Rumors suggest Paradise in Cambridge will close in September

This weekend I was contacted and told that the gay nightclub, Paradise, located at 180 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge will close later this month to accommodate Novartis Pharmaceuticals expansion plans, which recently bought the space for $1.75 million

I have not been able to confirm the closing date, but for several years there has been talk that Paradise (one of only a handful of gay nightclubs remaining in Boston) would eventually close due to Novartis inevitable expansion.

Anyone with more information, please contact me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend

Although the heatwave that had most of New England sweltering through much of the week is no longer here and the forecast is for rain, I want to wish everyone a fun-filled long holiday weekend. Summer is Boston’s briefest season and I will miss it. I had a wonderful summer with friends and family this year.

Furry Friday

handsome, hunk, hairy chestI’m not saying I would do this now, but there was a point in my life where I would’ve seriously considered tapping his bumper (so to speak) so we’d have to exchange phone numbers for our insurance adjusters to connect.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

The R-rated riddles I shared earlier this summer proved to be really popular. I couldn’t help but chuckle each time Blobby left a comment so here is another riddle which sounds a lot more adult than the answer I’m actually looking for.

This week’s brain teaser:  What is typically 6 inches long, you like to put in your mouth even though it can sometimes make you gag.

Vintage gay

handsome black coupleI believe I may have previously posted this photo before but it is so adorable and it is so hard to find good photos of Black and African American same sex couples from the first half of the last century that I decided to re-post it when I stumbled upon the photo shared with me on Pintrest.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

For a friend…

Sometimes I use my blog as a way to express my sentiments to those who need to hear it.  So like the song says, “Sail on silver girl…” and heal my friend.

Sesame Street: How they became Bert & Ernie

America’s most famous gay couple share a rap about how they met and became “roommates” to the melody of Will Smith’s theme song The Prince of Bel Air. It was too cute not to share for all of you fans of  Sesame Street.

This week on Instagram: timscapes

Tim Convery, ptown, provincetownAnyone who has been to Provincetown has certainly seen one of Tim’s designs. Not only does he have a great retail store on Commercial Street, but his pictures and merchandise are everywhere you look in this tiny town.

Visitors to our home will find one of his designs on our walls and recently Sergio decided to join in on a contest Tim is holding so I thought I’d combine two things I love with this week’s featured Instagram account.

Caption this photo

Suddenly it makes senseThis week is my 200th “Caption this photo” post so I thought I would go back in time to one of the very first photos I shared. This is also one of the most popular posts if you look at the number of comments from when this was first shared back in January 2015.

Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below inspires you to offer up a caption or two of your own. Leave a witty or funny caption as a comment for this post, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.

gay pulp  fictionPublished in 1970 I can only imagine this gay pulp fiction novel must’ve been a real page turner (I’m joking BTW).

Trident Booksellers & Cafe has reopened

boston, independent bookstoreQuite possibly my favorite bookstore (certainly my favorite bookstore in Boston), Trident Booksellers and Cafe, was forced to close temporarily after a fire broke out in late February, but last week the bookstore reopened after undergoing extensive renovations.

The Trident’s cafe / restaurant was a favorite location of mine when I lived in the Back Bay so even if you’re not much of a reader you can go enjoy some food then check out their monster magazine rack or purchase a few funny cards. Keep in mind, the Trident now has daily entertainment / programming every evening so there really is never a bad time to stop by and see the newly renovated space.

While I’ve yet to have a chance to visit the bookstore I wanted to help get word out and encourage everyone to visit the Trident on Newbury Street between Hereford Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

Show this local business some love.
