Aliquippa, Pa is no longer sooty....all mills have shut down.

I have relatives in Aliquippa ... IMO, it was a better place when the steel mills were belching smoke while providing good jobs ... and people had a lot more freedom than they have today.

My Mom still lives there and I visit at least once a week. My late father would tell me not to complain about the smell and smoke, which was worse downtown and across the river in Baden. Said if it wasn't smoky there wouldn't be any jobs. How true......and sad.
