“Yuppie Holding Camp”. Good one. :D

Yea, I biked in that area with a friend who worked on the environmental cleanup of that island. The remediation work was something fierce. On par with some of the work done with Neville Island.

There was an old cartoon about the rivers (Allegheny, Mon, and the Ohio) that showed a catfish and a carp swimming past litter and labeled (the 50s) and a second one with them swimming past unlittered bottom labeled (the 80s) with the carp commenting “I wish they would have left the TV”.

The stockyards had a tremendous fire while I lived behind Heinz. Days of dark brown fog that smelled like stewing rats. The night sky and rivers had a distinct color at times—green for copper and red for iron. From Mt Washington you could see the red river and green river join, and keep their separate colors flowing towards Ohio.
