Highland already has Prost Brewing, on the very edge of LoHi. And this month, it's also scheduled to get Prost Fine Beer and Sausage, an outpost of a Frisco-based restaurant that has no connection to Denver's Prost...except a mile or so of pavement. The two Prosts have agreed to avoid the litigious name game -- but can the new Prost avoid the hipster haters?

Says Barbara:

Ohhh gawwwwd! More hipster douchebags in my neighborhood!

Replies missinlink:

Really? Sausage and beer would be a great counter to all of the hipster taco bars in highlands square, get real.

If Highland can handle sausage and more beer -- not to mention two Prosts that seem determined to get along -- what else could this neighborhood handle? What would you like to see in the area?
