Donating a sofa to charity


I have a nice sofa that I’d like to donate to charity. Any recommendations about decent charities in Brooklyn that will pick it up?

Chemical odor around the Gowanus Canal?


Around lunchtime today, there was a heavy chemical smell in the air around Union and Nevins street. I could smell it as far up as 4th Avenue. It was a sweet small, but nauseating. This is the second time this summer I’ve smelled the odor in that area. Does anyone know what it is?
