The Creative Class

I really enjoyed reading Florida's article on the Creative Class. I agree with his theories one hundred percent. Strangly enough I notice the creative class mostly in the restaurant industry. After serving for three years, I can pick out a city person from a suburbanite accurately. I can also guess what an individual will choose off the menu. After moving to Chicago I have realized a consistency among the inhabitants of the city. People who live in the city dress, talk, and walk differently then those individuals living in the burbs. It was an adjustment for me since I was used to the way of the suburbs after living there all of my life. Living in Chicago changes people dramatically. I feel I have changed a lot as well. I may not be an asiring rock superstar, an artist or a homosexual but I understand the importance of this group in a city. These individuals bring about excitement, entertainment and livelihood to cities all over the world. I feel I have conformed right into the creative class and it makes me appreciate the uniqueness among others.
