Well, yesterday I took a trip up to Long Island to pick up some used rims and tires for my car. I think everyone should drive through New York every once in awhile. It's just different. Sure, you can drive through Philly but we all know that Philly isn't New York, nor is driving on the interstates that cut through each city. It's different architecture, skyline(s), license plates, strange billboards and my favorite from yesterday: the smell of candy.

Somewhere along the BQE, while sitting in traffic, I had my windows down and sunroof open (it was really nice out) I noticed the smell of candy. It reminded me of grape Big League Chew. So, at the moment, I'm equating Brooklyn to bubble gum. At least it wasn't something peppermint.
