The Bainbridge Millennials Mystery (BIMM)
February 7th, 2014
Every generation puts its stamp on the American Dream, states Dan Kadlec unequivocally, in his piece Millennials Put Their Surprising Stamp on the American Dream | TIME.com http://business.time.com/2014/02/06/millennials-put-their-surprising-stamp-on-the-american-dream/#ixzz2sgsrimnE
But the current batch of 20-somethings, sometimes called the Millennials, have failed to overtly stamp Bainbridge Island… it would seem.
When you look at demographic data for the island-city there is one generation most notably absent… those born between the years of 1983 and 1994. Look around you next time you are at the movies, on the ferry, in a restaurant – other than the waitstaff, where are the Millennials? Sure, around the holidays you may see them passing through our quaint streets, but where are they and what are they doing the rest of the time?
That is the assignment I have posed to anyone interested in sharing.
Christine St.Pierre, who has come to us by way of the Yes! magazine intern program, has taken up the challenge and you can see her first two posts in this blog.
For the rest rest of you, where are you and what are you doing… on Bainbridge Island?
