We used to watch them pour slag at night on the way home from Grandma’s house in Dormont. We’d pretend it was a volcano.

From chimps to tea to slag...FR truly covers it all. Here's a good article about
Brown's Dump, fondly remembered as the slag heap. There was a drive-in not far away on Route 51 and you could either watch the movie or look out at the side windows and watch the orange glow as the cars dumped their cargo down the side.

My Pleasant here and we used to go to the Dairy Queen, get $.10 cones, and go watch the coke ovens burning at night
I remember when driving into Pittsburg was like entering Dante’s inferno
