Gas Smells Worry Avondale Residents

Avondale residents report gas smells throughout the neighborhood, including this intersection near Avondale Park.

It’s been almost two years since a gas-leak fueled explosion destroyed an apartment building at a public housing complex in Gate City. The explosion killed one woman and injured seven others. As infrastructure deteriorates across the country, citizens in Birmingham are worried a tragedy like that could happen again. Recently, residents in the Avondale neighborhood have complained of gas smells and possible leaks. We hear more on this and other stories from Nick Patterson, editor of the weekly newspaper WELD. He joins us most Thursdays during All Things Considered.
