Fred - "Good one"  - nope still 379 (FR9)    Hey I was there for that Temp Inversion!  Just  9 year older but I remember those terrible days.    The suburbs are moving into the Valley with the new Mon Valley Expressway,  individuals (Yuppies) can get large old brick homes in the 3 towns of Charleroi, Monongahela and Donora for dirt cheap prices and restore.   Maybe the COrrode will come off.
ENJOY all your posts!
