Detroit now worthy of nationwide hipster consideration
Sociologists know that hipsters, that particular breed of 20-something cultural “vanguards,” cannot survive in merely any city. Any healthy and happy hipster needs dive bars that serve PBR, vintage shops, grimy music venues, post-industrial art spaces and other habitat features in order to thrive.
We found this funny picture on Flickr. Detroit is now worthy of a slot on the “Post-Grad Hipster’s Guide to Inhabitable U.S. Cities.” Rejoice! We’re labeled on the map, along with this caption: Detroit “Street Cred; Something vague about hopeful post-apocalyptic gardening,” Michigan.
See which other hipster hangouts made the list.
