It’s hard to tell whether or not the author is just trolling all of us:
Morning yoga in the Mission district followed by frangipane croissant and a cappuccino at Tartine Bakery, watching the hipsters heading to Dolores Park for a day of sunshine snoozing — and another perfect San Francisco weekend has begun.
I don’t even know anymore, so you might as well just go read it yourself.
If the shoe fits…
It’s Vogue India so probably sincere. But to put in vintage SoCal parlance, “Gag me with a spoon.”
Reads like any other lifestyle travel and real estate buyer’s guide.
“The Hipster. Early mornings at the Sprit Rock Meditation Center followed by some flea market scouring in Alameda and garden shopping at Flora Grubb Gardens in Bayview. Hanging with friends at Mission Bowl, and then dancing to live African music at Little Baobob is all part of a perfect weekend for her.”
…nigga, who the fuck is going to mission bowl? every single mission resident i know screams BULLSHIT at the very concept of that place.
who goes all the way to spirit rock casually in the morning?
Could we send a reporter from Mission Mission to do a piece on a Chai Wallah in Mumbai?
YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST A MAGAZINE VERSION OF THIS BLOG, RIGHT?
YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST A SNARKY KNEEJERK REACTION FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE PIGEONHOLED POORLY, RIGHT?
HUH?
We laugh because it’s funny, you cry because it’s true.
” San Francisco is a liberal haven where your body is your temple and there are no limits to where your mind can take you”
Which Hipsters consider their bodies a haven?
Naive Burners?
My body is a haven.
Man, I wish that article allowed comments. I wanted to ask how their hipsters felt about the human feces encrusted Mid-Market/SoMa area. And in addition, oh gawd.
“…and Sunday mornings at the waterside farmer’s market at the Ferry Building.”
Oops, the farmer’s market is on Saturdays.
So what’s with the big group of people selling vegetables there on sundays?
Good question, ask these guys http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/farmers_market.php
You all remember the Jezebel article “Of Course the Most Annoying Craigslist Ad Ever is in San Franciscp.” What was supposedly an”ironic” but more like embarrassed? Yeah. Something like that. Roommate posting gone wrong: http://jezebel.com/5982574/of-course-the-most-annoying-craigslist-ad-ever-is-from-san-francisco
Hipster, techie, fixie, PBR, DP, YOLO, gentrification, small plate, artisan, Gbus, $15 burger, mini golf. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
They’re definitely trolling, and you’re definitely still falling for this and re-trolling your readers whenever you post on these pieces by un-locals.
YEAH PEOPLE NOT FROM HERE DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING
Doesn’t have anything to do with the point I was making about trolling, but yes this article does support your theory.
true to all those who say this is a non-native point of view of SF. if readers hadnt pointed out that this was vogue india, i would have guessed a new yorker wrote it. i love SF because someone’s always writing a review about it, and then the real locals come to rip it apart. but its all out of love since the biggest fans of SF are also the most critical. tangent note: my favorite part about this blog is the comments
YES POWER TO THE PEOPLE
If the author is reading these posts, please make a correction; the restaurant pictured as being in SOMA is actually Destino, upper Market.
The author lives in SF and works at Google. I don’t know if that makes this better or worse
WORSE
much, much worse.
I don’t know, articles like this are fantastic maps to where to place the humane traps to capture the majestic Douchetard when it ventures from its home range.
We can release them at the LA border
an me an my homeboy thought it was smoking a fat joint and goin to fidas for another 40 ozer.guess we dont live in the “real mission”?????
Ugh…liberals. Liberals are hateful people.
If by “hateful” you mean “sensible”, then yes.
