The Gowanus Gets Nasty
Wow, this is disgusting. Check out what the Gowanus Canal was like in the wake of this month’s tornado. Warning: Not for the weak of stomach.

Brenda, “Floatable material” literally made me happy to know that people working for the city are great copywriters who might do better in the real estate or marketing field.
Oh, and it’s STILL THERE. Walk over the Union Street bridge for an inimate view and smell.
On hot days the Gowanus Canal notoriously stunk up the area for blocks around it. Residents of The Satori are in for some unpleasant olfactory experiences this summer while the city “fixes” the flushing tunnel. Likely for several summers.
Looks like Augustus Gloop’s Chocolate River! MMMMMMM….
“LMAO. As I say, I don’t know who’s paying those prices at the Satori and Third & Bond to live by the perpetual aroma of sewage and such.”
You obviously have never been down around there. There’s no sewer smell from the canal. It smells like sea water and even then you have to actually stand on one of the bridges to even smell that. If if did actually smell Park Slope would be a ghetto and obviously that’s not the case.
“Floatable material.”
I’m searching for a place to buy, and will remember this line about the CSO next time I’m entertaining this area as a possibility:
“They may contain high levels of suspended solids, toxic chemicals, floatable material and other pollutants that can cause the exceedance of NYS water quality standards and pose risks to human and aquatic health.”
Pass
denton, It is indeed raw sewage — one of the major perils of NYC’s combined sewage system.

“Let’s build Luxury Condos around this.”
LMAO. As I say, I don’t know who’s paying those prices at the Satori and Third & Bond to live by the perpetual aroma of sewage and such.
I was waiting for one of the guys doing the video to do some jackass-style on camera puking.
