So here’s the setting.

It’s Pittsburgh in the 1970’s and no longer will just “working hard” make ends meet. Pink slips are coming down in a flurry as the blue collar industries which helped build the city are quickly transitioning into rustbelt relics.

Growing up amidst this evident shift, Bill Hinchey doubts his father’s instructions could have resonated any clearer. At its core, his father’s message more or less embodied the same one that was most likely passed down to him. Work hard, he told his son, but again, this was 1970’s Pittsburgh. Even some of the hardest workers were coming down hard on their luck.
