You might have noticed that PT has a lot of coverage of urban neighbourhoods in coastal cities – Vancouver, of course, and our American contemporaries in places like Portland, San Francisco and New York. Well, there are places in between – as documented by Pantheos:
Unofficial guide to “hip(ster)hoods” of the Rust Belt
.
.
… there are a number of neighborhoods in cities across the country that have become what I term “hiphoods.” Some of the best know ones are Wicker Park in Chicago, Williamsburg in Brooklyn, theMission District in San Francisco, North Williams Avenue in Portland, and Silver Lake in L.A. Despite the media concentrating on the larger, more well-known hipster neighborhoods, many smaller and mid-sized urban centers have hipster neighborhoods in them, only they don’t get as much press. …
In an attempt to identify as many hipster havens as possible in the Rust Belt, a number of resources were utilized, including social and traditional media, internet websites, and blogs from around the region and country, Here’s the list of hip(ster)hoods for a number of Rust Belt cities.
