Continuing with those great oral histories from Kisselhoff's book (some require editing for the censors)-Sam mentioned some of the funky smells of old LES. Here's a segment that's very fragrant.

You can see one here on Montgomery, between Cherry and Monroe. The LaGuardia projects now occupy this area.
