I lived in McKee's Rocks in the late 50's, just above the steel mills and the B&O yard. You could put a piece of bread on the windowsill and it would be black in one minute.

It is educational to look at the old photos.

What we have right now is bad. It was like that every day for years in Pittsburgh and Bethlehem.

It is also worth noting we have 5000 miles of dead streams in Pa because of on going coal mine ground water pollution. It will never be fixed. Also one coal mine is still on fire.

The state is not controlling the gas frackers!
