An abundance of cruisers — which Josiah Hesse derides in his “Cruiser bikes sucks” post — aren’t the only sign that this town has been overtaken by hipsters.

There are also all the flip flops.

Says Peter:

What pisses me off is those people that wear flip flops. You don’t ever hear them say “let’s go for a walk”. Trust me, bro, I have an awd and go to the grocery store when it’s snowing and I’ve never seen any flip flop wearers then.

What are the other worrisome signs that this town has become a hipster haven? Post them below, or join the conversation already under way on the cruisers post.
