Here’s an abridged quiz to ‘discover your true urban style’, found on the back cover of a highly acclaimed book on downtown life: Get Urban! The Complete Guide to City Living by Kyle Ezell, who’s also a speaker (I hope you appreciate the spontaneous plug Kyle).

- Find beauty in hard-core, edgy urban environments.

If you have Garden style, you…

- Regard front porches full of hanging baskets as highly desirable.
- Have historic home revitalization on your list of “must dos.“
