Jones & Laughlin: 1941
January 1941. "Steelworkers of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, waiting for a bus to go home at the end of the afternoon shift." Medium format acetate negative by Jack Delano. View full size.
Gridiron greats
I never hear Aliquippa without thinking of Tony Dorsett and Mike Ditka.
Good dressers
The crazy thing here is that coming away from a job like that, they're dressed as well or better than most people going to church these days.
Steel and Football
Aliquippa's main industry today is football. "Playing Through the Whistle: Steel, Football, and an American Town" is the engaging story of how steel built the town and how football has sustained it since the 1980s.
Next-door to Ambridge
Many photos of Ambridge (named for the American Bridge Company) have appeared on Shorpy.
J&L closed in the mid-‘80s, and the city has lost about two-thirds of its population.
My connection: I used to ride the 16A Ambridge bus to my job in Pittsburgh.
