Oh god. Maybe it's time to consider moving off of Capitol Hill.

I must be extremely unhip, as I recently moved from #5 to #36. So sad.

I absolutely adore that the list has "hip" in scare quotes. And the one that does the same for "artsy."

Think people might be talking about Capitol Hill's child bearing hips. But, hey!, we have a neighborhood unspun list too -- the 15th/19th Ave Biz Rankings list We find that most of the time you can't actually log in to vote on the rankings, however. But apparently somebody in our 'hood who really, really likes the Holiday Craft Shop has been able to get in. Thank goodness. Oh, and how about this 'Seattleist' site on the Best Seattle Blogs list Love those guys!

Beacon Hill gets my half-assed-interrobanged question because even their local blogger has to ask "What's to like?" But if the gays are moving in, then I'm sure it's on the way up.

I'm amused, but not surprised, that Wedgwood is considered so deeply un-hip. I am surprised that Green Lake is #8. I grew up in Green Lake, I live in Green Lake, and I can't think of a single hip thing about it. Or are lakes just inherently hip?

Beacon Hill makes the cut because that's where all the gays are now buying houses (and gay = hip). Plus there's the forthcoming, eagerly-anticipated light rail.
