Back in the 80's, my buddy and I used to drive from Middlesex county to Brooklyn once or twice a week. For reasons.

On the West Shore Expressway we'd keep an eye out for the "Arthur Kill" exit sign. Once spotted we swung into action. Windows rolled up. Climate control set to recirculate. Accelerator pressed as far as prudence would allow. Still we'd endure the stench.

Apparently, the Arthur Kills dump was filled and capped in 2008. Now it's the "Freshkills Park". Which is nice. I just wish they would have done it in the 1960's.
