"It had that classic American feel. The night, not the city. Western cities could never have that kind of appeal. It’s not that they don’t have imitations of all the east coast commodities, they just don’t have the character. It took longer than a century to build that experience, and cities like Boston, and Philadelphia- even they weren’t born with it. Portland is a child in America, and while that sleek, cocky swagger might seem eternally debonair in European cafes and crémeries, this is America. And In America, experience is sexy. And that sleek American night was just asking to be plundered. It was the sort of summer night where anything but rolling down your window seems like blasphemy. Rolling down your window because even at sixty, the air is so warm that it couldn’t put a chill in your body. It was the sort of summer night for mischief. Lucky for us, mischief is what we do best."
