Circa 1941: Used to swim in the Monongahela River Pittsburgh, PA) way before they stopped dumping raw sewage into the rivers.Wasn’t anything to swim into floating turds! We didn’t think anything about it, just enjoyed our swim. Would swim out to the coal barges going down river, and much to the chagrin of the barge workers, climb up the side, run down to front barge and dive off while the workers chased us. Talk about nuts!
