EconomyBeat, a user-generated site focusing on- strangely enough- economy stories has begun delving into the wild and woolly reaches of Craigslist, panning for comedy gold and a ground -up view of a cratering economy:
Dear Future late 20/early 30 Hipster Neighbor from the Mid-west/South/Idaho:
I know you are the coolest kid in Iowa/Ohio/Idaho/Texas/Florida/etc but…
While scanning CL for a cool vintage apartment near Hawthorne or Alberta, a sweet barista job and a new fixie to ride around on once you arrive, please reconsider your decision, and please do not move here.
There aren’t any jobs for the people who already live here….
Regards,
Your previous future neighbor
The first collection culled from the "Best of Craigslist" section proved so popular they're working on a second. Maybe we'll get a regular feature... assuming people can still afford internet access as the year goes on. (from EconomyBeat)
