore. I guess it's the same for rotting garbage smells. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think they both equally smell like crap. But if you go to the Jersey Shore, that might smell a bit more than NYC. Yeah, just don't go to either one. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayKen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I love NJ. I was born there. but it does smell worse than NY :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 NY and NJ are pretty much the same. Some people who live in NY work in NJ and vice-versa. They both smell bad but I think NJ smells better than NY (which is not a good standard) And I don't think all big cities are smelly, Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle and Chicago are not smelly. Chicago has some dirty parts but it's not huge, it's a clean city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Both smell bad? :blank: I'll give my opinion when I go there :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, not all big cities smell. Boston, Chicago and San Francisco are my examples. :nice: San Francisco has a smell but it smells like the sea, so you don't feel like you're in a big bustling city. You feel like you're at the beach. :heart: LA is probably the smelliest, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 New York City smells like garbage. :| And where I am in NJ there isn't a lot of people so yeah. . . it could easily be in the middle of PA. And I've never been to the Jersey Shore or south Jersey or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoyed both the trips, though. lol. you never go into the total pollution of Rome. I come from, south. Sicily's is one of the dirtiest places in the world, and lot of drought. but people living of the vineyard when you know that this city is called "Cats and Dogs" my parents fled the country to emigrate to Swiss. is not the most friendly city. people are boorish and leaves people hungry cats and dogs. often died in the road is really horrible. I guess if is a God, have wicked sense of humor said the city's dogs and cats I can understand NY & NJ It's the same but on large area . but so true depends what part of the state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
