==21st-century revival== [[Image:Panel switch district selector frame.jpg|thumb|upright| Panel switch district selector frame at the [[Connections Museum]] in Georgetown]] Georgetown has had a certain degree of a "scene" since the 1990s. In 2001, Industrial Coffee and Stellar Pizza were both hosting live musical performances. The former folded, and the latter stopped hosting shows and changed its name to Stellar Pizza. Since that time, however, quite a few new bars and coffeehouses have opened in the neighborhood, plus a record store, a beer store, a barber shop, a circus school (SANCA), a bakery, a scooter shop, a "skin sanctuary" ([[waxing]] salon), a web design company, and an art gallery/recording studio. Laura Cassidy of the ''[[Seattle Weekly]]'' described the prevailing aesthetic: "Creatively employing the open, airy brick-walled spaces left behind by industry and manufacturing, and augmenting them with local art and 20th-century detritus, Georgetown's merchants consistently fashion warm, imaginative interiors: places you want to visit and never want to leave. Just walking through the streets you witness post-squat, industrial bohemian chic."<ref>Adriana Grant, [http://www.seattleweekly.com/arts/0643/georgetownnightlife.php "Nightlife: Airport Way South.
