I'm just getting around to reading yesterday's NY Times, in which there's an article in the travel section about barhopping and clubbing in Friedrichshain, "on the Edge". I really thought F'hain was not much of a hotspot anymore, at least not to anyone but annoying tourists. It's not "increasingly hip," is it? What about all that talk of lopsided development in which no new businesses open except bars, and rent prices continue to skyrocket in spite of the fact that there's no place to go grocery shopping? These kind of badly-informed write-ups irritate me (mostly because I'm not there to see for myself).

Nope.
It's just slightly less expensive than any other Berlin neighborhood. You are justifiably irritated, fellow blogger. These goofy, "in-the-know" write-ups by journalists in town for the weekend are not to be tolerated.
