    Boystown is the epicenter of Chicago's gay life. Its friendly,welcoming and safe.....if you're white. Nonwhites are frequently harassed by the police and discriminated against here at local favorites.

    I LOVE BOYSTOWN! The strip is one of the best places to get great entertainment, shop, eat, dance, drink, you name it! Plus you can always feel right at home here.

    Un lugar muy interesante, buena comida, algo caro así que si eres comprador compulsivo lleva dinero suficiente.
