I like the look of their stacks, and a local blogger once even suggested uplighting them at night--calling it an example of "rust belt chic."  But, when one of the scrubbers breaks down, they sure can smudge a clear sky.

They look like smaller versions of the stacks that once towered over "Jenny" (RIP) at the Brier Hill Works. That's the same Jenny that Bruce Springsteen sang about in "Youngstown."
