The Unusual Smells of the T: Green Line

120707-t-stinky-map-green.jpg

For the past few months, Bostonist has engaged in a scientific experiment. We've been sniffing around T stops to find out which ones are the most pleasant and which ones are an offense to the olfactory nerves. Each day this week, we'll evaluate the odors you will find at various T stops.

Today, we'll breathe in the Green Line--slowly:

BU Stops (all of them): Natty Light, vodka, wet UGGS, Acqua di Gio cologne, raging hormones, pee
Kenmore: Hot dogs, sweat, aggression, pee
Park Street: Crotch, mold, crotch mold, rage, old dudes who don't wash, pee

Are your lungs full yet? Are there any stops that we are missing? The Green Line is mostly open air, but surely some of them have distinct personalities.

Tomorrow, we'll explore the odors of the Orange Line.
