Uptown fucking blows. I hate that all my friends want to hang out there. The parking sucks in that it either doesn't exist or you pay out the ass, the people there are pretty much exactly as described...it's like a shitty version of Austin. Except for Gui, Crimson Pho...maybe the Idle Rich...I'd never go.
I'm in the Village for now, and it's not too bad. Ive never had to complain about parking. Only complaint is it's old and a little pricey for what it is, but till I'm done with law school it will work.
