downtown la has seen its ups and downs from its golden age to its economic decline following world
war ii since the dawn of the 20th century though the downtown area has prospered as la's main
business district and a hipster's paradise in 2013 the times cited downtown as a neighborhood with
an increasingly hip and well-heeled residential population now you know that a neighborhood has
achieved chic status when the opening of a whole foods market makes headlines the area's voguish
nature is also reflected through the avant-garde dining shops and architecture for all the newer
editions downtown la has preserved many of its historic landmarks like the orpheum theatre
the angels flight railway and the grand central market fremont's east entertainment district las
vegas nevada the coolest neighborhoods are often the ones that break the rules and no
city in the u.s embraces rule breaking more than las vegas while there's no shortage of hip spots
to choose from the fremont east entertainment district is the downtown area's beating heart
the neighborhood's neon lights fit the vegas aesthetic but the neighborhood possesses a retro
sentiment that sets it apart from other parts of the city that's only appropriate as fremont
street was vegas's first paved road exploring the entertainment district's comedy clubs bars
and casinos can feel like stepping into a time machine there are more modern amenities though
like the fremont street experience on the whole it's six blocks of nostalgia and good vibes

little five points atlanta georgia
austin boston massachusetts

and bohemian culture ride your bike down the williamsburg bridge everything about this
neighborhood simply screams hipster central from the graffiti to the indie music to the
experimental food for entertainment you can check out an our house picture at the local cinema or an
offbeat live show that you won't find on broadway if central park is a bit too mainstream for you
