I have seen pictures of Pgh. at noon where the cars have their
headlights on and the pedestrians are wearing what looks like surgical
masks. I also remember driving down Parkway East from town toward the
Squirrel Hill Tunnels and smelling the "rotten egg" smell of the sulfer
gasses being released from the Hazelwood Steel Mills. Orange billowing
plumes expanding up into the sky over the Mon. River from the multiple
stacks. Some memories are gladly changed from the past.
