the mother blog of capitol hill has highlighted a particular comment they received re-guarding someone who feels the need to separate more precisely the below 15th area and the above 15th area. now i agree these sections of cap hill prioritize things differently but for someone to suggest the old masking tape down the center tatic really hurts my heart. i have a few kind words for this sucker…
first of all, buddy, calling yourself a yuppie is almost embarrassing as calling yourself a hipster. you’re basically stamping your own forehead with loser.
when i head to 15th, primarily for foods, the bank or the occasional safeway venture, i find more tree huggers, more mother-daughter crock combos, more real life flannel than anything yuuuuuppie.
yup.
according to history, the term yuppie is dervied from “young-upcoming-professional”. that, for me at least, conjures images of the blackberry lovin’, italian suede wearin’, riesling drinkin’ floozies that frequent other big cities-cities we choose not to settle down in.
i don’t see too many of these on 15th when i venture-at least not ones that seem to live in a close block radius to the fun.
and the point of this post is this: the commenter proposes a trade. they want god forsaken boom noodle, and want to give us the canterburry! don’t they know we’ve been trying to get the canterbury for years now?! finally a place to play pool that isn’t the garage or cafe met. i’m gonna go ahead and let this guy know we’re all in. i would also suggest the trade of quinn’s for smith but as someone living below 15th i think a little alternative medicine could really help this guy out.
hats off to you, commenter, for having an opinion, and sorry for spitting in your face.

You raise a good point. But all my hipster friends DO live below 15th. and all my yuppie friends DO live above it. Maybe jseattle can make another poll, asking where the hipsters live, and where the yuppies live? Then we will find truth.
All the hipsters and yuppies will interbreed and become hippies. Then we’re all really going to be fucked.
I always thought yuppie meant “young urban professional”; if it wasn’t a synonym for douchebag I’d use to describe myself since those three words describe me pretty well.
I live between 14th and 15th too, but I’m not gay.
Yuppie is indeed a (derogatory) term used to describe a “young urban professional”. I would never suggest that there’s a problem fitting that description, just as I would never coax you into the pursuit of socially “hipper” walk of life. However, while in neighborhoods such as the hill, you must be willing to take a hot rocket of trash talk up the dirty squints. As a yuppie, you’re essentially an enormous neon sign reading “I’m going to transform your life into an endless Brookstone catalog”. And I doubt it’s personal, it’s just all too easy to make the assumption that you inhabit the luxury condos that are popping up like a fierce case of the herps complete with concierge service and a washer/dryer combo in each unit. Though realistically, this can all be traced back to the gays and their ability to make a neighborhood appealing. Look at WeHo, right?
yeah, canterbury is already gotten.
and they can have boom noddle. didn’t like the looks of it from the outset. food is medium.
PS: I would draw the line on 14th. We don’t need Poco or the new Zaw.
well consiering our office is right on the cusp of 14th and 15th we’re gonna need to push that line… but we totally understand.
