Northalsted (formerly Boystown, but its nickname was recently changed in the spirit of greater inclusiveness) is supposedly the oldest officially recognized gay neighborhood in the U.S. It's loaded with LGBTQ owned businesses, gay bars, and fun places to shop. If you decide to come this far north, I think you'd enjoy it.
