This LAist post on "Why does everyone hate hipsters?" and Stuff White People Like pretty much sums Silverlake up for me right now.

I find this whole hipster-hatred thing amusing. Do people really get worked up over whether someone's dyed hair actually "means something"? It is also amusing because among my friends, we all kind of secretly want to be hipsters who are into the cool little indie bands, the ironic t-shirts and also have ginormous trust funds. Maybe it's really the ginormous trust fund part we want.

We went to the Super King Market yesterday - no sign of hipsters anywhere - just a good old-fashioned supermarket catering to mostly Middle Easterners and Latinos. (They had Mexican Coke! Jackpot!) It was huge! And there were so many good deals - 3 pounds of oranges for 99 cents! They looked good, too. The Persian cucumbers for under a dollar a pound! Giant cans of pickled things! It was all so good. I think we will make it our regular grocery store for now. However, if you go there I would stay out of the seafood section. It was kind of gross - the fish were actually graying. They had a sizable deli and even a Hawaiian BBQ counter.

The next thing I need to find is an authentic Asian supermarket nearby that has a live seafood tank in the back.
