Born and raised on the muh NONG a HAY la river in a borough called Charleroi, we had great fun swimming in and playing along the banks of the river. Quite a few of us, as kids, were taught to swim by a Polar Bear by the name of Gus Brickner. Swimming in the river would leave our underpants colored un-removable brown as the coal and oil shipped north and south was in the river and everything that touched it. Allenport and Monessen's plants of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel used to keep this water quite filthy but we had fun none the less. Since the early 1970's when an acid sludge came down the river, it has been cleaned up and stock with a number of voracious fish species. Muskellunge and walleye and of course there are catfish both channel cat and bullhead varieties. We are all breathing easier and the hawks which seemed to disappear sometime after the 1950's, have made an impressive comeback and once in a while you may catch sight of a peregrine falcon. We have quite a spread of barn owls and screech owls and coyote (or wolf) as they are fleeting. Red fox are also in the area. If you go straight west you may even be able to trap mink. We are about 31 miles south of Pittsburgh's triangle. By the way, across the river and downstream (to the north), is a city (population) named MONESSEN. It was named for MON from Monongahela and Essen, a steel town in Germany. MON (hey,mon!) ESSEN. MO nessen MON essen or mon ESSEN
