Because apparently it is really hard to create differentiation, especially with such broad (i.e., not niche) coverage. We have really good niche coverage of the music scene, the restaurant scene, theater if you dig a little (help me out here), and then there's ThriftyHipster for bars and a little sports/event coverage.</blockquote> Also, looks like <a href="http://thriftyhipster.com/minneapolis/" rel="nofollow">Thrifty Hipster</a> is soon to become <a href="http://www.localhipster.com/" rel="nofollow">Local Hipster</a>. I’ll add in the comment I left at MNspeak:
