"The Hottest `Hood."

That's how the blazing headline of Friday's Philadelphia Daily News referred to my neighborhood, a section of Center City the paper has begun calling Chestnut East, while noting others call it East of Broad or B3, for "Blocks Below Broad." (The latter designation doesn't make sense since Broad Street runs on a north-south axis; perhaps it's "Blocks Beside Broad"?)

Yep. That's me. Urban hipster.
