Hear that young people of Tucson? Wear those beards and mom jeans with pride.
The journalist at Vocativ took the 50 most populous cities in the country and came up with the top 35 cities for folks 35 and younger. They researched which city had the most coffee shops, vintage clothing stores, music venues and cheapest takeout. They also considered stuff that hipsters need to live, like cheapest pack of cigs, pint of beer and the lowest price for an ounce of primo marijuana.
Of course Portland was number one, and Phoenix out ranked the Old Pueblo. They also mentioned that Tucson’s job market wasn’t as strong as Phoenix’s, but we have less pollution and better public transportation. Hopefully, all the upcoming downtown development, millions of dollars pumped into the convention center and the new hotel coming will change the job situation? This is me trying to stay positive.

yeah but the real honor is in being named among the 50 best cities for hipsters 36 years of age.
Ha, yeah, a convention center should open up lots of high-paying bartender and waitressing jobs.
When did all those things get co-opted by “young” people calling themselves hipsters … used to be in the Moldy Pueblo it was just stuff people liked … a lot.
So, we’re somewhere in the top 70%?
