Exsqueze me but the correct terminology for that area would be 'Boystown'. Its the 'semi-official' name for that neighborhood. And I'm not being derogatory.
That's what the gays WANT their neighborhood to be called. (buncha sick puppies)
an aside: When Larry Sinclair came out with his charges about Barry being 'that way' I had doubts due to logistics and distance from 'home'. But then I looked up the boundary of Barry's IL Senate District and wha-la, there it was. It went from Hyde Park on the South Side all the way up the lake-front to the Gold Coast on the North Side.
That's a five to seven minute car ride from 'Boystown'. So all he had to do to pull it off (no pun) was tell Michelle he was going up to the Gold Coast to meet a rich donor.
