False alarm on P-burgh.
Oil is not the business to be cutting corners in. You still on the southside? I live up in hill country but work in the city.
Refinery fire or Reichstag fire?
Naw, moved to the north side in the 1970’s. I remember that area well though. The street that ran along side the refinery I believe is Presa. Out that way was a really run down country bar that didn't card anyone. Further out was a street off to the right that we street raced on.
I think the old honky tonk was called Frontier Town. Willie Nelson used to play there dressed like a businessman. I always remember he had a song that included the lyrics,” the flesh around your neck is pale; indented by my fingernails; please don't scream, please don't cry; I just can't let you say good-by.”
Can you imagine the s-storm that would erupt if he put out something like that today!
Don’t forget the super high electricity rates, also!
Interesting thread...ping.
Actually it is 3 refinery fires, 2 oil rig accidents, 2 mines and a handful of bombs (Times Square, Texas airport)...

Of course-—that Chicago thug has never lived in parts of the country where a wood stove is the only heat a person has.
He has always lived where power & other types of fuel are never shut down for any reason.
