Another sign of the End Times: Hipsters discover East Boston

By adamg on Tue, 04/26/2005 - 1:02pm

Carmeller spots the following ad on the hipsterati watering hole, i.e., craigslist:

East Boston (EaBo) loft coming in several months, 14'+ ceilings, walk to airport station, 800 square feet + 400 sf mezzanine, AC, roof rights, all stainless steel appliances, brand new. Don't wait to inquire. Come to Boston Magazine "hottest city neighborhood".

EaBo? EaFRICKINBo? I guess only people who drink SoBe can live in EaBo. Why not highlight its proximity to Logan Airport? EaBoLa!

Oh, for the love of cheese. It's not as if "EaBo" saves even a single syllable from "Eastie." Besides, EaBo sounds too much like Tae Bo, so I can't help but think of Billy Blanks sweating on a video when I hear it. And Billy Blanks sweating is not really an image I find it necessary to envision in the course of an average day, although maybe that's just me. (Me = A non-hip but extremely content East Boston resident who prefers not to exercise in front of sweaty people on TV.)

I can feel the Starbucks waiting--lurking stealtily in the shadows, sharpening it's claws. Nothing can save us now--Evil summoned by a single contraction. ;-
