Wherein I point out minor flaws in Rubicon’s geographic descriptions
So what did we learn from Sunday’s Rubicon season finale, other then, well… nothing? We learned that, possibly Kale Ingram doesn’t know much about Williamsburg. Either that, or he knows a lot about it.
For one, it appears to be located in downtown Brooklyn, based on his very precise finger pointing. For two, it is apparently full of “stock brokers and babies.” Hasn’t Ingram read “Yelp” recently? Hipsters! Pabst! Ironic T Shirts! Tight Pants! Talentlessness! etc. Fucking hipsters.
Kind of weird that the Rubicon writers, who apparently have never heard of the internet, would get this popular cliche’ wrong. Either that, or Kale Ingram is himself a hipster, and is bemoaning the 2nd wave of gentrification that has filled Williamsburg with condos and stuff. The neighborhood is just not what it used to be. Did you know that glasslands went legit, and has a f’in liquor license now? Lame. Good thing he lives in Ridgewood.
