john fetterman, mayor of braddock, made arrangements for open access to explore the Carrie blast furnace in Rankin this afternoon. Loving rusty old abandoned places like I do, I met up with some friends for an afternoon of wandering around exploring this fabulous old steel production facility. Here are a few of my shots from this afternoon:
