Urbane Times

ur·bane [ur-beyn] adjective

1. having the polish and suavity regarded as characteristic of sophisticated social life in major cities: an urbane manner.

In a dumbed down world, this is the place to exercise the intellect, stretch the imagination, and nimblify the neurons. The place to strut your mental stuff as you fill up your knowledge tanks with everything from gangs to gangrene, science to sushi, and cosmology to corporate psychology (joke). In short, and quite seriously, if you have an enquiring mind (for more than celebrity gossip) then this is your place.
