Yesterday boston.com published several renderings of the new global headquarters GE is building and will move into in 2017/2018. The two existing brick buildings that originally housed the NECCO candy company will soon be home to 800+ employees. More renderings of the new headquarters are here.

The Boston Globe also reported that GE’s upcoming complex will house a waterfront dining spot that could have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Gay Men Camping group

Posted on August 2, 2016 | 7 comments

Boston gay men campingI love Meetup.com, it is a great way to help people connect in a city like Boston where it can be hard to meet people with similar interests.  Although I am most definitely not a camper, Meetup.com had suggested this Gay Men’s group and I thought I’d share for all of you who like to commune with nature.

The group has a camping trip scheduled for later this month in Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, MA on Friday, August 26th. If you cannot make that date, be sure to like the group (see the link below) to get updates on future trips.

Gay Men Camping GayMenCamping.com

The group is described as “New England Gay Men Camping is a social outdoor adventure group for gay men only.  For all active gay male singles, couples and friends who appreciate nature, love hiking, enjoy backpacking, have a passion for exploring and can do without wi-fi and a blow dryer for a weekend. In some cases, no electricity or water. Can you handle it?”

While I don’t need a blow dryer, the idea of no electricity makes me queasy but I’m betting there are a few of you who may like this and want to check it out.

Meanwhile at M Street Beach this week

Posted on August 1, 2016 | Leave a comment

gays in southie, Kiki BeachLoving this Instagram clip from M Street Beach this past weekend. I couldn’t seem to post the video successfully so you can link here to see it.

In case you missed it, each Saturday a lot of guys are spending their Saturdays near the midpoint of M Street Beach. Between the throngs of bros and the women they are vainly trying to impress is a sea of gays that is most easily found by following the disco music.

Sound like fun? Read more about Saturdays at M Street Beach, Boston.

Newbury Street becomes pedestrian walk way on Sunday, Aug 7

Posted on July 31, 2016 | Leave a comment

Boston, Back BayNext Sunday (August 7) the city plans to shut down Newbury Street to traffic for one day only, offering a pedestrian-friendly street free of traffic from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The idea is being borrowed from other pedestrian-friendly cities like Paris where the Champs-Élysées is now closed one day per month to cars.

The city is promoting the event using the hashtag #OpenNewbury on Twitter.

Visiting Portugal

Posted on July 31, 2016 | 4 comments

Portugal, Lisbon, gay travel, travel, EuropOne month from today Sergio and I will board a plane to visit Portugal. Despite all our travels and the fact that Sergio speaks Portuguese fluently, we’ve never visited the country. This will be a brief trip, spending just a few days in the north in Porto followed by four days in Lisbon where we plan to possibly do a day trip or two – time permitting.

Based on stories from friends and the photos I have seen I am assuming we will love Portugal and want to return, but for now I’m getting excited – counting down the days. If you’ve been to Porto or Lisbon and have some suggestions you think Sergio and I would enjoy, please feel free to contact me directly or leave the tips in my blog’s comment section.
