Shootin' Buddy: "Wow, this neighborhood's really gentrified. You know how I can tell we're in a Green Zone? All the hair salons."

SB: "Quick! We need a federal program!"

...minute later, pulling into the coffee house parking lot...

Me: "Given how trendy the neighborhood is, I'm surprised at how few bike racks they have. It's like a bike rack desert!"

SB: "Quick! We need a federal program!"
