"Another World"

LAst week I blogged about oneof the communities I was a part of! I really didnt have to research much about it because I have lived there for some time! But the last time we were in class some of my classmates and proff open my mind to other communities in chicago that I have been interested in!

         This summer, my friends and I named ourselves outgoing and adventrous chicks of the night! Were usually really boring and conservative for the most part lol. We were tired of being "lame" because we were stomped with school work and being tired from our jobs, So one weekend in July we alll went somewhere we knew would be fun..."BOYSTOWN!" We always heard about the community and heard how fun the nightlife was/ Boystown is a district within the LAkeview and Wrigleyviller neighborhoods. It was the first gayncomunities regonized in the United States. It's also one of the largest (LGBT) Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender communities in the nation! Boystown is known for its colorful, party moghtlife. Most bars close at 3a.m. on weekdays and 5a.m. on weekends. Lying on the North Halsted st, its much like the strip of Vegas on weekends. "You never know what your gonna get." Every business has  a pride flag hanging blissfully, and proudly in the eenter of the window or outside the business. These pillars often represent the many respectable gay-owned and operated venues on the neighnorhood. This community is intresting on so many different levels. Every where in June, "The Pride Parade" brings together thousands to encounter and experience whath the LGBT community experiences ina day to day basis. This summer was awesome! An experience I'll never forget!
