Sandwich Guy, Thrower of Hoagie–Or Hero?
The trial ended in an acquittal. But the proceedings felt like a strange sort of performance art—highly amusing and highly menacing at the same time.

two fish -- not species, two actual fish -- were found in the Cuyahoga back then. today, we have 70+ SPECIES in our river.
Studies conducted in the 1960s began to reveal the horrific state of water pollution. High levels of bacteria were found in the Hudson River, and pollution killed 26 million fish in one Florida lake. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland caught fire due to an oil slick. /2
