On Wednesday our friend’s car gotten broken into. We were helping her roommate care of it for her cause she’s in Tokyo (I know) and the tow truck guy was like, hey, you should take it to Fernando’s to get the glass fixed.
Where’s Fernando’s? we said.
AH, do you know where the abortion clinic is? Says the over 40, over weight, thick Chicago accent tow truck guy.
AH, no, not really. We said.
What?! You don’t know where the aBORtion clinic is? EVERYBODY knows where the aBORtion clinic is, geez, he reasoned.
I don’t think I’ve ever had somebody use an abortion clinic as a point of reference when giving directions before, I said. He just kind looked at us like, stupid hipsters.
He also noted later that the car theives did a real slick job, and didn’t damage the car any further than they had to. Thanks, thieves!
Also, we did see an AWESOME hipster while waiting for the tow: he had a teeny tiny dog, bright red, giant tongued high tops, skinny dark jeans, some sort of leather studded coat, slicked/gelled hair, and fake Ray Ban sunglasses. AND HE WAS so, so SERIOUS ABOUT IT. I was all, where are the Saved by the Bell auditions? Are they casting for Slater’s cousin?

I used to think the term "hipster" was lame and whatever, but I think I've progressed to the point in lame-ness where nobody would confuse me with a hipster.
keep dreaming, aaron. i believe you admitted to buying one of those tiny bicycling hats.
sorry.
I WON the bicycling hat, thankyouverymuch.

If he meant the abortion clinic on Western (and the shop there -- tho I don't recall the name -- maybe Fernando's -- is good, friendly, right priced, recommended), there used to be protests there every week. It's quieted down quite a bit, so not quite the reference point for newbies. Because of the protests, I knew of it even before living in the neighborhood.
