There Goes the Neighborhood?

I saw one of my new neighbors today. He’s a young guy with virtually no furniture. I saw him as he returned home from a beer run (and I was coming home with high-fiber cereal in my backpack).

My building has taking a decidedly younger turn of late. When I moved in, all the other tenants had lived here for some time. I was the newbie, and probably also the youngest. Little by little, nearly all those “old timers” has vacated and young  – or at least young acting – people have taken their places. There is one hold out, and I’m sure she will be here until her end. (No, I’m talking about myself.)

Anyway, I find it interesting, and wonder if this is indicative of a trend in the neighborhood as a whole.
