urbanite

May 12, 2021, was a balmy night, and dozens of newly vaccinated young urbanites mingled out on the patio.

It was also the biggest marketing flop in McDonald’s history, with the brand spending an estimated $200 million to advertise a sandwich that very few people — especially not sophisticated urbanites — wanted to order.

Since then, urbanites who can’t afford to rent cottages further north have been able to experience the great outdoors in their own downtown.

With an ankle-high, water-repellent, fleece-lined suede upper and a recycled polyester insole, the urban “shootie” is ideal for sharply dressed urbanites who don’t want to break a hip.

It may be that self-isolating urbanites are running up against biochemical limitations of their responsible choices.

It was the sort of day when cities are an abomination, and the soul of the veriest urbanite yearns to follow a gipsy pateran.
