Here is an article on an area called "Tight Squeeze" in Midtown. It was the center of the largest hippe community in the South. Midtown Atlanta - Atlanta GA Walking Tour
Preview: After the Civil War locals called the area around Tenth Street “Tight Squeeze,” a wooded ravine where the lawless hung out. The narrow road made traveling by wagon difficult. Bandits also hid in the wooded ravine and surrounding forests to rob travelers heading north out of the city. The area became, therefore, a “tight squeeze” for riders trying to pass through with their money and their lives. During the latter part of the nineteenth century, wealthy people built homes in the area. By the 1900s those homes gave way to office and retail business as the commercial district expanded; and during the 1950s and 1960s, the area housed the South’s largest hippiedistrict. But in recent years the area has undergone significant change. In 1999 the Midtown Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Special attractions: The Margaret Mitchell House & Museum, Georgia Institute of Technology, Coca-Cola headquarters, the Varsity restaurant, the Fox Theater, old churches, and other historic buildings.
LMAO! Hipsters =/= Hippies. I think you basically just proved that Atlanta is not the one one of the most hipsters of cities.
At any rate, Brooklyn and Silver Lake (in Los Angeles) would probably be in the two biggest hipster meccas in the country, fallowed by Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and the Bay Area, in no particular order. Atlanta/Athens is big for that scene, but I really wouldn't put it in them on the same level as the cities previously mentioned. It's probably the center of the hipster scene for the Southeast though.
Seriously though...... from the first clip.... the dude wearing the t-shirt, "**** y'all I'm from texas" dancing like a doofus............................................ ...... not so hip.
I guess I'm a hipster..... I own everything from Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth........................ and some Wilco.
