OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Imagine being so eager to lick the boots of British royalty that you name your town after Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond - then having your clerk misspell it at incorporation. That's peak Lenox energy: desperately aspiring to grandeur while tripping over your own incompetence.
Nothing screams 'working class insecurity' quite like naming your sports teams after the rich tourists who built summer homes here 150 years ago. The kids voted 2-to-1 to drop the name because rival schools mock them for pretending to be wealthy when they're really just the help for Boston Symphony patrons.
Lenox transforms from a sleepy town of 5,000 into a cultural Disneyland every summer when wealthy Bostonians and New Yorkers descend to eat overpriced cheese on manicured lawns while pretending to appreciate classical music. The locals spend the rest of the year serving lattes and bragging about that one time James Taylor waved at them.
The Mount exists as a monument to when Lenox attracted actual literary talent instead of yoga retreats and spa weekends. Now it's just another stop on the 'culture vulture' tour for people who think owning a vacation home in the Berkshires makes them intellectually superior to their suburban neighbors.
