Some girls live to shop...

...but this one lives over a shop!

You might be a downtown diva when...
  • Everybody knows your name when you go into one of the stores.
  • Shopkeepers can jokingly threaten, "I know where you live!" because, well, you live right above them!
  • The bartender knows exactly what you're going to order before you place the order.
  • You avoid the bathrooms at the concert venues and instead dash home where you know the bathroom is clean.
  • You can feel superior to everyone else by "buying local" because the "local" is right below you.
  • You give directions to your place like this: "Just drive to the [insert name here] shop.  Then look up."
  • The proprietress at the art gallery saves some of the new arrivals for you because she knows you can't do without them...and then gives you a discount.
  • You have leftovers after eating out and instead of packing a cooler, you just run them home.
  • You justify high-end purchases by reasoning you at least saved on gas costs. (Hmmm...Thai jewelry from the cute little art gallery?  Well, I didn't drive, so I saved money on gas...yes please!?
  • You determine whether or not you're going out for the night by looking out the window and seeing the crowd that's out.
Downtown divas, unite!  You have nothing to lose but your subdivisions!
