Last month the website PolicyMic posted an article entitled "If you Can't Stand Hipsters, These 11 Cities Are For You." Ostensibly this is a mashup of data about toughness from crime rates to professional athletes and blue collar workers- and Pensacola ranked #1.

While I salute our ranking based on honored military service and exemplary athletes I would like to also offer a counterpoint of 11 ways that Pensacola is ideal for hipsters: and why we need them.

Hipsters take note, Pensacola can accommodate you- and we should. Every city, even and especially America's oldest, needs to be challenged and reinvigorated by each succeeding generation. If a portion of them are "hipsters"- welcome.

Sorry Akil but, "all of America is covered with sprinkles and hipsters."

What would you add to this list?
