The music should be more "The Way We Were". I do not believe most of the
viewers have the romanticized feelings the videographer had in mind, read
the comments under the video, but some of it is the McKeesport I remember as
a child. Luckily we got out of there in 1962.
McKeesport is like so many other mill towns, they began their decline in the
1960's and have never made it back. Is the automobile and cheap gas to
blame? We built suburbia and now wonder why mass transit cannot save us from
higher fuel prices. We are still lucky in comparison to fuel prices in
Europe.
