Williamsburg Is Only the Third Most Hipster Neighborhood In America?
Silver Lake. That’s what. Silver Lake is apparently the hippest neighborhood in the country because this “eclectic enclave boasts some of the nation’s most lauded food trucks and farmer’s markets, a booming arts scene and one of the largest creative class communities in the country.”
Maybe so. But there’s a dark side to Silver Lake too. Assistant Editor and all-around genius Virginia Smith told me of the awful changes that developed when her brother moved to the LA hipster enclave. Smith said, “My brother moved to Silver Lake, and learned about bowler hats. It’s taken a while for the family to undo.” Smith added that she has heard through the grapevine that her brother is considering a move back home. I think this sounds wise.
