Somerville Worries It’s Growing Too Hip
I feel like there’s this trend that once a city amasses enough “hip” twenty-somethings, the local newspaper publishes an article about how “cool” it is. Then they go on about how skinny the jeans are on the dudes that live there, how many “fashionable” hats there are, how many craft beers the bars have and how much the rent is going up. It’s cute and by that I mean really fucking daft. If my partner read this, she’d be convinced that the newspaper is trying to attract more “hipsters” to their little gentrifying towns, which isn't unbelievable since while I read this I admit I kinda felt jealous that I didn't live in Davis Square in my few years in Boston, but I already felt that way before I read this article. I'm sure a number of you chill in “growing ’hoods”. I’ve lived almost exclusively in cities that have been identified as the “hippest cities in America”, so this is nothing new to me. In fact, I used to think articles like this were “amusing” but now they’re getting “tired” because they’re all from the same mold. Has your town been noted for its boutiques by the local newspapers yet? ____________________ Sofi is a Seattle-based freelance artisan poster dedicated to handcrafting the finest in locally sourced commentary for over ten years. ✿ |
