Ist about time

February 15th, 2005 · 1 Comment

How’d I miss this? (Thanks to Nedward for pointing it out). No more second-class city disparagement for Boston anymore, now that we’ve got our very own “-ist.” I’d been wondering when it would arrive, and it seems like it was sometime in early January. Looks like they’re still working things out, as all of the trackbacks and some of the links and page titles go to Chicagoist, but hey, Boston’s long been the Chicago of the East, right? Anyway, happy to see we’ve got our very own place for navel-gazing, urban-mythologizing, and information-spreading. Add another blog to the daily read – though they really need to use the Zakim Bridge in their masthead. Didn’t everyone see the memo? It’s Boston’s Newest Landmark!
