It was already hip from unique businesses locating there over decades. Same thing with Adams Morgan and Georgetown. Look at Tysons Corner and National Harbor. Two relatively new developments yet, both are not in the hip category. Though NH is heading in the right direction. Look at College Park. It should be a given that College Park would be hip. Yet it is being left behind by Arts District Hyattsville in hipness. So not every city can hit that mark of being hip. And throwing a bunch of bars in an area is not going to get you there. It will be interesting to see how Montgomery County and Silver Spring can create a hip place from paper to reality. Perhaps College Park can take some lessons from the study. It has the demographics to be hip. But, it is squandering the opportunities.
Completely agree with you. Maryland's "flagship" university is a total flop as a college town.
