mendacity, be damned!
there’s a pair of idiots who work in the room behind me who continuously yammer on about nothing of interest. usually.
today, one of them was talking about their friday night adventure at a place called “circle bar” - which, apparently, is in santa monica.
as my new year’s resolution was to frequent new establishments and say “yes” to invitations out on a regular basis, i actually took the time to at least google the place to see if there was a single measure of humanity found in said idiot #1.
this was my favorite yelper’s review of the aforementioned watering hole:
Ahhh, I never tire of the people who are so insulated from the realities of true disparity that they can go to bars in the well-heeled sections of town (Santa Monica has a median income of well over $90,000) and still have the audacity to claim they are either dive bars or “not posh”.
Please. the Circle Bar hasn’t been a dive since back in the late 70s - nothing to write home about and def. not something to “tweet” about.
Now, like most of the older bars in the area, this is quite simply a hipster watering hole filled with white, trust-fund babies; hipsters looking to get some street cred by pretending to be “slumming” in a city that is one of the most expensive places to live on earth.
Mendacity be damned!!
bravo, yelper. bravo.
