That's a bummer. We don't seem to have much of a yuppie scene here in Jacksonville, but we do have a fairly recently developed hipster scene. I went to my favorite whiskey bar a couple months ago and there was a hipster in full costume -- he even had a vintage camera hanging around his neck -- and it was very "Halloween costumish" in how classic hipster it was. It was as if someone had published a hipster style guide pamphlet with photos, and now there are all these guys running around buying exactly the same stuff. He seemed like a really nice guy, he was just trying much too hard to look the part. But at least these guys are generally pleasant, and spend money thereby helping keep some good places open.

Hopefully the former Tai Tiki owner in Columbus opens something else. The new place is confusing - craft bar with 40 beers on tap? I think it would be hard to do both beers and craft cocktails well. Its sad to me when I go to craft bars and see people ordering Bud Light. They just don't know yet what they're missing out on.
