Smell a gas leak? It's still New Jersey

As yesterday's news initially focused on Greenwich village as the site of the awful smell that was rampant across the city, the jokes were flying about New Jersey. Before you say it, I know, most of Jersey doesn't smell that way and yada yada yada.

Well today the NY Daily News reported that the smell actually did come from New Jersey. Officials determined that the stench originated across the Hudson in Secaucus, NJ.

While the exact source and cause of the odor is still not clear, Charles Sturcken of the city Department of Environmental Protection said the agency was "pretty sure it came from New Jersey."

Specifically, the heavily industrialized Hudson County waterfront with its chemical plants and port terminals as well as the Secaucus area, Sturcken said. Seven people in the Garden State were briefly hospitalized as a result of exposure to the stench.

So it didn't come from New Brunswick or Morristown, but it ain't NYC.
