Three months after I depart Washington, DC, it is now declared to be a "cool city".
"C'mon, man, you sayin' I ain't hip?"

The hip "coolness" may be great for the elites, but where are all the servants going to live?
This is your chance to denounce them as posers and state that you were in DC before it was cool. In fact, the reason you left was because it sold out, went mainstream.
Where do you now live? Oh, it's pretty obscure, you've probably never heard of it.
Haw! Excellent suggestion, Steve.
Rebecca: Well, right now I believe most of them live in Maryland or Virginia. Me, I wouldn't live in Washington on a bet.
Lots of artisan bakeries now? Since our town got one I've noticed lots of dads pushing strollers on weekdays, while mum works. They avoid eye contact, maybe embarrassed but I detect virtue signalling smugness too. Progress, 'change'.
Govsters? Is that short for Government Mobsters?
Those who consider DC to be cool have not felt the salubrious breezes of Southport. Hope they never discover the secret.
Deb: Amen to that.

Heck, where are the robber barons sleeping?

It's amazing what passes for fashion over time; then it's passé and people are wearing something new and trendy and possibly even more ridiculous.
