Bostonia Rantida rants about local fashion crimes, including girly patchwork shorts for guys, Madras shorts, Crocs, long shirts and, naturally, leggings:
... I was in Filene's Basement the other day, browsing racks, when a soft-looking material caught my eye. I touched it. Smooth. Then I lifted it away from the rack to see what it was. IT WAS LEGGINGS! NO! I made an audible "Augh!" noise and backed away, wiping my hand on my skirt. Someone near me chuckled. I went to kitchen goods to find a knife so I could cut off my own hand. ...
Speaking of the soon-to-be-closed forever Basement (really, who thinks it will ever re-open in Downtown Crossing?), Miss M relays a fun story involving a mother and two daughters there that you might not want to have up on the screen at work.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I think it will reopen, in the same location even, but it's just going to be a "regular" Filene's Basement store. (i.e. barely worth going to.) The reason I go to the DTX Basement is because it's a unique, special place, and it's fun to pour over 30 identical shirts spread out over a whole circular rack to find the ONE in your size that's 75% off because you came today instead of yesterday. Sometimes, it's about the journey, not the destination. The original basemnt is about the journey.
