David DiPonzio, a firefighter with the Lake Shore Fire District in Greece, was hanging out at Ontario Beach Park about a week ago when he took these photos of a strange-looking crater in the middle of the parking lot

Very interesting!  I had no idea there was an iron mining operation right across the river from where I live.  Thanks for posting, Donna.

So that's why I've been coughing my lungs out for the last week or two!  I've been breathing in tiny slag particles from across the river from where I live.
