    NYC sewage plant to offer Valentine's Day tours

    Associated Press – Fri, Feb 10, 2012

    NEW YORK (AP) — It may not smell like a rose but a New York City sewage plant is offering tours for lovers on Valentine's Day.

    The tour host and superintendent of the Newtown Creek Wastewater treatment plant in Brooklyn tells the Daily News (http://nydn.us/xEFu6I ) it'll be a unique date, and one that special someone will never forget.

    Jim Pynn says the highlight of the tour will be the plant's giant egg-shaped digesters, which break down the noxious waste into harmless sludge and gas.

    Pynn says each Valentine's Day visitor will get a Hershey kiss — and at least something to talk about.

      methinks Mr. Pynn has been breathing too much sewer gas.

        Anyone else feel like Yahoo comments have been like playing the slots? Hit or mostly miss? Or am I the only one who can’t seem to get them to load completely?

      I have had enough Valentine gifts from New York State. Every year they give us the same thing. A kiss off and a rip off. Love from New York Forget about it.
