what a gorgeous city that has gone down the tubes. boystown use to be one of the best gay meccas of our country. now from my friends that still live in chicago its relegated to a glimpse of its prior self. if you do go there and park a car, make sure you move your car if on halsted street by midnight else get your car towed and a $300 tow fee and fine. so go out on a saturday night to relax... get there by 10:30 and 90 minutes later stop everything and move your car... to where? all done due to the "rights" of the hoodlums and drug dealers coming in and causing trouble. so instead of going after the problem, go after and penalize the people spending the money there and potentially harming the businesses. while at the same time raising the taxes on those said businesses. seems very common in many of our once beautiful cities. relegated to dump heaps. sad...very very sad.

Visiting Chicago this weekend and planning on seeing one of these three — into fit/dominant tops, kissing, etc. Any recent experiences with any of them?

https://rent.men/rwfh

https://rent.men/Alexanderxx

https://rent.men/LeoFireXL

 

Curious... You list five guys, but say you're planning on seeing one of "these three"?

 

Unfortunately, I've only worked with one of the guys listed and I'm not sure he made your top three. Still, Drakex fits the bill for what you're after (fit/dominant top, kissing, etc.).

 

For people I haven't had sex with, rwfh and LeoFireXL are wayyyy my type. Sorry I can't be of more help than lusting after them. ?

Another victory for the PC mob...

 

“Chicago's Boystown neighborhood officially changed its name this week to Northalsted for marketing and city designation purposes. The Northalsted Business Alliance conducted a survey after being questioned if the former name supported "a message of diversity and inclusivity, or if it reinforced bias and discrimination." According to the survey, 58% of people were satisfied with the name "Boystown," but the chamber of commerce decided it was not enough to keep the community title.“ - NBC5

A few thoughts as a current Chicagoan. First, if I were hiring now LeoFireXL would be top of list. He's either new here or visiting. Great pics, and interesting comments in the reviews. I'm enjoying this hobby vicariously through the experiences of others now, so would love to hear more about him. Keep us posted.

 

As for Chicago in general, yes we're going though a messy, scary time of change. But there are good things coming out of it, one of them being deepening camaraderie between activists for gay rights and the protestors against racism. Gay activists have been paving the way for social change here for 50+ years. Growing the Pride parade from a fringe group to a celebrated city holiday. Developing Boystown from a neighborhood where the Guardian Angels used to have to patrol to keep us from getting beat up on our way home from bars to a place where lots of people want to live now because its so interesting, prosperous and welcoming. The first black mayor, Harold Washington, who broke the political machine, wouldn't have gotten elected but for support from the gay community. And now our mayor is a tough as nails black lesbian & former prosecutor who, though she's made some mistakes, relentlessly stands up to the a**hole in the White House, has kept our Covid rate steadily down, and is uniquely able to navigate the tensions between police and protestors, both of whom she vocally supports. Plus a huge drag on this progress for gays in Chicago has been continued homophobia in the black community, so Mayor Lightfoot is just the right person for the messy times now IMHO.

 

Finally, about the Boystown name change -- one of Chicago's deepest, most entrenched problems is the continued segregation of our neighborhoods. It affects quality of schools, access to healthcare and food, risk of getting shot in the streets, even average lifespan overall. Boystown isn't just a gay ghetto anymore, its an economic engine in the city. So maybe the name change is a sign of progress? I just wish they 'd have come up with something more clever than "Northhalsted," which sounds like the least common denominator of some committee process. But the tagline is going to be "Chicago's Proudest Neighborhood" -- that I like and captures the current spirit of the place and the history of gay influence in the city I think.

 

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Someone please hire LeoFireXL -- preferably as a bottom :p -- and let us know how it goes!!!

Btw, another guy I can recommend in Chicago now is Mathianis: https://rentmen.eu/mathianis/#platinum Have seen him 3 times, two really strong performances, one not so much (think he'd been partying). He's built and beautiful.

 

Have also noticed that we have regular visitors now, maybe because Covid is relatively under control. They include AlexVolkov (https://rentmen.eu/AlexVolkovXXX) and Max Berg (https://rentmen.eu/Maxbergx). I'd do Max in a minute too. So, more reasons to like Chicago!, amidst the chaos!

Five Guys is ok... but if in Chicago... forget the burgers and do pizza! If you have to do burgers... you can't beat https://www.billygoattavern.com/ especially if you are an old SNL (Saturday Night Live) fan. :p

 

Of the escorts you listed.. I like Alexander's look best, but if he isn't reliable, well %&*$#!

Finally, of all the escorts mentioned in the thread, I have also had experience with Alex Ward and even though its been a long time since I saw him, I can definitely agree on that recommendation.
