9. As cities have become more gentrified, suburbs have grown more vibrant.
My suburb us culturally diverse and fun. There are things here you used to really only find downtown or very close to downtown - great ethnic restaurants, a hip barber shop, small artist galleries, resale shops, a rare books and records store and a couple of friendly bars. We also have roadside barbecue stands and a cupcake truck, among others. There is a sense of community and people go out of their way to support local businesses. The population here skews pretty young. I always notice that the population downtown is mostly baby-boomer age and older, which wasn't the case when I was staying in a warehouse downtown before it became gentrified.
