In the late 70’s, 3rd street near the Farmers Market/The Grove had to be shut down because small patches of flames due to methane gas leaks were coming up through the ground that could melt your car tires! I remember it so vividly because we were worried that the area could explode!

When we first moved in our house smelled like that! I did detective work with the city for months until I found the right person who told me it’s because they don’t close the sewer “gates” properly when they work down there. I had to regularly call them until they stopped doing it. They did measure the air though and said it wasn’t dangerous, but that must have been the cause! I’m just gonna stop breathing…
