Is that a dog? No one needs to kick a dog.
That isn't a dog. That's a Hipster.

That's always my question. I live a simple, country way of life. I don't try to change where I live, because I like the way it is. I don't move elsewhere and tell them that they need to make their town more to my liking. Why do they have to do it to us?
Yup. We had so many old hippies buy farms around us and then complain about the smell of manure and gunshots during deer season. You do realize where you moved to, right?
Maybe in the city, but folks where I live won't go for it.
Still, there's no love lost between the big city and the sticks. Although if you threw the suburbs in the room with them...lol
Because they think they know better then you do.
Those hippies who own farms around you will be there along with the hipsters they spawned.
Luckily, none of them have kids to raise. These are sixties hippies. They're all old and kids are long gone. They move out here to retire, and complain about the natives, I guess.
How do you identify them as "Hippies"? Do they yet wear Tye-dye and Love beads? Flowers in their hair?
Drive orange and green Volkswagen Microbusses?
No one needs to kick a hipster. Unless she is LizzieMaine, and said hipster has failed to maintain the Strand popcorn popper.That isn't a dog. That's a Hipster.
What's "rowdy"? Do you count roughhouse and fisticuffs as a cherished part of working class culture?esteban68 said:and 'rowdy' behaviour in what were once working mens pubs is very much frowned upon!
money talks I suppose!
Tom, how close to Chicago are you? That's the kind of real estate @sshattery one associates with only the very biggest cities. Someone from Des Moines, Mpls, etc, would more likely move the property if they couldn't keep it up. But someone used to tight markets and speculation would just hold onto it with minimal upkeep, waiting for a sucker...
I am far from Chicago. Gotta be a 4-6 hour drive.
I know the guy who ended up with our old farm, he's an odd duck. Also bought my dad's old store downtown, started hanging out with his friends, it was a weird scenario.
Maybe, he wants to be your Dad?
That's what I'm getting out of it, but it's weird. Why? He's just a regular guy, like anybody else.
To you and maybe himself, but probably not to Creepy NutJob Bob.
The answer is probably something you really don't want to know.I reckon you're right. There's just some folks out there what really make me scratch my head and wonder why.
