In the 1940's, a popular disc jockey, Rege Cordic, said it was a beautiful
clear day in downtown Pittsburgh, you can even see the Allegheny whitefish!
He was referring to raw sewage. About 3 years ago while in Pittsburgh, visiting
family, we went to the "Eat and Park" on Ohio river Blvd, the special was whitefish
and macaroni and cheese, I ordered "The Allegheny Whitefish" and the young waitress
(20ish) when she served me, said here is some Allegheny Ketchup to go with your
Allegheny Whitefish! Bob Monheim Norfolk, Va
