Our Mayor makes Simpsons references.
He's also done more in 2 weeks than the previous mayor did in 5 years.

#106 - Dude who warned me about icy steps
It's simple but that's what matters; standing on Birmingham Bridge with a camera in one hand a slightly perplexed look in the other, a stranger interrupted my thoughts to say ' watch out for those steps, man. they're icy'

#102 - Glorious Pronunciation
The Setting: Valenciennes France, 2006. An American Engineer is out for dinner with a French Engineer and the French / Spanish interpreter after a two long weeks of training. A few beers are consumed. Some small talk about French vs. English languages, pronunciation, etc occurs.
"In Pittsburgh, we have several towns with French names. However, the pronunciation isn't quite correct."
(Interest is piqued among the French Engineer and Interpreter)
"For example, there is a town called Charleroi" ( American Engineer pronounced it 'ˌSHärləˈrwä-ˈroi')
(heads nod)
"And a place, which would be Nord Versaille"
(heads nod)
"We pronounce them CHARLEROY and NORTH VERSALES"
- American Engineer
(Hands thrown in air. Growns of disbelief.)

#101 - Primantis Power Lunch
A group of executives out Parkway East (North Versailles if you want to be precise) decide to take customers out for a Power Lunch. 12 or 15 of them, suits, ties, nice Italian leather shoes and personal secretaries holding all calls. The place they decide to hold this meeting? Primantis.
