It left a stain on the psyche of black Pittsburgh. You can never drive on Route 51 and not think of it.

The stains could be seen only in the sunlight, so Ruth was never really aware of them until later, when she would stop at an outdoor cafe for a cup of coffee, and look down at her skirt and see the dark traces of spilled vodka or whiskey. The alcohol had the effect of making the black cloth blacker. This amused her; she had noted in her journal: 'booze affects material as it does people'.

For all our secular rationalism and technological advances, potential for surrender to the charms of magical thinking remains embedded in the human psyche, awaiting only the advertiser to awaken it.

I like the product that I see. I think that this is something that can really take off in Pittsburgh. I have always wanted a pro team to come to this city. I'm a big fan.

Leave not a stain in thine honour.

Montreal showed a little more that they wanted me. That's why I think they got me here. If Pittsburgh showed a little bit more interest, it could have been different. You never know.
