Dene

Outro near the port

This is pronounced de-nee or de-nay; whichever sounds posher to the speaker. Once a poorer part of town, it's been 'gentrified' (think Soho [both London and Manhattan]) and the poets and punks that lived there are being priced out by the trendy shops and clubs. Yep, it's another one of those neighbourhoods. Contrasted with Old Quarry, Dene is much further along in the hipsterification process. Dene is becoming more of a nouveau riche neighbourhood (shops and homes) and retains its center-of-fashion label in Citadel. It's just that the lower-class creative types have been replaced by market-savy middle-class types.
