In this article about rising hipster cities of America, my town… Burlington, Vermont… is listed as a contender for the “next Austin”.  One of the reasons listed for Burlington being so hip is because I LIVE HERE.

My friends think this is hilarious.

Baltimore got runner-up:

John Waters, Ira Glass, Frank Zappa, David Byrne (grew up here) and The Wire. It also has that big deal industry city-turnerd bad economy/high crime rate scary place-turned artist haven thing going on (like Detroit and Pittsburgh) that young people love so much.”

Yeah, we got those weirdos, and lots of people dying everyday. Thanks, website.
