| Why Is It So Smoky In Nyc Today |
Blame Canada (again)
Let's cut to the chase: it's those darn Canadians again. Or, more accurately, the wildfires raging up north. Thanks a lot, eh? The smoke is making its way down to us, turning our iconic skyline into a blurry, orange-hued masterpiece. It's like living in a constant Instagram filter.

So, What's it Like Living in a Smog Chamber?
Well, it's certainly unique. Walking down the street feels like you're in a particularly hazy dream. The city that never sleeps is now the city that's constantly blinking. And don't even get me started on the smell. It's a peculiar mix of campfire, burning leaves, and something vaguely industrial. Not exactly the fragrance you'd choose for your apartment.
