creative hotspots

Geographically we often think of places, in certain cities or countries, as being particularly and intrinsically linked to a creative vibe. Los Angeles is a film hotspot, San Francisco is a technology hotspot, or Milan is a fashion hotspot. Those things are limited to those spaces, but one is more likely to encounter others who are pursuing those crafts and with whom the amplification, appreciation, and acclimation of those skills is more likely to encounter kindred spririts.
