It's a cool place to live agreed. But as you mention with so many white folks, maybe pretentious isn't the right word, maybe some sort of "soul" or individual character....I could empathize with the difficulty in finding women to date around there. If your a pawger then it is heaven, but since you're not and neither am I it is very much "dry"...and the few sistas I have seen around there have given off strong

energy as you have probably seen when you're shopping in the Metro or around there..
Gloryhole is gone but there are two spots east and west of where Gloryhole was that got gourmet donuts. Pretty good actually.
