this is legit. i saw walker carrying a musket and a stack of beaver pelts on gay street.I'm planning on bartering with the pelts for a 75%-off discount coupon at a local restaurant.
We'll know who to blame if lizless starts putting "Varmint" on her menus.
And to be wary of any new "Dog of the Day" promotions at Dirty Frank's ...

I just finished reading a book written in 1961 about the frontier.

frontier seems like a useful term, remember when Italian village north of 1st was the frontier, seems weinland park still is. I've heard east of Ohio is the frontier. Urban pioneer may be trite, what about homesteaders?
Oooh - Don't say urban homestead. It's copyrighted.
I just might have some urban-caught-'varmint' in the freezer. What does that make me?

It looks like there is quite a bit of backlash against their trademark frenzy. Interesting article and following commentary you had linked.

The Term “Urban Poineer†and Media Portrayals of the City
4 MAY 2011
A reporter from a local radio station recently interviewed me for a story about “urban pioneers.â€Â
I didn’t think much of it, until I started reading this amazing book called Missing Women, Missing News. Turns out, this term is based on some pretty suspect assumptions about cities and the people who inhabit them.

great article and spot on Walker. I think the term is appropriate when you move into an inner city neighborhood, try to fix up your house and keep the crack heads from destroying what you have made nice and put a fence up to keep the criminals from steeling your lawn furniture and then install a security system to keep the thieves from breaking into your house then you qualify as an "urban pioneer" and are living on the frontier - where all your neighbors want to take what you've got! But there are places like this in the burbs and country side too!

You either did not read the article or have no reading comprehension.
You simply reinforce the suburban stereotypes and do NOTHING to help further the neighborhoods you so desperately wish to be associated with.
I'm sending you a blanket w/ smallpox.
