We are witnessing a textbook Brown Ocean Effect take place this morning.
@34rthhasrisen@emma6USA My family heritage goes back to this town. Many of my ancestors worked those mines. I remember traveling there to meet family members. My grandparents are from there and met there before moving to Philadelphia before WWII. Heavy Ukrainian immigrant area.
