[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will either love it or hate it. I hate it, and will tell you the things I hate about it, which you may not hate.

It is stridently liberal. I am liberal. But because I do not have a yard sign that says "love loves here and we love all kinds of people" I suspect my neighbors, who've also heard my opinions re: the Co-Op Parking Lot Wars, do not think so. I'm not sure. We no longer speak.

If you love yoga classes, and expensive yuppie Mexican food, it may be for you. If you are a nice white family who wants some diversity around them and support for your quirky teen without ever having to inconvenience yourselves by worrying about poverty, or cultural tolerance, it may also be for you: there are hundreds of families just like yours. Parents with advanced degrees, good intentions, NPR tote bags, and family money. In the age of Trump, it could almost sound comforting, maybe. [/quote]

Hmm, this doesn’t represent the TP I know. My friends and neighbors have diverse opinions about the hot button TP issues (the junction, the Coop, the library, whether we should fight to keep the pool at PBES, development at the metro, etc..) and we are all still friends and enjoy spending time together. There certainly are zealots on both sides of all of these issues but they are a small minority. Also, I couldn’t tell you who has a sign in their yard and who doesn’t without walking past their house. Nobody I know cares if you have a sign or not.

FWIW - I do love the expensive Mexican food in TP, don’t do yoga, have relatively unquirky teens and spend a lot of time worrying about poverty and cultural tolerance.
