Stumbling Upon a Hipster Walkway

The other day, I was out for a walk and stumbled upon a path made out of old slate slabs and gravel. As I strolled along, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “This is the epitome of a hipster walkway.”
The slate slabs were clearly salvaged from some old building, probably an abandoned schoolhouse or a decrepit barn. And the gravel? It was obviously sourced from a local, organic quarry. I mean, it’s not like they just went to Jewson’s and picked up a bag of generic pea gravel. No, this was artisanal gravel, hand-selected and placed with the utmost care.

But the real kicker was the fact that the path was slightly uneven and uncomfortable to walk on. I mean, who needs a smooth, level surface when you can have a treacherous minefield of jagged slate and loose gravel underfoot? Clearly, the creators of this path were going for the “rustic” look, and they definitely achieved it.

As I continued my walk, I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself that this path was the perfect representation of hipsterdom: it was funky, quirky, and just a little bit uncomfortable. And that’s why I love it. So here’s to you, old slate slab and gravel path. You may be rough around the edges, but you’re definitely one-of-a-kind.
