Boston gay scene
Gay Boston
When people from this metropolis tell you where they're from, you're likely to hear people identify the South Finish, Back Bay or any of the dozens of other enclaves as their home. This is a city of sharply defined neighborhoods. Others, not born here, come from all across America and the planet, to live across the river in Cambridge, home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; or to attend one of another 52 institutions of higher education in Metropolitan Boston.
If you're thinking people are proud of the city's almost year history, you're right. Most visitors, even those here for just a daytime or two, fit into their itinerary at least one of the sights they heard about in history class, such as the Old North Church. (Remember the "one if by area, two if by sea" lanterns warning of the command from which the British were coming?)

Boston&#;s gay bars of yore
Which Boston gay bar do you miss the most?
Russ Lopez book, The Hub of the Gay Universe: An LGBTQ History of Boston, Provincetown and Beyond shares how vibrant Boston&#;s gay scene was through the much of the 20th century. After WWII, Boston had more than a dozen gay bars. Those numbers would carry on to proliferate over the coming decades (peaking in the s &#; 90s) alongside other businesses that catered to the local gay community.
Last year Machine / Ramrod closed after a developer purchased the building it was located in to shift the block into residences. And a few weeks ago, I shared that the Boston Eagle has permnantly closed. The deficit of these spaces has reignited the discussion about the slow demise of the gay bar in Boston, and it made me wonder, what homosexual bar from Boston&#;s past do you miss the most?
