On 9/11 at about 8:30 am I went into a deli to order an egg and cheese on a roll and I recall as I walked through the door thinking how the place smelled exactly like my elementary school cafeteria that I hadn’t thought about in 25 years. Now when I think of 9/11 the first thing I think about is that smell and my elementary school cafeteria. Then for months after, all I could smell around the city was this chemical electrical burning smell lingering….occasionally when I’m driving around I’ll smell that smell from who knows where and it brings me right back there.
