  1. What is it about New York City that attracts all of the hipsters?

    What is it about New York City that makes the hipsters feel that this is the place they need to be?

    Why cant they just rep the 1970s and the 1980s back in the midwestern cities they were bron and raised in?

  2. “We have to make absolutely sure that New York continues to draw and hold the world’s best and most ambitious strivers so we will continue to be the bastion of innovation,” Bloomberg said.

  3. Hipsters ??!! What makes some hillbillie from the midwest hip ? These kids try way too hard to be "New Yorkers" that they just end up looking like idiots.
    My advice to the hipsters: Give up and go home.
