When I first came to Pittsburgh many years ago on a business trip I immediately did not like the area. My initial thought was WOW this city is dirty. It looked dirty. From the rusty bridges to the dirty streets and the dilapidated housing the whole area surrounding the city just looked dirty. Well now many years later we get this report that well says PITTSBURGH is dirty. I have lived in Western Pennsylvania for almost 10 years now. Perhaps this report explains my increased allegy problems since moving out here. I guess it is time to move again.

In regards to the report one news person said that Pittsburgh has not gotten dirtier LA just got cleaner. Isn't that nice? Why doesn't Pittsburgh get cleaner? Why not work on it a bit?

Concerning the coke plant in the valley. OKAY why build a plant that pollutes in a valley where the air gets trapped?

Years ago Pittsburgh was the steel capital of the world and yes it was dirtier then. But there is more Pittsburgh can do to improve.
