"my hometown of Pittsburgh" Went to W&J in Wash, Pa. during the 1960's. Jones & Laughlin on the Monongahela waterfront was going full bore 24/7.

If I remember correctly that plant was 7 miles from coke ovens to rolling mills along that big old river.Heck of a sight at night.

Can't get used to blue skies over P-Burgh.

Two questions:

1. Are they still making Iron City Beer?

Did they ever find the B-25 that had to pancake in the Mon after running out of gas?

Is there a list of union companies to boycott? We already don’t by GM or other union car companies. But I want to know which other companies my family no longer needs to do business with. Thanks

Last time I was up there, it was readily available but is now brewed in Latrobe and not at the longtime facility in Lawrenceville. One oldtime brand that was revived in 2010 was Duke:

As for the B-52 and the Mon, I'll defer to Pittsburgh experts. I've been gone from there almost 40 years. But, I did bust a union before heading to the far-better Christian Conservative state of Texas.
