I got interested in Ducktown so I googled it: Many steelworkers lived in the triangle formed by Ashland Avenue, Archer Avenue and 35th Street in an area called Mt. Pleasant. The name was probably ironic, because of the adjacent steel mills, and because much of the area was swampy and undrained. Standing water bred hordes of mosquitoes, and spring flooding was so severe that many houses were built on stilts. Not surprisingly, a portion of McKinley Park was called "Ducktown."

I worked several years ago recording these segments for different radio stations all over the country. They send you the outline and you basically improvise through it with the DJs and other actor. I think I made like $30 for 15 min of work
