Aren't Lake View and Logan Square neighborhoods in Chicago? I think Juliet and Naperville are just the other msa anchors of the study.
IMO now the lower end of Fishtown is were the true hipsters reside now. Northern Liberties is too trendy and getting more expensive. Fishtown is in interesting mix of true blue collar Philadelphians (almost 100% when you get towards Port Richmond), the younger hipster cafe going millennial generation, and the phillyricans.
NoLibs, particularly the Piazza development on the northern edge of that neighborhood, is where frat bros go to live after college in Philadelphia. Most of the younger artists in NE Philly live in Port Richmond and Kensington, but some of the older ones are still in Fishtown.
I wish Bloomberg would tell us where there aren't any hipsters: that's where I'd like to move.
