Light of the mills.

I grew up on the near north side of Youngstown and during WWII we could read our comic books on my front porch by the light of the furnaces. It was a great place in the 1940s and 50s.

A friend just introduced me to this blog and I was so excited to see this picture. My grandfather worked at this steel mill. He probably didn't get there until the 50s, but I'm sure it looked the same.
