The Epitome of What Everybody Is Talking About

Visiting San Francisco for even 24 hours it was impossible not to notice the tension in the city caused by the current tech "gold rush" (source).

1:AM "Street Art Boutique" in SOMA caught my eye as a rich oxymoron. Catering to the high-salaried tech world to do corporate team building graffiti classes, one thing's for sure, they've got a good hustle.

In the Bay Area's defense, at least the tension exists. The dialogue is raging.

This page in the SF Weekly was left open on the counter of a SOMA cafe where more than one start-up partnership was being forged at the same time.
It reminded me of the classic cyclical SF debate: who's calling who a hipster? If everyone is calling each other out, maybe it's time to all take some responsibility.
