Which market to research?

Hello all. I am curious of other people's experiences in examing new potential markets, and how you may have arrived at those particular locations. What are the things that draw you to particular markets and what are you looking for in those markets? A friend once told me he looks for small curbside tables. Meaning when he sees restaurants either popping up or converting putting out small tables, turning into sidewalk cafes, he starts buying. He sees this as an up and coming market. I found this to be interesting and so far his theory for the last 20 years has been correct. What do you look for and where? I would think new schools would be a great indicator.
