Apparently not welcoming enough to lesbians and non-binary. Now to be called "Northalsted."

They've been pushing Northalsted for at least ten years and I don't think it ever caught on beyond the pamphlets in hotel lobbies.

Quote:
Of those survey-takers, 58% favored keeping the Boystown moniker and 20% said they felt unwelcomed by the Boystown name, according to Northalsted Business Alliance spokesperson Jen Gordon.


Whether it's the Electoral College or gayborhoods, DEMOCRACY DOESN'T WORK.

What saddens me most of all is that we had to carve out a neighborhood in the first place instead of just general hanging out. 99% of you guys wouldn't think I was a mo if I didn't tell you. We'd just be hanging out watching a football game like everyone else.

I think its great part of Chicago's patchwork to have identifiable enclaves rather than generic, nondescript neighborhood names

I used to live in Boystown.

I'm pretty sure I could have done pretty well in the mid-90s if I was into it.

It was a great neighborhood, though.

Then canaryville, what about the sparrows? Jays, cardinals and robins.. Birdville seems more apt.

IMHO it was passed by Pilsen a few years ago as being the most fun neighborhood in the Chicago Marathon

All it takes is about 1,500 burrito signatures to change neighborhood name, interesting...

I lived in Wrigleyville around the turn of the century and worked out at the Century City Bally's.

That walk through Boystown did wonders for my ego.

How did it become Boystown anyway? I am a long time Chicago guy. Always knew there were gays on the North Side. What was this particular area though? The bars? The Bijou Theater?
