Clairton.

That’s near Pittsburgh , right?

Isn’t that where the steelworker and Polish Catholic wedding scenes
for the movie “The Deerhunter” were filmed?

I’m not sure about that scene but I know that some of that film was shot in Homestead which is just up the road.
When I was a kid, everything in Clairton was orange from the mill dust. Workers at the plant had to wipe off the windows on their cars after the shift was over, so they could see to drive home. No orange dust now, it just stinks like hell.

Here's what Homestead Works looked like in the 70s when that film was made.

Here's what it looks like today.
