It's pretty sad, I think, 'cause the notion of gay community is disappearing in a real sense. The same kind of thing happened to the Eagle and Spike (not to mention others) in NYC (Chelsea). Rather than keep one of the oldest bars in the country going, the owners sold out to condos.

Napoleon Club is a perfect example of what's happened. It's just not as viable to have a club anymore with people hooking up through other means and with the costs associated with operating a club in an expensive city ever escalating. What's happened to Boston gay nightlife is what's happened to NYC gay nightlife: the Internet and - just as importantly - property values, property values, property values!!!

I've been away from this thread and it has evolved interestingly. What the hell happend to Boston nightlife? It use to be so much more fun. Get a time a machine and go back to the 1990's.
