Gerritt Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 I spent ALOT of time in Port Hope... infact a 5 minute walk from the area that caused all of this mess... albeit the walk was all down hill and it was steep!... my grandparents lived there for 30+ years! and have since moved further east to Brighton... my Oma could no longer handle the stairs... Port Hope is a nice quaint town with decent people living there... I remember walking past a factory that produced foam? for automotive purposes... and thinking to myself, what is with all the rubbish! Garbage all over their property, mostly foam discarded as a by-product.. We would see it on the beach, and my Oma and I made a game out of it to see who collect more... and then see who could throw it over their fence the farthest... as tough as my Oma is... I beat her all the time I liked Port hope, We would have Rusks, Horse meat (not gross folks) and Gouda slices for Lunch with tea... watching the Train go by from their elevated deck... Being so close for so many years... not one ill effect. The plant in question was literally at the bottom of the street from them... anyways I remember good times growing up, and spending partial summers there.. This in my opinion is something for the media to write about
