Given track record, it really should be the other way around!

Odd list. The West Loop in Chicago is a yuppie area and has been for a while now. Not hipster at all.

That puzzled me too. Bend is city not a neighborhood. It might have some emerging hipster neighborhoods, but there are also many yuppies and retirees as well.

It's also a very popular vacation spot.

Same for Lowertown in Saint Paul. It's far too upscale and high-priced for hipsters and Millennials.

O4W in Atlanta becoming hipster? That place has been hipster nirvana for a long time now.

I know. I mean, the West Loop is pretty yuppie - it's not like Lincoln Park - it's cooler with some art stuff going on and better food BUT it's not hipster. Lot of expensive condos in that area too. No mention of Pilsen, Logan Square, Avondale, etc - this article is funny. Logan Square around the California Blue Line stop has come on strong in the last year in that regard (though it's gentrifying at the same time).

Though sometimes I feel like I'm not mustachioed and bow-tied enough to disembark along that section of the blue line.

Yeah, Shaw is definitely not a hipster neighborhood. Yuppies though? It's got that in spades.

Hah - still some good non hipster stuff around there. This place is a cool setting - great outdoor space:
Masada - Middle Eastern - Logan Square - Chicago, IL - Reviews - Photos - Yelp
