BOYSTOWN Chicago Voted #1 Gayborhood
#1 !!
The readers of Out Traveler voted Boystown the best gayborhood in the world for 2013, beating out West Hollywood’s Boystown, San Francisco’s The Mission, Madrid’s Chueca and Barcelona’s Eixample.
The neighborhood has everything you could want: bars, clubs, restaurants, architecture, walkability, its own El stop, and now marriage equality.
BRIDEGROOM Screening at Center on Halsted January 12
The MUST SEE movie of the year! Whether your gay, single, partnered or heterosexual – this movie will explain the need for marriage equality!
BRIDEGROOM is a documentary directed by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason that tells the emotional journey of Shane and Tom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship — a relationship that was cut tragically short by a misstep off the side of a roof. The story of what happened after this accidental death– of how people without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized– is poignant, enraging and opens a window onto the issue of marriage equality like no speech or lecture ever will.
HYDRATE bar is Getting a Facelift
Hydrate at 3458 N Halsted St in Boystown will close down Sunday January 5th and begin renovations that should be completed in February.
The plan is to revamp everything from the floors to the bathrooms to sound — including adding chandeliers from the former Ambassador West hotel.
The sound system will also upgraded to Turbosound in hopes of a cleaner, fuller sound. The exterior and interior will see lots of changes to create a more upscale, current feel.
Before shutting down for renovations, Hydrate will host two parties to celebrate.
