Deep in the heart of the Rust Belt sits the declining Steel City of Monessen Pennsylvania. It is by far one of the hardest hit areas from the industrial era. With a population of 6,677, it's down from a height of 20,268 in the 1930's. Once a booming city, full of steel production, businesses, amazing architecture and people, now in severe decline. So many empty homes, closed businesses, and falling apart infrastructures. Poverty is increasing annually as well, currently sitting at 19.6%. With the decline of steel production in the 1980's, Monessen has yet to recover. As efforts to improve the city take place, will it make a comeback? Time will tell. Let's take a drive and check it out. This is for educational and documentary purposes.
