Have to be an idiot to try cranking back up in Liberalville Pittsburg even if the plats were intact.

“Have to be an idiot to try cranking back up in Liberalville Pittsburg”

I live there ... it’s funny ... the liberals that whined about manufacturing jobs leaving when Bush was in office and they whine about steel mills possibly coming back ... they’ll whine and protest the mills should they ever make a comeback here. That will sit well with union democrat voters ...

You are right. Somebody floated the idea a few years back and the enviro-wackos went nuts.

Nah, we are becoming San Francisco on the Monongahela.
Full of Millenial software engineers and bike paths and coworking spaces and endless numbers of Gay Pride festivals.

Myron Cope is spinning in his grave n’at.

The union Democrat voters have the government they supported for decades, indulged in peccadilloes for at least as long and voted slavishly for year after year for more than half a century.

They get what they deserve.

It's still around, but almost nobody drinks it. They are all into artsy, pricey microbrews. Iron City is now made in the old Rolling Rock brewery in Latrobe (the original one in Lawenceville suffered some critical infrastructure failure).

“Obama: These jobs are not coming back”

Trump must have found that “magic wand” that BO was laughing about.

In 1977 I was going cross country from Colorado to Wash DC along I-70. I was a young GI, had a used 70 Ford Maverick, and got 4 new retreads (remember those, before radials?) put on and started my trip.

By the time I got to Kansas City, Missouri I knew something was wrong! Just West of St Louis, the reapplied treads came off. Not wanting to stop in Soul Louis, I crossed the Mississippi and wound up in Granite City. I limped to a tire dealer. I had practically no real money, no credit card or even check book. At the time I got paid 2 a month by cash and that was it.

Well, to make long story sort, this guy who owned the place had a son who died in Vietnam, and he gave me and mounted four new radials and told me to mail him the money when ever I had enough.

Some grat folks in Granite City!

The first liberal in history was seen standing in a cold rain complaining and crying about the rest of the tribe destroying nature by cutting some branches to make a shelter and build a fire. Some things just never change but seems like there are a lot more of them around then ever before.

Did you ever think the US would see an uptick in melted steel? Most of the cookers got dismantled and sent to Asia.
