I do think the definitions are changing, and even since we moved back here from NYC in 1994. it's my sense that St. Matthews inside-the-Watterson) has become more of a piece with the urban area. I think the growing restaurant and club scene there, recently discussed in another thread, fits in with that. As a prewar and immediately postwar suburb, most of its neighborhoods are 60 years old now - some considerably older, all well before the age of the "McMansion."
