Portland Pickles’ Ten Cent Beer Night: Bad Idea Gone Good?
Roll your eyes back in your head and dream with me, back to a time when America was young. The year is 1974, fifty years ago. The place is Cleveland, a city in Ohio. There's a professional baseball team there, the Indians. They wouldn’t get rid of that offensive team name until 2021. At the time of this tale, they were playing against the Texas Rangers. To gin up attendance, the Indians hosted a promotion, as teams often do. It wasn’t even the cheapest promotion they’d held, but it stands out in the halls of sports history as a bad idea of epic proportions—Ten Cent Beer Night.

Lead-sheathed telecom cables and historic leaded gasoline emissions substantially raise environmental lead levels in Portland, Oregon
Communications Earth & Environment volume 5, Article number: 384 (2024) Cite this article. We conducted a high-resolution study of lead in an urban moss, Orthotrichum lyellii, to better understand lead distributions and sources in Portland, Oregon (United States). The outdoor lead landscape is found to be heterogenous, with lead concentrations varying with age of neighborhood: on average 8.3× and 19× the rural background in newer (≥1948) and older neighborhoods (≤1915), respectively. This study finds leaded gasoline to be a pervasive and persistent lead source, decades after the complete phase out of leaded gasoline use by on-road vehicles. The highest lead levels, up to 590× the rural background, are found in older residential neighborhoods where relic lead-sheathed telecommunication cables were identified. Leaching of lead from these cables is thought to be responsible for elevated lead in older residential neighborhoods in cities across the country. Targeted research is needed to quantify the impact of these cables on lead exposures in affected communities.
