Has your neighborhood become "upscale"?

[Grey Fox]

Like BB, I live in a suburban fortress. It scored 20 points.

[CountDeMoney]

What, the crew at the local McDonald's knowing you by your first name gets no points?  What a shitty test.

[Grinning_Colossus]

15 points for a Mexican bakery.

We're pretty upscale by those standards, though no one would advertise flying in sea food from the East Coast.

No exotic birds or video rental places. Unsurprisingly we don't have an aerobics place either, but it's not '85 any more; we've got enough yoga places though.

[Eddie Teach]

No video rental places.

I'm sure you do, they're just much smaller now. 

[Liep]

94, or there abouts. But I feel I should get extra points for having 3 cycle repair shops and 8 coffee shops within a 100 radius.

Oh and 4-5 shared offices with either skateboards or motorcycles mounted on the walls.

I end up at around 160. But most bakeries offer what's listed there, and most hairdressers here are unisex (only Muslim/Turkish ones are usually male or female only).

... by 1985 San Francisco standards?

I have to go in town, technically another city, to get some of this stuff.  Of course, the names are in french, but it ain't a foreign language here

Not in my immediate neighbourhood. There are a few that are still hanging on, however.

Vesterbro. And 4 cycle shops, I forgot the one in the basement with the atrocious red/yellow fixie outside.

Though, that said given how much bikes are used in Copenhagen, bike shops seem much less upscale than the ones popping up in North American.

[Malthus]

My neigbourhood actually has a video rental place, though they mostly sell cellphones now. Must be the last one in the city. 

One thing missing on that list: a fresh fruit and vegitable store that has a walk-in cooler just for fresh-cut flowers. My neighbourhood has three of these! 

[Barrister]

I can't wrap my head around residential neighborhoods that also have commercial businesses in them.  Crazy!

Mixed use neighbourhoods have been all the rage in these places called "cities" for several millenia now. Crazy stuff, I know.
