I've been to South Riding once in the last 20 years.

I've been in Alexandria's City Hall, built in 1871 on the site used for City Halls for decades before then, I think four times in the last 8 months.

Craft beer? Seriously man? Staunton has FIVE microbreweries. Alexandria has two (a third if you count a chain brew pub that will be history with redevelopment), and has six times the population.

Did I say there weren't hipsters in Staunton? It's Charlottesville spillover. There are like 50 microbreweries on Afton Mountain. Craft brew is dead. Real hipsters are making spirits these days.

Um, NoVA has one, too. What weird tit-for-tat point are you trying to make?

then how is liking craft beer a sign of being a hipster?

also I am quite sure only a very very tiny minority of people in NoVa are distilling their own spirits.

Ergo, not many hipsters in NoVa. QED.

NOVA is not a city. If I use your logic, Staunton has several of them. I get to claim Jefferson and Madison as well.

Im sure there are a few home distillers in NoVa.

You've indicated one reason you dislike NoVa is all the hipsters.

So hipsters distill their own spirits.

A few people in NoVa distill there own spirits, I guess (it is after all a big place though smaller than the 6 million people in greater DC)

So its important to you to be away from that handful of people.

Hmmm. You do you, I guess.

Nah scro. It's important I stay away from 6 million people in general. DC is crowded, and it's depressing paying $800,000 to hear your neighbors through the walls. But you do you.
