In fact, even if Chicago isn’t my #1 city on the list I’ve lived in, Andersonville is probably my favorite specific neighborhood. I used to call it “Boystown, without as much coke.” Andersonville as a neighborhood is one of the most wonderful neighborhoods in which I’ve had the pleasure of living.
The area used to be known as Lesbianville, but by the time I moved to Chicago it was essentially Boystown 2.0. But right above Boystown is a cute little neighborhood called Andersonville.
From London I made my way to Chicago which, much like Philly, has a specially designated and titled gay neighborhood called, Boystown.
