The hipsters first came to town around 2010. At that time we still had bookstores, recordstores, video rental stores, art stores and a lot of unique locally owned little shops. But after the hipsters had been here a few months all of those places closed down and were replaced by car lots or simply nothing at all. So where do the hipsters go, and what do the hipsters do? I don't know. But they're there. I seem them. I hear them around the corner speaking in authentic northern accents as if they actually were from Brooklyn and the Bronx and Boston and Maine and Ohio and Chicago all at once. And they have all the things you look for in town and can't find. And they're into all the things you were made fun of and put on medication for being into in high school and all throughout your twenties. And if you approach them, and try to talk to them, and tell them that you too were into the original episodes of Wild and Crazy Kids with the original cast of Donny Jeffcoat, Omar Gooding and Annette Chavez who was then replaced by Jessica Gaynes around mid first season, they'll just nod and condescend and then disappear in a wisp. Leaving you nothing but memories and not even a Goodwill left to shop in.
