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.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

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.
