I had the boardwalk between the house and the summer cottage replaced, but with twist - literally: both ends of the boardwalk now gently rise up and meet the house’s backdoor and the cottage’s front porch level, so there are no steps anywhere. Also, it’s wider than regular, commercial boardwalks. You could say it’s a boardwalk with accessibility in mind.
My wife who has a disability can now easily go to the cottage and spend some time enjoying the lake and listening to music there without any help.
I fear this “dull men’s club” branding is going to do to the word “dull” something very similar to what the “liminal spaces” branding did to the word “liminal” or what meme communities did to the word “meme.” Your boardwalk is awesome.
Sorry… I figured a boardwalk wasn’t exactly the most exciting thing in the world 🙂
On the other hand, I’m concerned about the use of the word “club” when you haven’t invited us all over for a swim.
But we can keep being loose with the term men … yeah? Cuz best I can do is dude.
Turning a janky old boardwalk into a smooth, gently sloped ramp for accessibility may not be exciting but it is a Good Thing.
It ain’t. But we love it LOL
It’s for things other people find dull. We are here because we don’t.
