Pittsburgh is the Sootiest City in America....again!
Click here for a full article on CNN.
This is really not good for the city of Pittsburgh, who for years has been trying to change their image from 'The Steel Town' to something much nicer. (Not really sure what, but they keep referring to 'The Steel Town' as being what the city USE to be.
What is even funnier is that they have been ramping up for their 250th year celebration and playing all kinds of old jingles....one jingle that sings "Pittsburgh, a smokey old town" over and over. How little changes over the years.
I will say, that if you have been to Pittsburgh you might be hard pressed to actually see the Soot as the city has cleaned up many of its old industrial sites. Now there are strip malls, new stadiums, hospitals, apartment complexes on these old sites.
I just hope for Pittsburgh's sake (a shrinking town in both population and business importance) can somehow change their fortunes around.
