I have never smelled smog. Was it really that bad before? What did it smell like? Or are we all to young to experience those times besides milque?

Mmmmmm, I used to love that smell! I can still smell true leaded gasoline! I used to shoot some on my hands when my Dad wasn't looking and get back in the Lincoln and rub it all over my face. The essence would last until recess and beyond Fuck yeah! Those were the days, you kids wouldn't understand..... but I digress.... hmmmmm

They really like it...All positive comments...There is a few negative comments about the size of the city and public transportation from 2 or 3 forumers...But it's obvious that they are enchanted with the city...
One of them says that he's packing his bags and goes to LA...
