It looked good for three years and then it turned black again. Pittsburgh was a haunting grounds. The steel mills belching black soot you had to drive your car with the headlights on at noon to see. If someone painted their house white, within a year it was black. Now that the mills are gone it was designated a wonderful place to live. When I was a kid it was a different story. We lived out almost in the hills of West Virginia but had to go to the city a couple of times a year. It was like the mouth of Hades.
