Having been born and raised in Niagara Falls, NY, I've always been interested in Love Canal. Fortunately I lived in neighborhoods not impacted by the Love Canal disaster caused by chemicals dumped by Hooker Chemical Corporation. It wasn't until this year, at the age of 51, that I learned there's a song called Love Canal, by Flipper.
Last month, PBS aired "Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal."
Here are some articles and another video if you're not familiar with Love Canal...
