Hello,

What area (or cross street) on Magazine Street has the largest concentration of restaurants, bars and boutiques.

Does this area have alot of young professionals?

Thank you all for the info.

uptown is where younger artistic types of kids are moving, it's becoming gentrified much to the dismay of the locals but, it's getting really nice.

^ I thought that part of Uptown was always like that. "Gentrified"? What the hell? Nothing much has changed about that part of Uptown.

Default Gentrification

I guess the best way I can describe "gentrified" is when a low-rent, sometimes problematic district gets an influx of interest to clean up and revive it. The improvements can never be disputed (crime usually drops) but there are drawbacks. Suddenly rent spikes into the stratosphere and I've also noticed that a lot of the old character gets washed over. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.

You know how you see old neighborhoods and you think how sad it is that such beautiful/cute/historic houses have fallen into disrepair? Then people start buying and fixing up property b/c they don't want to live out in the suburbs, living there not flipping. That's gentrification, from the word gentry.
