Stop in for a cup of coffee

It brutal around here, cars kick up clouds of yellow-green dust going through intersections.

I suspect you don’t see it as much in the City since there aren’t the huge patches of woods like we have out here. After the rain, we see puddles with the pollen slime caked around the edges unless it rains heavy enough to wash it away.

It usually gets real bad around here in Spring. A visible layer on the cars and porches for a few weeks. I don't remember anything like it in North Jersey. My theory was lots of trees and plants, combined with lack of soft ground covers to trap and hold the stuff. However your description would seem to disprove that. It seems likely you have a higher ratio of lawns, gardens and fields to paving than west Philly.
