Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road - S03E19 - Love Hurts - The Abandoned Disaster of Love Canal, New York

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we travel to Western New York, to within miles of the thundering awesome spectacle that is Niagara Falls, to a neighborhood that was once a thriving example of suburban bliss. A neighborhood that, despite its idyllic streets and family cookouts and kids playing in the backyards, was harboring a hidden and nightmarish secret under the feet of its oblivious inhabitants. This is the story of Love Canal, New York; a tale of toxic waste, industrial shenanigans and the lasting effects of corporate greed gone hog wild upon hundreds of innocent lives in what should have been a slice of the American dream. Tales of this insane story from one of America’s worst ecological and health disasters, our own adventures to the Canal and plenty of history abound, so grab a glass of sweet iced tea, sizzle up a burger or hotdog on the grill, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.
