NYC Chelsea 3622

As much of gay life got priced out of the West Village, it moved north to Chelsea, which is about 20 blocks north. Chelsea, though, then also became upscale and so much of gay life has moved out of it as well. (When will we ever learn to not fix our neighborhoods up so much that non-gays move in, the values go up, and it becomes unaffordable for working gays?)

Despite the shift in scale for Chelsea, in 2007 there was a very affordable and nice bed and breakfast in the area. It was on this block of 23rd (see the rainbow flags).

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