2 Parts of Town, seen through Bars:

1) A bartender at a newly-opened Italian-ish themed restaurant-bar in the hipster neighborhood told me that he used to work in the city's elite residential neighborhood, and the worst types were the people who'd ask him, "Do you know who I am?".

He once had a pretty famous ex-football player from the city's team ask him that at the club that he managed there, and just to be a dick, he was like, "Wait, weren't you in some band?".

He did say, though, that apart from those people, the rest of the people who lived in that neighborhood were just really normal condo buyers and "salt of the earth".

2) At this vegetarian restaurant (with a bar!) on the far west outskirts of the hipster neighborhood, the 2 (male) and (female) staffers who I was talking with said that they weren't expecting anyone for Mother's Day since everyone's mother lives on in the burbs, but actually all the new hipster mommies got brought in their by their husbands, and all up and down the restaurant were (aging) (white) (hipster) couples in their mid-to-late 30s at every table, next to high chairs with babies in them, all very well-behaved.
