Reported by TIME and ABC News, Pittsburgh is now hailed as the most polluted city in the United States, beating out Los Angeles for the first time. YEAH!!! We won at something!!!
This is honestly surprising. Pittsburgh fifty years ago would surely make the top of the list with all of the old steel mills and such--but those were black and white picture days. Now??! ABC News indicates that it’s the "short-term particle solution" that’s causing
all of the trouble in Pittsburgh. It’s embarrassing: we’re not only a town full of alcoholics and football maniacs, but now we’re dirty too!Rest assured though, because hidden in the ABC News article, I found the actual source of our so-called “pollution problem”:
“Although much of the country may have a stereotype of Pittsburgh as a blue collar, steel mill town, Leikauf says that's no longer the case. According to him, more than 80 percent of western Pennsylvania's particulate matter actually drifts from Ohio power plants.”
There you have it! OUR pollution problem is OHIO’s fault. I’m not a football fan by any means (I haven't watched a game in years), but I am familiar with the rivalry between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously the Ohio fans have taken the rivalry to heart, for now they’re trying to kill us with their “particulate matter.” If they can’t beat us, they’ll kill us I tell you.
Oh the city celebrated THEN...but the Cleveland fans will have the last laugh.
