Question

This city’s night sky was described by James Parton as “hell with the lid off.” This city’s mayor Richard Caliguiri led it through a “Renaissance II” period of economic diversification in the 1980s, prompted by the decline of factories such as Edgar Thomson. This city was home to the legendary seven-foot-tall Croatian worker (10[2])Joe Magarac. In a (emphasize) suburb of this city, Hugh O’Donnell led workers who shot leftover fireworks at a flotilla of (-5[1])landing (10[2]-5[1])barges, (10[1])but (10[2]-5[1])governor Robert (-5[1])Pattison’s (10[1])militia later broke up their (-5[1])strike. Today, this city’s Technology Center and SouthSide Works (10[2]-5[1])complexes are atop the sites of (10[1])old (-5[1])Jones and Laughlin (-5[1])(“LOFF-lin”) factories. During a strike near this city, Alexander Berkman tried to (10[1])stab (10[1])Henry Clay (10[6])Frick. For 10 points, the (-5[1])Homestead (10[2])strike was (10[1])near what city, home to (10[1])Carnegie (10[2])Steel and many (10[2])other (10[1])steel (10[4])companies? (10[10]0[2])■END■
