    "Williamsburg is exciting not because of what it *is*, but because of what it is *going to* be, or what it *could* be. Lots of southern passive aggression, but also lots of truly friendly, laid back people. Look for the city to get younger and younger as the "college town" infrastructure continues to expand."
