After work today I had a hair appointment with Jorge. I love the things he does to my hair. By the time I got to Whole Foods to do my grocery shopping, it was rush hour time, so it was very busy. I noticed that most of the people at the South Loop Whole Foods are tattooed hipsters, which seems kind of funny to me because I always perceived it as kind of a yuppie store, and I thought hipsters were supposed to be broke. One tattoo-covered girl in particular looked familiar.
I pulled up to my apartment and starting unloading the bags from my back seat. I noticed that my next door neighbors (who I have never met) were arriving home at the same time on their bikes. They unloaded the baskets and I noticed that they had just been at Whole Foods as well. Another car pulled up across the street, and the familiar-looking tattooed girl got out, also toting paper bags from Whole Foods.
I really wanted to say something, but wasn't sure exactly what to say. I just thought the situation was kind of funny. I used to complain about how everyone in Naperville drives the same car, wears the same clothes, shops at the same places... it looks like the same is true of us here in East Pilsen.
