I saw one of most hipsterish people I've ever seen sitting and waiting for a business broadway across from the underconstruction development the mosaic in lower broadway. It blew my mind as I remember that area 10 years ago and it was the last place in the world you'd find hipsters, now, they're making it their home.

It doesn't hurt the pocketbook like other beers. Maybe hipsters are on a budget?

Funny thing is that all the fixie friends I have don't live in Southtown. They either live downtown in apartments that I didn't even know were apartments, or in the areas on the southern and eastern edges of downtown.

Yeah, people always refer to Southtown as "hipster" but in reality it's more aging-post-hippie types who are soccer moms and dads ;-) I see a few typical types here and there, and I suppose moreso than one might see in Stone Oak but it's not as hipsterish as people think. It's not even that edgy anymore.

I have never seen a fixie bike in Southtown either, although I do see "hipsters" scattered around the general area.

So, Tulsa is more hipster than five Texas cities. Good to know.

That's when you know a list is good.

How very cool! Ever since the early 00's my wife's dream is to live in that building on the SW corner of Carolina and S. Presa but leave it just the way it looks on the outside while fixing it up really nice on the inside. Of course we share other fantasies but this was her idea and it was way before we even knew others were actually doing similar.

(:

Of course we were not wanting to gentrify the area since this is already our side of town. Just the idea of lots of space in an old building and not wanting to advertise how really nice it is inside to all the riffraff outside.

One day we might be able to do this and keep it a secret still. If not there then somewhere else on our side of town. Of course my dream is old money, of course you have to be born or marry into that but we do appreciate how they enjoy their privacy without advertising what they have either.
