London neighborhoods
The better part of the last couple of days has been consumed by looking around a few neighborhoods to see where we might like to live. So far, I toured Bethnal Green and Camden. These are two neighborhoods with some different feels. Bethnal Green may be, as the sign says ...
... but feels a bit like the Chicago neighborhoods off Broadway, like Lakeview--shabby looking merchants doing a brisk business despite their apperances--with a little taste of Canal Street in New York ...
... without the counterfeit Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
Camden has the flavor of Georgetown if you turned all the Venice Beach hucksters loose inside ...
... but has a pub that brags about its jukebox in a unique fashion ...
(Eighth best?)
It has some very cute neighborhoods ...
My endurance wore out by the time I'd reached Tufnell Park, but not before I got this quaint scene ...

Ooh! Camden looks Berkeleyesque. You might really like it there. I always thought you liked the Venice Beach merchants! I also think it would be a worthy quest to hear jukeboxes 1-7.
CHB, I would have called it Adams Morgany, except no restaurants.
Forgot to mention the market that seemed to cater to goths, punks, vintage freaks and hipster doofuses.
Hipster doofus's! We'd fit right in!
I'm a hipster doofus, too. I think it might run in the family.
