Editor:
Regarding the letter to the editor on Sept. 4 titled "What's that smell?" It must be the toxic fumes from the endless chain of huge earth-movers, grinding cement trucks, etc., on every artery in that area.
Or perhaps it's the unhealthy grease fumes of GMO and hormone-injected foods from the franchises there. Maybe it's the smell of fear that the mom-and-pop sandwich shop might be feeling that perhaps they will be rubbed out of business by the new chain sandwich shop Subway just one door down.
Chainsaws slaughtering healthy trees in front of City Hall give off noxious odors. But truly it must be the toxic odor of greed spewing out of City Hall.
