Montréal is celebrating Gay Pride this week. Pride celebrations culminate this weekend with the Gay Pride Parade (sponsored by Viagra – how awesome is that?) on Sunday, August 16 at 1PM and their “Mega T-Dance” closing party.
Will you be heading to Montréal for Pride celebrations? If so, enjoy and have a wonderful weekend. Download Fierté Montréal 2015 Pride Program.

Last week the Boston Redevelopment Authority released a new report, Boston in Context, which looks at the demographics of Boston’s neighborhoods. My post is largely based upon Boston Magazine’s article about the BRA study entitled Data Shows Who Lives Where in Boston.
Youngest neighborhood: The Longwood Medical area has the youngest median resident age of 20.7 years old; followed by Fenway and Allston.
Most baby boomers: 18% of West Roxbury has a 65+ population.
Greatest population growth: No surprise here that South Boston Waterfront, grew a whopping 271.1% between 2000 and 2010.
Most educated residents: Beacon Hill, where 88.7% of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Most likely to rent: Chinatown, where 93.3% of residents rent.
Wealthiest: Back Bay where the per capita income is $88,419.77
A couple weeks ago I noted that I really like following the handsome Pittsburgh couple Justin and Nick on Instagram. I also enjoy following model Max Emerson who I’ve featured in the past. If you are on Instagram, I’d like to make a plug for my own account, @bosguyblog as well as suggesting Max’s account @Maxisms.

I’ll get you started with a possible caption that hopefully inspires you to share a few of your own in the comments section below.
Where did you put that bar of soap?

Little more than a week after The Boston Globe told us that the Hancock Tower would now be called 200 Clarendon, the same newspaper reports that Manulife Financial Corp which owns John Hancock intends to add a third high-rise to the Back Bay skyline. The proposed building would replace an existing 9-story building at 380 Stuart Street with a new 26-story building with a distinctive curved glass facade.

This evening Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka are performing two shows in Provincetown. My friend Alan posted this picture of them posing with him in front of Cafe Heaven earlier today.
