My smelly valentine: Sewage treatment plant offers tours [View all]

If you rea

lly want to show that special someone how much your care about her this Valentine’s Day, take her to see some sewage.

On this Valentine’s Day, one of the more unorthodox activities available to lovebirds is the ability to take that special someone for a tour of the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection is offering a tour of the sewage treatment facility that lasts just under two hours and culminates in an expansive view of the Manhattan skyline and the 53-acre Newtown plant from 130 feet up.

For the record, have been covering some real hard core news, but will be posted all over facebook and twitter, not here.

SO if you really want to know what happened this weekend in san diego, of quite possibly national importance, just not here.

And a few of the hard core party loyalists would be jealous as well.
