Conclusion:
A hipster is just a Brooklynite who wishes they were from Minnesota because it’s “more real,” while genuine Minnesotans are exempt from the label.

CC Tap and Dependable Auto, 1961

Lyndale Avenue South and 26th Street.  The CC Tap is now know as the CC Club, which has many songs about it or that name-check it (“Here Comes a Regular” by The Replacements, “Aspiring Sociopath” by Atmosphere,  ”Better Open the Door” by Motion City Soundtrack, etc.)

Dependable Auto is now French Meadow Bakery. Photo courtesy of the Minnesota Historical Society.

Heavy Table’s Andy Sturdevant illustrates all of the great eats on 38th Street. Love this!
