The contents of the Boystown, Chicago page were merged into Lake View, Chicago on 2013-09-19 and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history.
Why is this area named "Boystown"? Any history on that?Simplemines (talk) 04:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It definitely came after 1980. I lived there in the seventies and although it was the gay friendly neighborhood then it was not called that. It was still called "new town", derivative from "old town" at that point. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 00:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
