Maybe it's just a matter of opinion, but I never found the Beacon Hill light rail station to smell like anything other than raw concrete, similar to DC metro or any other deep tunnel system.
I lived in the neighborhood at the time, and don't remember the station shutting down due to water ingress. Opening was delayed due to issues with overexcavation, but that threat was with sinkholes opening to the public above, not issues with the tunnel itself.
- hinkley 3y agoMy nose is pretty good at picking up mildew smells. I've been in plenty of rooms where half the people can't smell anything. After years of rhinitis my sense of smell is half-shot, but I can still walk into a room and find the forgotten towel moldering away under a chair or table. Why couldn't I have lost that power and kept something more pleasant?
