Not one person I know that's livin' la vida local is above middle class. Most of us (the ones I know, that is) are low-middle. I'm both annoyed and kinda psyched that local is catching on in a big way. But ya know what? This wider trend (I'm afraid) will pass, and in 15 years or so we'll see these newer converts offending my olfactory boundaries with their Giorgio and sporting big bangs. The male "popped" collar's already back, after all. (Now, get off my lawn.)
