When we left our dormitory to drive for dinner, everybody of us got two sheets of paper from Brandon to read. It was about an old steel mill place, where we were going to drive. We saw the first houses of this area after half an hour driving. The area was very big and in those days it was a steel mill, but they put their garbage in tanks under the earth, so it is very polluted. Largely there were arms built for world war two. Nowadays you can go shopping and eating there, like we did. The boss of RiverQuest Karl Thomas and his family met us for dinner and we had a fantastic meal.

I take it that Martin really liked the tires? Did anyone lose their shoes in the mud? Did anyone give Memo the blogsite address?
Don't worry, no shoes were lost! Memo has the new blog address.
Incidentally, the Homestead, PA area is no longer polluted the way it was in the days of the booming steel mills. The brownfields left behind as the mills closed and eventually came down to make way for The Waterfront were remediated through the removal of contaminated soils, or the burial of them beneath several feet of earth. The only pollution you'll find at The Waterfront today might be automobile or locomotive exhaust.
