Bostonist is Decent Community’s crap blog of the week. Weeeeeeeee! Congrats, Bostonist!
Bostonist could be one of the most generic blogs out there. It’s a standard city website that was started by the people at Gothamist, Inc, who then used their cookie cutter city-centric blog style to invade, pollute, and dilute coverage of metropolitan lifestyle in other cities.
The genericness of this site is the main cause for our fury - stereotypical discussions of Boston sports, restaurants, and over-publicized events around the city. You may be thinking; doesn’t Decent Community do something similar? While a few elements may bear semblence, The Decent Community provides insights that go beyond the already-available info in The Globe, Improper Bostonian, Phantom Gourmet, etc. (The Phantom is a decent show, even though the Andelmans can be a touch goofy sometimes.) Essentially, Bostonist reiterates the same old shit from the same lame publications that bombard the City of Boston.
While Decent Community salutes those who are innovative, such as the founders of the Gothamist network, we do not salute those who compromise their creativity (and their soul) to write the standard, archetypical poop like the folks over at the Bostonist.
