What do I think? I don't know if there is/could be a connection or not, but I would certainly look into it. Steel mills are one of the biggies when it comes to toxic waste & environmental hazards, whether operating or defunct. Do you know (or can you find out) if anyone else in that neighborhood has developed symptoms of any kind (not even necessarily the same symptoms as you)?

Hmm, yeah it may be worth a trip back there to speak with my former neighbors. No one in my lowrise at the time experienced anything unusual from what I recall.

The 2 rheumys I saw didn't even mention the possibility nor did they check me for tender spots. I know that I don't experience 'fibro fog' during my flare ups and I've read many studies that claim that exercise is good for fibro but it's certainly isn't in my case.
