Boston 3561

Fort Hill had been a fairly densely populated area at one point, but many of the houses had burned. When I was in Boston in the 70's, a number of my friends lived in a commune of gay men that had two of the remaining houses on the hill -- the commune was called "The Fort Hill Faggots."

Fort Hill again seemed to be fairly densely populated when I visited in 2007, with a combination of relatively newer apartments, public housing, and reconstructed older mansions.

Makes most sense if viewed as part of Coming Out/Northeast set
