Fusion of cypherpunk & urban rave culture first coined in Baltimore, MD ca: 2000 to describe repurposing of 18th C. mill & industrial buildings along Jones Falls as well as other buildings of architectural interest in Charles Village for internet age mixed use. Motto was "Old Buildings with phat pipes" but efforts were halted by collapse of dotcom economy.
When those darn cypherphunks aren't hacking something or playing Doom they're either on their skateboards at the indoor ramp they built in the old mill or throwing a rave there. Darned kids better stay off my lawn!
