Fax. My grandfather moved from sc to Pittsburgh like a lot of brehs for Steel Mill jobs back in the day. He used to tell me stories of waking up and brushing ash and soot off his car every morning before going to work.


By the time I grew up in the 80’s the steel mills were all either closed or on the way out. Still nobody was eating any of the fish out of the monongahela river.

Interesting story. Love hearing history from people who were actually there
