Posted by Charlie_Dunver 12/23/2006 12:14 AM | remove   Most of us would probably throw up if we were suddenly teleported back there. The city stank in a thousand ways and the air quailty was probably terrible. It still isn't wonderful but so much of it today is relatively invisible. Posted by ex-goose-villager 4/6/2007 7:59 AM | remove   When I grew up in Goose Village, the stockyards were right across Bridge Street. You could see the cow manure piled up high on flatcars. The odour was strong, particularly in summer, but one grew used to it to the point that you really didn't notice it--you just accepted it. This didn't harm me, growing up, nor did the contamination in the soil--we played in the dirt, and got filthy just like kids everywhere.
