Has your neighborhood become "upscale"?

I'm pretty sure Florida had crime before I got here.  Someone was keeping Crockett and Tubbs busy.

My brother married a church girl from the Armpit.  She said running drugs in from mother ships on speed boats was a viable career choice among her peer group.

My town now has a particularly stupid type of hipster shop, it was so much trivia, I can't describe what it sells.   

For a couple of years we've had an Aga shop and recently we've acquired one of those fake Waterstones bookshops, which has so few books for sale it's actually a coffee shop.

Truely we're turning into a little London in the countryside/forest. 

Plus Waterstone's is owned by a Russian closely connected to Putin.

Incidentally, would hipster shops = upscale? I thought that would be a different talent tree, so to speak.

Upscale is both a direction and a place.  So a new bike/coffee shop might move a seedy neighborhood upscale, but not make it upscale.
