Mark Steiner, longtime Scarecrow Video employee, is shown in the Seattle store Sept. 10, with shelves upon shelves of movies expanding out behind him that he helped to bring to the location over 34 years.

Frustrated by Landry treatment, Jones/Switzer, and a lack of institutional control (cocaine/women arrests etc), I was working on a newspaper sports desk watching them play the expansion Panthers in the playoffs and said "I hope they lose." I like to think I cursed their future postseasons that day
