1940s Pittsburgh street scene. That isn’t fog.
“Before environmental regulations, Pittsburgh looked like the capital of Hell
After World War II, Pittsburgh finally enacted smoke control laws to curb the release of coal emissions into the city. But prior to citizens’ grassroot environmental reform efforts, this industrial murk enveloped buildings and streets in darkness and transformed day into the inky evening.
Here’s a collection of Pittsburgh street scenes from the 1940s and 1950s, during which the end of the world seems to be consistently unfolding every other afternoon.”
