Where have all the bohemians gone?
Richard Florida has made a career out of explaining the economic importance of the creative class. His latest book is a field guide to their moving and mating habits.
By James Hannaham [2008-04-11]

  • Round Holes and Squares

    Well, I guess I fall into Florida's class of folks, yet the article's author has a truly valid point: Why read a book when our "kind" are perfectly capable of discerning where we want to be --and the digital age allows us to set-up shop just about anywhere?

    I lived in San Diego for a good stretch and now I'm in the MidWest, small town Michigan. My work allows me that freedom. I still have all my clients and all my international work. Reverse migration to come to the RustBelt? Fits me fine; 1500 square foot apartment in a historic 19th century colonial, utilities paid, $600/month. Yeah, I like it a lot, but that's me, y'know?

    Opportunities come from unexpected places. Motivated people can find fortuity on their own and adopt what feels right for them.
