Back Bay social club for millennials to become another social club for millennials, but with coworking
By adamg on Mon, 09/23/2019 - 12:35pm
A social club for millennials called Hall at 44 Gloucester St. is selling its space to another social club for millennials called Forum, which says it will transform the space into a daytime coworking spot where people can then mingle into the evening after work without ever leaving the office.
Hall says it is leaving physical space behind to become some sort of app aimed at "enabling organizers and leaders to gather their communities in-person through our software and community systems."
Forum, meanwhile, says it will offer "community coworking when you need to get things done, social club when you want to unwind" to "passionate, intellectually curious, and professionally varied" members.

Kinda like how our boomer
Kinda like how our boomer parents went drinking with their coworkers after work (or during work)? Nice but nothing new.
Except ...
The boomers at least moved the fun times to a bar down the street or something. Well, most of the time, one boomer recalls.
holy cow
The most basic membership is $120 a month... which only allows you to participate in "communal meals" that you have to pay extra for on top of your monthly fee?
the kids want a cafeteria.
That was the one thing that
That was the one thing that mystified me about Hall when they first popped up.
Some of their people were promoting it on a sidewalk in back bay and at first I thought it was an all-you-can-eat buffet for dinner they were proposing. I might have paid $120 or more for something like that.
But no, you pay extra for oneplate of food. I'm still not sure what you are getting by signing up.
You pay for the company. It's
You pay for the company. It's a financial 'filter.'
forget the fee
I cannot imagine having to attempt to make conversation with a bunch of people who paid real money specifically so they could "be interesting" and dominate all the conversations.
cacophony interrupted only when they take selfies.
Fun
All the Chads can complain about their really bad NFL Fantasy teams and receding hair lines & their wives can form marches to protect their $1000 baby strollers which are blocking the sidewalks.
Large strollers: that would
Large strollers: that would be the South End, not Back Bay.
How old are you?
I'm just wondering what version of out of touch makes you think "Chad" is a typical millennial name.
What version of out of touch
What version of out of touch are you that you have entirely missed "Chad" and "Stacey" not as millenial names but as incel tropes used all over the internet?
Chad
Is a name used in a lot of memes describing eactly what they said:

Millennials
A millennial is anyone of working age under 40. We're well past the point where millennials were just kids and college students.
Actual kids, like the ones in high school and college, are younger than millennials at this point.
Yes
The wee ones are called Gen Z.
Not so wee...
Born roughly between 1995 and 2012 the earliest of the Gen Z generation (also known as iGen) have already graduated college and are now entering the workforce. And you know you're old and out of touch if you are referring to anyone under 40 as "Millennials".
I don't know anyone over 30
I don't know anyone over 30 who gives a damn what the specific age range of a Millennial or Gen Z may be... but thanks for clearing it up for us 'elderly.'
Since the new Algonquin Club is now aimed at 20-something membership, how about getting rid of those valet spots in front of the building and turning them into metered or residential spots. You kids can learn to take public transportation, walk or ride a bike.
One of your best headlines!
Perfect, Adam. Perfect.
