Kids in the ‘burbs

August 27th, 2005

Philip Greenspun asks why Google doesn’t have an office in the Boston area. The thread in his comments took an interesting turn, where one commenter said that children should not grow up in downtown areas.

In response, Philip said:

Excellent point. Kids shouldn’t grow up in downtown areas. I feel sorry for children who live in Penthouses on Fifth Avenue. They are denied the suburban good life as enjoyed by Dawn Wiener in the movie “Welcome to the Dollhouse”.
