Since all three groups are regularly discussed on this forum, I thought you all would enjoy this little piece from Chicago Magazine showing where in Chicago each group tends to live. Nothing most of you on here don't already know, but it is fun looking at maps.

I like it! I live where no hipsters or frat boys live. Some very light yuppy coloring though.

Interesting,

Well, I guess based upon which neighborhoods I liked the most, I guess I would go with yuppie over the other two.

Look at the sign vandalism on the No Turn On Red sign in that article, Horrible. That's what sticks out about Wicker Park and Bucktown. I guess you have to just know what the sign is supposed to say. Because if you arent from the states you are SOL.

I'm glad they stayed North of the city for this one. I guess Hyde Park doesn't need a label.

according to wikipedia "On April 8, 1991, Time magazine proclaimed the death of the yuppie in a mock obituary.[17]"

which means... those are zombie yuppies. much worse.

We could simplify that map to just be called "Where White People Live".

If a neighborhood has a lot of sports bars, it get's labeled a "frat boy" enclave.
If a neighborhood has a lot of high-end retail, it gets labeled a "yuppie" enclave.
If a neighborhood has any history of artists living there within the last two decades, it gets labeled a "hipster" enclave.

We all know that the reality on the ground is much more complex than this, and that nearly all north side neighborhoods have a pretty diverse mix of people, even if they are white people.

I saw a zombie yuppie sipping a pena collada at Trader Vics... His hair was perfect.
